RE: Doves are protected in NY as songbirds
It' s that way in Mi. as well. The hunters of this state did as suggested and banded together to try and change it. Took three trys to get the legislature to go for it.
Then the anti' s got it put on the ballet and that ended the hunt before we ever had one. It' ll never change here now. To dam many city folks voting their emotions and not enough hunters. Because a bunch of idiots in Detroit don' t understand wildlife management we don' t hunt dove here, just export them to the states south of us that do. And from Ohio and Indiana and all points on south of them they all hunt the Mi. birds headed south.
But the idiots in Detroit don' t understand that.
