Gotta crappy pic of a leucistic Eurasian collared dove this morning

best thing about those birds....no bag limit.

I've always enjoyed telling the game warden I shot 16 birds and watching their reaction

Very cool! A guy on TBH just had one mounted and it turned out great.

I shot some weird phase one in my backyard while in college. Good times.

Let me see if I can find the picture of the two melanistic white wings my buddy shot...

Edit: found it

Stuffed with jalapeno and wrapped in bacon it's hard to tell ring neck, white wing or morning dove apart!

True, size matters. They do cook up the same.

They are thick as hell on my back patio. They know I can't shoot them so they just go ahead and **** on everything to rub it in.

Not native. No bag limit. Assuming no illegal means of shooting/killing. When I was a kid, I used to trap all kinds of regular birds, squirrels, etc. with a box propped up with a stick and twine tied to it, run off into the house. Wylie Coyote/Road Runner type stuff. The trick is, the sides and preferably the top need to have a mesh (hardware cloth preferably). Used 2x4's to make a frame for weight and covered it with the mesh. Fairly decent size. Bait the ring neck doves in with corn or bird seed. Trap during the weekday evenings, bag the feathers/remains in the trash. Eat like a king with a cold beer on Saturday.

A .17 pellet gun with enough power is a great weapon against suburb ring necks sitting on a wire or on a bird bath. You still need a hunting license to take them, though.

I agree. Inca tastes the best IMO.
