Dove hunting season in full flight once again
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - September 1 marks the start of dove hunting season all across the U.S.
This year it does not just fall onto a Friday, but Labor Day weekend.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) says they are expecting a full flock of people this weekend, especially from California.
According to AZGFD, the only doves you can hunt are white-winged doves, mourning doves, and Eurasian-collared doves.
Also, "the daily bag limit is 15 mourning and white-winged doves, of which no more than 10 may be white-winged."
To hunt you have to make sure you have a valid Arizona hunting license and a migratory bird stamp which can be bought at any time in the season although the sooner the better.
You can purchase them at www.azgfd.com/license/.
Also, make sure to be up to date with this year's regulations at azfgd.com.
