Dove Season Begins September 1

Dove hunters will have the same season and limits as last year when hunting begins September 1. Meeting in Driggs earlier this month, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission approved the department recommendation for no change in regulations. Dove hunting rules and shooting hours are found in the current Upland Game Seasons booklet. Hours are the same this year as for 2000. A one-sheet flier updated for 2001 will also be available at vendors and Fish and Game offices. Dove hunters are reminded that they need the $1.50 federal bird harvest information validation on their licenses that covers all migratory birds.
