What's wrong with dove hunting in Michigan(prop. 3)?

Question

Doves DO make a meal, doves ARE overpopulated. They are fun to hunt, and banning it is just one step to stopping hunting altogether.

Answer 1

Normy, get your head out of your butt and quit listening to antihunter propaganda!
They are overpopulated, and they need to be hunted. I've heard absolutely no gun club ever say anything as stupid as what you just claimed.
Let's set the record straight: PETA and the humane society are campaigning against prop. 3 for one reason: If they can get a foot in the door here, they have more leverage in the future. After they try one, no hunter is gonna let that wonderful meat lay and rot, they are gonna take it home and eat it. Some of the best wild game in the world! And no hunter is gonna spend the money on a dove permit to use them for target practice...not when clays are WAY cheaper! And just how in the name of everything holy are they gonna use these doves for target practice? You don't call them...you don't whistle or coo and wait for them...unless you are talking about them catching them and releasing them...and that ain't hunting, then what are you getting at?

Gather your own info from several sorces...don't be brainwashed by the antihunter propaganda!

Answer 2

dove's do make a great meal very tasty i love to hunt for them and never hunted with anyone that just left them lay and rot here in ohio you dont have to buy a premit to hunt them all i can say is to vote if you want to dove hunt or just hunt in general we have to put people in office that care about our passion of hunting and if peta had it's way all hunters wont be hunting anything at all

Answer 3

The gun clubs want it passed so they can shoot doves for target practice and not to put them on the dinner table. That's what targets are sold for. This is a bloodsport as far as I'm concerned and a lot of people agree with that. I see nothing wrong with hunters putting meat on the table. I do see a problem with blood thirsty gun toters who call themselves hunters killing doves just for the "fun of it".
