No in what state?

If you are referring to mourning doves, FEDERAL regulations prohibit hunting them with an airgun.Specifically International Migratory Games Law Treaties regulate hunting of mourning doves. Laws of individual states vary quite a lot, but the Federal regulations apply to all states. In addition to any Federal laws, one must always check the State laws, and even the County and/or City regulations, as the local regs can be even more restrictive than anything on a higher level.game department specifies shotguns only for game birds as the mourning dove. In most states that I am aware of Collared doves are not a game bird and considered invasive. There is no bag limit on them and use of airgun is ok. So the answer is NO. You may only use a shotgun.

in my state you can hunt ring neck doves any time any way they are considered invasive species

hunting dove is not legal, or is it?

Looks like the OP changed his screen name.

If you're talking about shooting sad birds with an airgun, FEDERAL laws forbid it. Collared doves are not considered game birds and are invasive in the majority of the states I am aware of. The use of airguns is permitted, and there is no bag limit on them.
