They have very little meat on them, to be sure. But since I shoot so many of them during the season, I always have more than enough for me and the dogs.
I have a pet Mourning Dove :) A nest fell out of the tree with 2 babies, one died and the other one was abandoned. We took her in and raised her and she's been fine ever since.
I love hunting dove its good saine fun. i am a 16 year old minnesotan and even i know that hunters like myself dont hunt for food. Not that we dont enjoy the game we kill. we do it for the excitement and it also just a good way to spend time with friends and family. doves do taste very very good but that is not the main motive behind hunting them. and btw hunters give more to the enviornment than we take every year we pay 100 plus dollars on stamps liscences and permits, it all gets put back.
I'm going to genocide the hell out of some dubs in less than a month. Stock up on bacon, japs, and cream cheese, cause the price on bacon wrapped dove breasts is about to go up, cuz!
This is the first I knew that doves were commonly killed for food, let alone being the number one game bird in America. I am so surprised. Not wild turkeys? Not ducks? not geese? I have never heard of anyone in my area (northern and central NYS) hunting doves.
Who could hunt these beautiful birds? If the dove stands between you and starvation-- if it supplies only 2 bites of food--I understand, but otherwise...I don't.
A pair nested outside my door this spring. I enjoyed every moment.

I am so pissed and sad.. We had this bird.. it had a nest in our front door.. it was there for at least 2 and a half weeks!
It didn't mind us passing by.. she and her nest are just a few inches away from physical contact.. but one day.. I tried to give it a cup with feeds so close to its nest.. it flew away and never came back!
I have them in my garden. They are a joy. The thought of blasting these poor things is sick. Just because they will survive as a species is no justification. Humans have inflicted genocide and slavery on each other and survived as a species but that does not justify such atrocities. Anyway, thanks for an interesting video.
I live in an apartment complex in LA which features a swimming pool set in a courtyard. My neighbor across the yard is playing host to a mommy mourning dove awaiting her eggs to be hatched. She's been sitting in a nest constructed in a hanging flower pot. This by far is the most exciting thing going on in LA. Needless to say, none of us here on Arch Drive are too big into TMZ or Perez Hilton. We're dove people
@gore53 I had just the same experience as your neighbor. A dove nested in a hanging plant outside my porch door this spring. I really enjoyed the experience! Kept me from using my porch door, but anything for the little dove family!
@delta5297 The mourning dove is hunted, but there are regulations that limit it - like a hunting season. There aren't those same regulations protecting the house sparrow population.
@Nikki817 it should be against the law for our brothers to go to PRISON for smoking a marijuana ciggarette. Backwards people make me sick, WHAT ABOUT HUMANITY? birds are here for us to eat, shooting them for pure sport is one thing, but it's not a huge fucking injustice COME ON!
@frootjoos I have a few videos where the calls are featured. I'm much more aggressive about getting the microphones in position these days, but sometimes the birds just don't cooperate.
No disrespect toward hunters intended, but considering that we regard doves as symbols of peace, it seems rather ironic that people would shoot so many of them.
Six clutches a year is rather a lot?? Cant take long for the babies to mature then. Zebra finches in totality from egg laying to Babies independance cant take about twelve weeks. If they breed more then three times a year they are dangerously close to exhaustion.
@OstrichVids That's cool. You should post it as a video response to this video. It might get you some extra views. I didn't watch all of it, but I did see them fly away at the end. Very cool.
@AgileHProductions I'll check 'em out! I love birds, your documentary making is pretty good but I felt I had to tell you that one thing, hope you don't mind haha
none of you people really understand hunting because you have never done it, its not just a sport but a way of life and some of us just dont kill it, we love the bird for what it brings to us, food for our family, and a fun time doing it, in the bible it states that all animals and birds where put on this earth for us to eat, and its also fun because its such a chalenge not anyone can go out and kill a limit of geese it takes years of practice, so don knock it until you try it
@DuckKiller1327 I agree. I care a lot about nature and wildlife, and my family hunts and so do I. All of my family cares a lot about wildlife. People don't realize that we can hunt and fish because it balances the ecosystem. If nobody was able to hunt white-tailed deer, you know what would happen? There wouldn't be enough food for them and they would starve. People can be so narrow-minded.
Sony HDR-SR12. It's HD consumer camera with a hard drive. I love it. I think it takes nice pictures in good light. In poor lighting picture quality suffers, but that is true for any camera.
@AgileHProductions Can you tell me what camera do you use to make these amazing videos. I like the quality of the video and will soon get a video camera so if you specify the Camera name and model no that would be of great help. Thanks in advanced...
awww i love mourning doves!! i see them in my neighborhood, they have really good camouflage against the earth. good documentary; it's very informative and concise!
We have two sets of Mourning Doves and last year we only had one pair. The other day one of our Mourning Doves was hurt and we found him or her flopping in the yard. She died the same day. Her mate is still here and all by himself. Will he or she find another mate?
