Kansas dove hunting at its best, we hunt doves morning and evening. Most of our hunts are on ponds and feed fields. We incorporate Mojo decoys with our static decoys for maximum results. There is nothing better than hot dove action and a pile of spent shells to get you primed for the start of a long hunting season. Let the fun begin!

For the 7th year, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) is cooperating in a mourning dove banding project involving more than two dozen states. The agency is asking dove hunters to look for leg bands on the mourning doves they shoot during the regular dove season. The purpose of this banding project is to estimate annual survival rates, harvest rates, and distribution of th
e harvest, as well as to refine techniques for future dove-banding projects. This data is necessary for understanding population trends and responsibly managing dove harvests. Kansas typically has one of the largest mourning dove breeding populations and ranks in the top 10 in dove harvest. Last year, 2,452 doves were banded in Kansas. In 2007, the harvest rate averaged 4.7 percent of the overall estimated dove population. The hunter is a critical link in this study. Report banded mourning doves by phoning 1-800-327-BAND (2263). Banded birds may also be reported on the internet at http://www.reportband.gov/. Hunters can keep the bands and will be provided a certificate identifying the age, sex, date, and location the bird was banded.
In addition to the regular dove season, Kansas has a season for non-native Eurasian collared and ringed turtle doves. This season runs Nov. 20-Feb. 28, 2011. Four species of doves -- mourning, white-winged, Eurasian-collared, and ringed-turtle -- are legal to hunt in Kansas during the regular seasons; however, mourning doves are the only commonly-harvested dove species in the state and the only ones being banded.
