Dove are good eating if you like dark meat. They kinda taste like the dark meat of a wild turkey. If prepared right they are delicious. I just had some this weekend prepared in a Mole' sauce. The Ringnecks, Collared, or Eurasian (all the same bird) can be taken any day of the year with no limit. They are considered an invasive species here in Az. The Mourning Doves and White Wings can only be taken during the dove hunting season with a limit of 10 Mourning Dove and I think 5 or 6 White Wing total. Don't quote me without checking the regs first. The short 2 week season starts Sept. 1st through the 15th and the second season runs mid-November through the first week of Jan. Not sure the exact dates. You can now shoot within city limits as long as you are a 1/4 mile from an occupied dwelling. They are easy to clean. Just rip out the breat with your fingers and you are done. Lots of video on you tube. I can usually clean my limit in about 10 minutes.
