Virginia Sets Dove
And Rail Seasons
Virginia hunters will get a little earlier crack at doves this year with a season set to open September 7, reports Game Commission Executive Director Chester F. Phelps. The first portion of this split dove season will-end November 2, and the second portion will extend from December 16 through December 28. The daily bag limit will remain at 12, and shooting will be limited to hours between noon and sunset, prevailing time, whether it be daylight saving or standard. The extra week at the start will allow hunters to be afield when the greatest number of birds are present, but harvested fields necessary for good shooting will be scarce.
Rail season will be open September 6, coincident with unusually high tides along the Virginia coast, and close November 14. A bag limit of 15 clapper or king rails daily is unchanged from last year, but the daily limit on sora and Virginia rails was raised from 15 to 25 daily.
Woodcock and snipe seasons will open November 18 with most other hunting seasons. Snipe season will end January 6, and woodcock season will extend through January 21. Bag limits are 8 snipe and 5 woodcock daily. Shooting hours on all species except doves are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset each day. Gallinule season dates and limits will be set in August to conform with seasons for other waterfowl as was done last year.
