I want to shoot a banded dove something fierce!

Sweet, killed 2 banded mallards last year (I'm not in a flyway). One of which had been banned only 2 weeks prior  in Louisiana. That thing was flying sideways 🤣

I didn’t know doves were considered a migratory bird

Bands jewelry charms.. no matter what they go by they are awesome for a couple reasons. 

1. It helps biologists track migration life spans breeding areas population and so much more.

2. They get researchers out there to help identify healthy habitats as well as food and water sources 

3. They are freaking cool when you shoot one and get to type in all the info and find out everything about that bird. Plus get that cool little band to remember it forever! 

This dove was 3 year old male and banded 100 miles from where it was shot.
