Dove hunting in Michigan

Posted by David Hardy · 13 October 2006 03:01 PM

The controversy over allowing dove hunting (which has always been legal in Arizona) in Michigan is heating up.

It's strange to my eyes. From my days at Interior, I recall that it was no issue at all. Doves rely on mass reproduction to survive. They build rickety nests that are constantly falling down, are a favorite of predators, etc.. They have a life expectancy of about zero, and get around it by mass-producing young. They're one bird on which adding some hunting take has no possible impact.

Yep-But the anti's keep telling people that it is the "dove of peace" the real goal is to stop or reduce all hunting in MI.

Would that they had only Michigan "in their sights". Unfortunately, they don't; fortunately, we all know better.

The real issue here is that the law was signed by the Govenor. Tha fact that it was signed by a "liberal" Govenor one would have thought that the opponents of this law would see that there was very good science backing the Law. I would think that with all the hunting heritage in the Great State of Michigan, that this would have not been an issue at all. Didn't those who signed the petition, also put those in office who voted on 5029?
