It depends on the reason. Most states don't have a Dove season because there isn't a Dove population to support one. We have Bears and Mountain Lionsin Oklahoma but no season on them. There isn't enough of them to support one. So guess what? If I want to hunt them I must go to another state that has a season on them. Just like you need to do if you want to Dove hunt. Doesn't sound like your state made much money on the Dove season or hadmuch of a fight to save itor you would still have one.
