I have the odd Eurasian at my place. I’m curious how to hunt them. Do you let them land so you can ID them?

Jason will be along soon I'm sure to answer this question. I asked him the same thing this morning. The tail gives it away.

I answered you in Instagram too..

Look for a long square tipped tail on the Eurasians/ringers. Mourning dove have a single feather tip that looks like a point and flare like a triangle when they bank. Eurasians have a square tail and it’s a wide square with feathers all the same length when they bank or fly . This is the number one indicator in flight for us. Once you see it a few times actually looking for it, you can’t unsee it. It becomes second nature. Also the Eurasians fly like a slow drunk pigeon.

Well color me jealous.

Not many where I hunt, but I always I D’d by first thinking it was a pigeon.

I have seen at my hunting lease, when I go out there in a couple of weeks I think I will take my shotgun and a sack of milo.

Bacon anyone?

There it is

Do they taste like mourning dove?

[redleif]

They taste the same to me. They are about the size of a large white wing. We just cook the same as any dove.

Looks like fun! Do y'all throw out some millet or anything when it's not mourning dove season?

We do not.... but the feedlots near us does put out plenty of grain and wheat seed

Nothing at all wrong with it it you did. I would. But if the feedlot has that base covered for you already, that's even better. Always good bird (dove, pheasant, quail) hunting next to a feedlot.

Pretty darn cool! Any feral pigeons flying around there? I’d bet they get thick as the Eurasians around the feedlots.
