In the West, along the Colorado River and southern Az & Cal. there are more than one species of Dove. The aggregate limit here is Ten birds. The white Wing Dove can make up no more than Four of these. The wing is left on all in your limit to identify the White Wings. To further compound the issue, recent introduction/migration of the Eurasian Dove counts as also part of your ten a day limit. We lobbied for the Eurasians, as an introduced species to have separate limits, but the D.F.G. doesn't trust us enough to identify the several species, (Yep, you mean like in Duck hunting.) Besides the CA. D.F.G. no longer establishes Game Management Policy, as evidence of the 1987 no Cougar (Mountain Lion) hunting, and the recent No Lead bullets in Condor Range Law. All you have to do is collect enough signatures for an Initiative on the next Election or bring a lawsuit in court. These always seem to pass and are approved basis the "Feel Good/Do Good" emotions of a liberal society. The Cougars were not endangered in 87, and the scientific evidence did not support the no lead ban. The DFG and the Hunters that support the DFG through license sales were not allowed comment in court to prove that these actions were not neccessary. You might say who cares, the regs must be followed for the good, but what these types of regs do is dilute the neccessity for the other regs that are backed by sound evidence and biological science. Sorry, I'm "Going Off again". Out!
