Dove Limit Change in SW Oklahoma
If you are hunting in Southwest Oklahoma make sure you find out what the limit is. To my surprise my farm went from a 15 bird limit to a 12 bird limit this season.
On the flip side, they have also opened up a 1 week dove season at the end of December. I am guessing we are the test bed for this practice and if successfull this might be implemented throughout the state.

Im glad that they modified the season. I only wish it affected more of Oklahoma. I cant wait till september 1st!!!!
Have you seen shotgun shells on sale anywhere yet? Academy last year had them for $30.00 a case (250 rounds). I hope that they do that again.

What was the reasoning for the change in regs? I never see a shortage of birds down that way?
No sales yet, but Academy should be having their sale shortly!

From what I remember reading it wasnt that they wanted to cut back the number of dove. It was that they wanted to extend the season. But I guess they were worried about leaving a healthy populations so they lowered the numbers. I really wish it covered the altus lugert area, there were a ton of dove out there after the season.

Hey guys, dont post much here but live in Oklahoma. I just hope the tropical storm we had didnt move a bunch of birds out. I was seeing tons of them, now only a few here and there.

RE: Dove Limit Change in SW Oklahoma
I was a little worried about that also, but I was more worried about my new trail camera I just put out on my creek. I haven't been able to get down there yet to check to see if it was submerged or not. [:@] I was able to drive by my my milo field tonight and it had birds all over it. Next week I will bail it up and should make for a good opening weekend.
