I tried to pop one with a pellet gun in Montana a couple weeks ago, but missed it. I was curious to see how they taste. Three years ago MT FWP thought I was a little looney when I told them I was seeing a few Eurasian collared doves around. Now they're all over southern and central Montana. No limit and no closed season. Next time I head south to MT I'll have to break out the scatter gun and get a few. They're definitely bigger and slower than mourning doves so I might actually be able to hit one.
