I know dove season starts Monday but some people think it starts at day light some say 2:00 that afternoon. I keep telling those that think 2:00 that that's last years thing with it starting on Sunday. What's the right time.

*** Shooting Hours Notice ***
Shooting hours for opening day in both zones begins at 30 minutes prior to sunrise on private lands.

See the last page.

"**Dove Season opens at 2:00 p.m. on September 1st for both Dove Zones"

I must be blind. I do not see a 2pm start anywhere on that last page or any of the other pages.

Different link, but says 2014-2015 seasons... 30 minutes before sunrise

Now why in the hell does MDWFP still have the 2013-2014 Season Dates and Limits still posted under the "Season Dates and Limits" tab under hunting and wildlife if they have expired. I did manage to find the 2014-2015 Season dates and Limits, but it was under the "Featured Items" menu.

I know its a simple oversight, but somebody could easily get a ticket who thought they had done due diligence a by looking up the dates at the source.

Home page. Left side. Right under "MDWFP NEWS" Dove Season Start Time is another link titled "2014-2015 Season Dates".

So which is it wingman. 30 minutes before sunrise or 2pm??

I shoot in the morning

Local judge was on the radio yesterday making small talk, also had it wrong saying "I hope everyone knows that dove season actually starts at 2:00. The WMA shooting appears to start at 2:00.

JACKSON - Dove hunting seasons will open on September 1 in the North Zone and September 13 in the South Zone. The North Dove Zone is defined as areas north of U.S. Hwy. 84 plus areas south of U.S. Hwy. 84 and west of MS Hwy. 35. The South Dove Zone is defined as areas south of U.S. Hwy. 84 and east of MS Hwy. 35.

For private lands on opening day in both zones, shooting hours will start 30 minutes before sunrise. Dove fields on Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) Wildlife Management Areas will have various shooting times, depending on the specific area's regulations. Fields operated under the MDWFP Private Land Dove Field Program will have a shooting start time of 12 p.m. Shooting hours for all migratory game birds end at sunset. All MDWFP conservation officers will be working with federal officers to ensure hunters are in compliance with state and federal hunting laws.
