Dove, Crane Regulations Available Now

Dove, Crane Regulations Available Now

From AZGFD

Dove and sandhill crane regulations have now been posted on the Arizona Game And Fish Department Web site at http://www.azgfd.gov.

You can download a copy of the 2012 crane regulations at http://www.azgfd.gov/regs/craneregs.pdf or the dove regulations at http://www.azgfd.gov/regs/doveregs.pdf.

Please keep in mind that there is a drawing for the available sandhill crane permits and you must apply by mail only (it’s not part of the online process). The deadline to apply for the crane hunt-permit applications is Aug. 31.

Don’t forget that starting last year, dove and other small game hunters gained access to around 1 million acres of land around municipalities.

Once again, the Game and Fish Commission has set the bag limit for both mourning dove and white-winged dove at 10 birds per day, and are continuing the all-day shooting hours from ½ hour before sunrise until sunset — statewide.

Dove hunters may also want to visit our updated dove hunting pages at http://www.azgfd.gov/dove. For those hunters on the go, visit our mobile-friendly dove page at http://www.azgfd.gov/m.dove, which offers the bare necessities for dove hunters.
