September 5 was picked as opening day for the 1970 dove season, the first segment of which will extend through October 31, reports Game Commission Executive Director Chester F. Phelps. The Labor Day weekend opener will give many Virginia nunters a double crack at the gray speedsters. The second half of the split season will run from December 21 through January 2 to take in the Christmas and New Year holidays. The bag limit will remain at 18 birds per day with a possession limit of 36. Shooting is allowed only from noon until sunset each day, prevailing time.
Woodcock and snipe seasons will run concurrently from November 16 through 19. This is a 15 day extension of the snipe season over that offered last year. Bag limits are 5 woodcock and 8 snipe daily with twice that many allowed in possession. Shooting hours are from one-half hour before sunrise until sunset on all other migratory species except dove.
Virginia rail hunters will have a 70 day season beginning with high tides on September 10 and continuing through November 18. The bag limit again will be 15 clapper and king rails counted together, plus 25 sora and Virginia rails per day. Hunters are allowed 5 or more clapper and king rails in possession above the dally limit.
