I know that when I am hunting mourning doves I can only use a shotgun capable of holding up to 3 shells. But if I am specifically targeting Eurasian doves, can I hunt with a rifle? I understand that I would not be able to shoot mourning doves with this method, but can Eurasian doves be taken with a rifle?
Answer:
If you are specifically targeting Eurasion doves you can use a rifle and you must have a hunting license. Please conduct risk assessments on every shot. There are huge safety concerns regarding the use of a rifle to take Eurasion doves. Please ensure there is an appropriate backstop.
