Dove hunting season just days away

The Yuma County is only days away from dove hunting season, and the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office ( YCSO ) wants to send out reminders to remember while hunting.

Dove hunting season officially begins Sunday, September 1, a half hour before sunrise, and runs through Sunday, September 15 at sunset.

YCSO wanted to remind the public of some laws to remember when out hunting.

No person may knowingly discharge any firearm or shoot any device upon, from, across, or into a maintained road or railway. A person may not trespass on private property for taking wildlife if that property is posted ” No Hunting ” , “No Trespassing ” , or if a person is asked to leave by the owner. Other restrictions apply to incorporated areas, hunters should always check with local jurisdictions.
