Dove Hunting Season

I think it starts half an hour before sunrise, a fine time on Fall mornings. People tell me 40 make a meal. There are surely worse things to do. But Blake said something right that's relevant:

He who shall hurt the little wren
Shall never be beloved of men.
He who the ox to wrath has moved
Shall never be by woman loved.

I don't know what happens to people who shoot 40 doves a half hour before dawn.

The Kentucky limit for a single day dove hunt is 15. Various wild life management areas are available throughout the state for dove hunters. The official shoot starts at 10 AM and always falls on September 1. Game wardens typically stop by throughout the day and check for a valid hunting license, proper shotgun equipment (3 shells in a gun is the limit) and a migratory bird stamp. The meat is dark and is removed from the dove's breast, soaked over night in water and frozen in baggies for future meals. Five to seven dove would more then feed an individual.
