non-toxic & lead shot for doves

[say_der]

After cruising through the 2004 regulations, I didn't find a clear definition of wheather or not non-toxic shot is a requirement for dove hunting.

If I am not wearing blaze orange, then non-toxic shot is required.

If I wear blaze orange, then I can hunt with lead (not that I want to).

Thats a new one.

Just a guess, but I would think shooting doves, would carry the same rules as hunting pheasants. Just a guess at this time.
But, maybe its different since its a migratory bird.
I better figure it out, cuz I am gonna run around after them.

Check out the regulation book. I think page 51 has a good summary of the regs.

Like ba$$ said, doves are migratory birds, so the regs are different than other upland hunting. Blaze is not required. The lead vs steel issue will be based on where you hunt.

A new learning curve. Adjusting to the regs will be easier than adjusting one's lead.
