The daily bag limit for dove hunting has increased from 12 birds per day to 15 birds per day.

According to Lake Front Hartwell News, "this change is based on extensive analysis and recommendations from dove biologists from eastern states striving for a consistent mourning dove season and bag limit throughout the Eastern Management Unit (EMU). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service concurred with the increased bag limit and it is available for the 2008-09 dove season."

Previously if the daily bag limit increased the hunting days decreased, but this year hunters will be able to hunt 15 birds with the full 70-day season in Georgia and South Carolina.

The dove hunting season is segmented into three parts. Georgia will open it season for the first segment on September 6 until September 21. The second segment will open October 11 until 19, and the last segment runs from November 27th to January 10th.

Hunting hours (except for September 6th in Georgia and September 1-6 in South Carolina) will be 30 minutes before sunrise to sunset in both states.

So you ask, "Where do I go dove hunting in Georgia?"

Dove hunting land in Georgia is usually found on or around agricultural fields. Doves like to gather around recently harvested crop fields. Features such as water and perching places (trees, snags, power lines) also appeal to doves.

From the Georgia DNR Web site: "Georgia has more than 90 wildlife management areas (WMA) throughout the state, and there's one within an hour's drive of every Georgian. Through the WMA system, hunters have access to nearly one million acres of hunting land for the price of one WMA stamp."
