Dealing with invasive birds or fish can be a real problem. With no local natural controls they will quickly rise in numbers until they start to or completely push other native birds out of their place in local environments. Killing a few hundred of might make a minor dent in local population for a short while but they will be back. I have no problem with this shoot other than the fact I was not there.
If you think all the doves you shoot September 1 are done nesting you are wrong. Migratory birds are certainly not nesting but locals will breed multiple times per year and may still have their last clutch in nest as the hunting season approaches. To those too concerned about shooting birds that may still have young I suggest they delay hunting until mid October just to be safe.
