if the dove are in season, you're allowed to bring a gun, as long as it's centerfire only...
I don't understand. A centerfire rifle? How you going to shoot a dove with a rifle. Hell it's hard enough to hit them things with a shotgun
Maybe i didnt see the NOT before centerfire....I dont know....it was late...but i do know they are allowed and they arent allowed to use anything bigger than a 10 g.....i know they wont be dove hunting where i'll be, i always hunt the marsh edge, but i still think it's fricking ridiculous......the one reason i got into bow hunting was because the deer aren't spooked and they dont seem to get spooked , at least as quickly.... they allow dove hunting during the small game out there....hell, i even helped with the food plots/dove fields ,whatever you call em, lol....,but no one told me about this crap....i'd like to see things changed...dont get me wrong , i love dove hunting , small game in general....i usually hog hunt in the a.m. and squirrel hunt in the afternoons....there should of been more thought to the rules and regs on this one....it doesnt bother me during gun when i hear duck hunters out on the river, i mean i dont like it too much but it's easier to except seeingthe deerhuntershave a gun too....
i'm sure i wont change a thing but i'm going to try, they do rule changes every 2 years so i'll be screwed for 2 years because they just had a rule change....but i feel obligated to do something....
