GAME AND FISH NEWS July 20, 2020 2020-21 dove, band-tailed pigeon regulations available online Dove season opens Sept. 1 PHOENIX — The Arizona Game and Fish Department has posted the 2020-21 Arizona Dove and Band-tailed Pigeon Regulations online at www.azgfd.com/Hunting/Regulations. The regulations have been produced in a downloadable format that hunters will find handy in the field. The color brochure is easy to read and features important hunting information, such as season dates, daily bag and possession limits, and legal requirements, at a glance. All hunters 18 and older must possess a valid Arizona hunting license, as well as a migratory bird stamp for the 2020-21 season — both of which can be purchased online now at www.azgfd.com/license/. A youth combination hunt/fish license (for youth hunters 10 to 17) is only $5 and includes a migratory bird stamp. For everything else “dove,” visit www.azgfd.gov/dove. Dove hunters play an important role in conservation. Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program (WSFR) funds are comprised of excise taxes collected on the sale of hunting and fishing equipment (including 11 percent on ammunition), the benefit of which comes right back to Arizona for habitat improvements, shooting ranges, boating access and more.
