How "might have" they tasted.From ND G&F website:
"Migratory birds include all migratory game birds and most birds found in the United States with the exception of the house sparrow, feral pigeon (commonly called rock dove), European starling, Eurasian collared dove, mute swan, and upland game birds, which are protected by state laws. A complete list of protected migratory birds is found in Title 50 Code of Federal Regulations, Section. 10.13."
That at least tells me Eurasian doves aren't federally protected. I highly doubt they are protected by the state.
The only thing that makes me wonder is when I called and asked about shooting chukar in ND because I had come across them several times while hunting pheasants. I asked if I could shoot them. A little different situation, but the guy I talked to said that since they are NOT on the proclamation you can NOT shoot them. This is different in that chukar are not invasive to the united states. They also aren't migratory and those that exist are either directly from game farms/field trials or are descendants of those birds. They have taken hold and flourished in towns like Bismarck just as collared doves have.
My point is...the Game and Fish may have some sort of unexpected regulations on collared doves outside of the regular dove season so it may be worth checking. The chukar partridge rule caught me off guard. This news may or may not have come a little too late for a couple chukar that may or may not have been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
