Dove Season Opens Dec. 15
posted December 13, 2007

Tennessee’s third segment of mourning dove hunting season opens at thirty minutes before sunrise on Saturday, December 15, 2007, and continues until sunset on January 1, 2008, according to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).

The daily bag limit for mourning doves is fifteen (15).

Although little used by hunters, this last segment can be very productive. Late harvested grain fields attract large flocks of northern doves as they migrate south. This can provide some excellent and challenging shooting to those who are willing to withstand the winter weather.

Hunters should remember that in addition to their licenses, the Migratory Bird Permit (Type 006 or 007) is required for hunting doves (for exceptions, see page 9 of the 2007 Tennessee Hunting and Trapping Guide). Shotguns must be plugged to hold no more than three shells.
