Ritter said the Division of Wildlife also is in peril of losing funding for a proposed Front Range shooting range and outdoor education center.

For two years, the agency has been sitting on an $800,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado for the facility.

“Dove” = Pigeon = flying rats. No thanks!

The more important note is that here is a democrat publicly voicing support for shooting sports and hunting.

Keeping promises after a champaign is something politicians of both parties have problems with.

Here in Ohio it was the same thing, the Democrat candidate was openly supportive of gun rights, and today we call him Governor. With the gun issue neutralized, republicans have to work harder. Will they?

The only two really good reasons I know of for shooting anything are for food and because whatever it is is a nuisance or a menace to man and you might include trophy hunting as a third possibility. I don’t see how doves fit into any of the three and shooting something because “it flies sort of like skeets do” doesn’t really strike me as reasonable. I’d rather shoot skeets. I don’t understand dove hunting.

Thanks to the funding from the The Humane Society of the United States, Michigan’s brief and highly restricted dove hunting season was terminated in 2006 following a very costly, but effective anti-dove hunting campaign waged by the above ANTI-HUNTING, ANTI-SHOOTING, ANTI-YOU NAME IT organization...........

What about the additional Federal tax we pay on ammo and sporting equipment...I thought that was for hunting habitat and development of facilities? I guess it’s the equivalent of Social Security.

Grilled dove breast wrapped in bacon is some of the finest wild game you can find. There is actually as sizable portion of meat on each bird. More than you get off a single blue gill, that’s why people try to bag more than one.
