"If you've never been dove hunting you're in for a big surprise...those are some quick thinking little boogers."
Then you have smart strain, around here i could catch them with a butterfly net.
Oh! I thought of them as rats with wings. But feathered pigs works even better.
"Reparations" Granholm must be really scared of the negative political fallout she's getting for her reprobate Catholic "I'm against abortion personally, but..." bullshit!
I was hoping for open season on "Peace" protesters.
Guess I will just have to take my ire out on some succulent squab.

My grandson knocks them off my bird feeders with a wiffile bat.
Six of one half dozen of the other.
Not weird. Stupid. Our neighborhood doves do exactly the same thing, and then crash right into the window, something that I have yet to observe any of the other neighborhood birds doing.
Or maybe they're just sad. LOL! Sad...mourning dove.
Having hunted them (In Michigan,) I'll agree.
They're almost as hard to hit as snipe.

Well, it hit my funny bone! LOL! BTW, a delectable treat is to lay six, or eitht, or ten of them on a broiling pan and pin a strip of bacon over each one and throw'em in the oven for a few minutes. Yum!
I'm sure many people who will criticize her for this don't think twice about her strong support for killing human fetuses.
Out West, they were never been a "song bird", and I've eaten many of them.
Incidentally, one of the harder wing targets, due not only to their size, but also to their erratic manuevers. It is almost as if they can see, and are actively dodging, the shot.
I love dove shoots. My father and I and my son go every year. You can never say you are a good wing shot until you can consistantly limit out on doves...IMHO
