Sad to say not everyone will go after a wounded dove and i have done that before a few times in the past. Normally where i dove hunt is next to a fenced property (belonging to the state) and they have what i called the "AG Police" driving up and down when hunters are around. I've had several dove land within that property and when I went and try to get it, along with other hunters who have tried, the ag police always threaten to have us arrested for traspassing. Sometimes one of the nicer fellows of that group will let us go and get our birds but they won't let us hunt on that side of the fence. I know that is little off the topic of your question but I guess it would really depend on the location of where you are hunting.
