[QUOTE="ghostfive, post: 5646577, member: 13346"] After 2 years of talking with TWRA they finally agreed with the Federal Migratory bird folks, but only after I spoke with the regional director. Collared doves are an invasive species and they do list them in the dove season. The reason being, most people don't know how to identify them from mourning doves. The TWRA conclusion was, you can legally take them any time but if you mistakenly shoot a mourning dove you are breaking the law. The regional director from the Federal agency confirmed this with me personally when she called me while I was picking up a pizza. I now carry a copy of the Federal law on what species can be taken and when without the need for a deprivation permit. Included are blackbirds, Redwing blackbirds, starlings, English sparrows, collared doves, pigeons, European geese, muskovy ducks, cowbirds and I'm sure I left out a couple. Hope this helps clear it up. [/QUOTE]