Thank You so much!.... I love the mourning doves cooing..... as I drink my mourning cup of coffee outside..... Somewhere I read only the male doves do the cooing..... does any one know if this is true?.
We have a lot of these here as well, they have a black ring/crescent on their necks tho, they are the only birds I would shoot, and I only shoot them IF I was going to eat them which is rare, but I am not anti-hunting. Some people are stupid, they hunt game for fun and they throw it away or just a trophy of see how many I shot ! Why would you kill something if it is no use to you !!!!! my opinion nothing more ..
Give me a f*cking break people....My last name is Dove and I eat the Sh*t out of these birds whenever I can....They don't live up here in Alaska but if I could go to Brazil and shot and eat Doves, I would in a little doves heartbeat.
This shit dove have to much here, in Brazil, every summer I go to my grandfather ranch and shoot hundreds of this little shit and other spicie, bigger, here its called carijó-dove or white-handle... All game are clean and eat. I love pigeon/dove meat!!! And hunt!!! Is very, very good hunt. Some people don't understand this... Believe that is cruel but... personally I think that is less cruel that captivity creation... I prefer die for a gun that live 40 days in captivity for feed a fag...
@minorojr The thing most people never like about hunting is people enjoy the leisure of killing lives, it's the mentality that makes it disgusting. You want die then live in prison, but I can tell you if animals have a choice they would do anything to live.
What does going in the wilderness and killing for sick pleasure has any ethics related to a dove that happen to be born in the wild? Chicken born in a farm goes through a much more painless process than being in the wild for a hunter to shoot them and bleed to death.
@EspritIsland "painless process" this is very, very relative search "Meet tour Meat" in the you tube. Of course this not happen in all chicken farm but... Don't exist a solucion for de cow farm...
I never understood the sport of hunting. I'm no Peta freak or some bleeding heart, but I mean...how is that fun? I mean REALLY.
I guess it's because man can buy all his meat now instead of having to kill it but jesus? I can even see killing and eating it, but shooting just to do it and mount it on your wall? Wtf?
I encourage you to try hunting someday. IMO it's a fun/exciting experience. I think it's fun for a number of different reasons. fulfilling a primal instinct, Tradition, Challenge, togetherness of family and freinds
@Seif5034 I think you become more in tune with nature. Adrenaline flows. Senses are amplified. Its an experience that is somewhat similar to early humans hunt for food. In this case, its mostly sport, some food. Think about this, a cute kitty still wants to kill, even if you feed them well! It fullfills a primal need, rather than instinct. i got 3 cute little killers, every day its something. Bird snake lizard. They have 4 different foods at any time and still kill!
@urbanr0cker People hunt because humans have been doing it for thousands of years, plus even though you do buy your meat from the store now, somebody still has to kill it, and besides those reasons, Doves are very tasty!
Its the challenge of dove shooting. Dove are fast and erratic, and very hard to hit. Its more of a traditon thing as well. An I would put money that at least 90% of the people that shoot dove, including me, eat them afterwords. Its good, natrual meat, versus meat from unclean factory farms.
Had a pair of Mourning Doves that built a nest on my patio this year. They had 3 broods of 2 each, 6 babies total. It was cool to watch them grow. The parents became very acoustomed to me and would sit within inches of me on the porch. Very nice coo'ing sound to hear in the morning, as it is subtle and not chirpy like most birds...and they chase those annoying birds away!!! Another plus.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i would be like "eeww dove *takes out gun and shoots them* well thats better" and i hate animal activist's they have no knowlege that we HAVE to hunt to control population and if they over-populate they would quickly eat all of the food then they would die.
These birds are no more helpless than the cows bread for slaughter that everybody eats. Just because an animal is "cute" does not make it wrong to hunt. These birds are challenging to hunt and they taste great!
there a nice bird but there nasty as hell and they shit on every thing... i had 4 nest of them at my house they crap on every thing and made hugemesses so... the meet my side by side 16 guage
16 gauge side by side? Dang...I've looked for one of those but can't find one. But I was satisfied with a side by side 8 gauge. Who is your's made by?
Yes, doves are the most peaceful birds or animals in the world, no wonder they are mentioned in the Bible. Its really sad that we humans kill so many of them for NOTHING and destroying the whole world like that, but we will soon learn!
What kind of comment is that?!? "I like shooting them, but not killing them, actually I never really shot one , but I like to think I did"....fuckin huntard.....shows your mindset.
Why are they the leading gamebird? They seem like a very peacful bird. They always come to my backyard birdfeeder and are so peacful to others. They will move for birds, big and small and are so polite. They often go around birds than barreling right through them like a blue jay.
@StateOfTheArts There's a difference between recklessly overhunting a species to extiction and responsibly hunting within DNR regulations. I care a lot about wildlife, but you are being narrow-minded.
You shouldn't have to worry about that happening. Both dogs and cats cannot see actual images thru your computer or TV screen because the images are made up of tiny pixels.
40 to 70K killed a year? No wonder they're mourning...

