DNR Property Dove Hunts
-------------------------
Mail-in application due by July 20
Online application deadline, Aug. 3
The Department of Natural Resources offers reserved mourning dove hunts by random drawing at 12 properties.
Hunters can apply for the reserved dove hunts by completing the 2007 reserved dove hunt application in the 2007-08 Indiana Hunting and Trapping Guide, or they may apply online after July 1 at www.IndianaOutdoor.IN.gov.
The reserved hunts will take place the first two days of mourning dove season, except at Bluegrass Fish and Wildlife Area, which will draw for the second and fourth days of the season.
Migratory game bird hunting seasons, such as mourning dove, are subject to approval by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and will not be set until late summer. Dove season in Indiana typically begins Sept. 1.
Participating properties have managed hunting fields planted with sunflower, millet or wheat to provide habitat for doves. Dove field growing conditions can vary across the state. Wet weather can delay planting. Dry weather can stunt sunflower growth. If traveling far to a hunt, contact the property office a week or so before your hunt to check dove field conditions.
Kankakee and Pigeon River fish and wildlife areas require non-toxic shot for all dove hunters.
Hunters will be selected through a random drawing. Hunters who are selected for the reserved dove hunt may bring one hunting partner. Selected hunters and their hunting partners must claim their reservation prior to 11 a.m. the day of the hunt. Hunting spots on fish and wildlife areas and reservoirs that are not claimed will be filled with stand-by hunters.
During the rest of dove hunting season, participating properties will have drawings each day at 11 a.m. to allocate hunting sites in managed fields. To participate in these drawings, arrive at the property by 10:30 a.m. Blue Grass FWA will have open dove hunting on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays only after the fourth day of dove season. Other DNR properties may also have open dove hunting available.
