Yeah, we consider them a bonus bird here in Oklahoma. They eat just like a regular dove except they are twice the size.

Yes, they are a lighter color and have a black/brown ring around their neck.

They have a different "coo" when stationary. They're expanding rapidly. If you clean them you have to count them-check your state regulations.
The ones we've whacked taste like dove, they're bigger though.
Their flight is a little different, they're usually in groups of about half a dozen or so. Not like our mourning doves that are in pairs or singles or the occasional trio...

Arizona changed its limit this year from a bag limit of 25 to unlimited, plus we can hunt them year round. We have Mourning Doves, White-wing Doves and Eurasian Doves here to test our abililties. They are twice the size of a MD and fly slower and they have a more squared off tail than a MD.