Had a pair of Mourning Doves that built a nest on my patio this year. They had 3 broods of 2 each, 6 babies total. It was cool to watch them grow. The parents became very acoustomed to me and would sit within inches of me on the porch. Very nice coo'ing sound to hear in the morning, as it is subtle and not chirpy like most birds...and they chase those annoying birds away!!! Another plus.

i would be like "eeww dove *takes out gun and shoots them* well thats better" and i hate animal activist's they have no knowlege that we HAVE to hunt to control population and if they over-populate they would quickly eat all of the food then they would die.

These birds are no more helpless than the cows bread for slaughter that everybody eats. Just because an animal is "cute" does not make it wrong to hunt. These birds are challenging to hunt and they taste great!

Yes, doves are the most peaceful birds or animals in the world, no wonder they are mentioned in the Bible. Its really sad that we humans kill so many of them for NOTHING and destroying the whole world like that, but we will soon learn!

Why are they the leading gamebird? They seem like a very peacful bird. They always come to my backyard birdfeeder and are so peacful to others. They will move for birds, big and small and are so polite. They often go around birds than barreling right through them like a blue jay.

Anybody who gets a kick out of shooting helpless animals should go in for a mental evaluation.

@StateOfTheArts There's a difference between recklessly overhunting a species to extiction and responsibly hunting within DNR regulations. I care a lot about wildlife, but you are being narrow-minded.

My cats both go crazy when I am editing videos about birds. I am starting to worry that they are going to jump at the screen and knock it over.

You shouldn't have to worry about that happening. Both dogs and cats cannot see actual images thru your computer or TV screen because the images are made up of tiny pixels.

My cats love nature shows on TV, too. Make a video of your cat knocking down your screen. That'll be funny.
