:? Not trying to be holier-than-thou, but I do believe that a .300 Win Mag is definitely not a dove gun according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife regulations governing migratory game birds.

Those federal guys have no sense of humor. They just shows up and takes away your toys.

Let's be careful out there!

Looks like a pigeon to me.

I do believe that the 300 win mag is acceptable for pidgeon self defense, I am assuming that this one was attacking you with that sharp yellow beak. :-D

:-) That's cool. Doves are one thing. Pigeons are another.

I knew it wasn't a mourning dove -- the kind we hunt here in Tennessee. But it didn't look like anything we call pigeons around here, either. From the subject heading, I gathered there was a subspecies of migratory dove out west that I wasn't familiar with. Y'all have got all kinds of birds and animals on the other side of the river that are not exactly like what we have.

The main thing was that I didn't want some youngster to see the post, then go out and bust a dove with a .223 while groundhog hunting and get in trouble for it.

The changed heading addressed my concern.

That's pretty good shooting for a boomer like that, by the way.

What are you guys seeing that I'm not? There is no image in the post other than a banner for another site and the URL given is not an image URL nor will it take me to a page with such an image on it. Care to explain?

Wasnt anything left to take a picture of, just feathers raining down. Won't do that again, besides, it isn't legal with rifle here anymore, used to be you could use anything for grouse.
