Can you eat the Eurasian-collared dove?

Answer: 

Yes.  Many dove hunters have enjoyed the opportunity provided by eurasian-collared doves.  They are a litte bigger than mourning doves and should provide a little more meat than the standard mourning dove.  Eurasian-collared doves are classified as 'unprotected' and can be hunted and taken all year.  They may be taken in any amounts and at any time by holders of the appropriate valid hunting license, provided such taking is not in violation of state, county, or city laws, ordinances or regulations.
