Will LA ever open a dove season in August? This no dove hunting on labor day weekend BS that rolls around every few years if for the birds.
No.
No-one is allowed to open the dove season in August, just like we can't shoot ducks earlier than the last Saturday in September or shoot Canada geese later than January 31 or shoot snipe later than the last day in February. Those are the federal framework regulations. Dove season can open no earlier than Septemeber 1rst.
If you are unhappy that there is no dove hunting over Labor Day weekend, then the complaint shouldn't be that LDWF won't open the dove season in August (we can't). It should be that LDWF decided to not open the season on a Sunday in favor of opening the following Saturday. That was the functional choice. I don't make recommendations on the dove seasons, but I know a lot of thought went into that particular decision.

Its a lose lose situation with the dove season imo.
Sucks opening up on a Sunday at 2 pm in Mississippi.
But it also suck losing out on Labor day hunting in Louisiana.
Unless the Feds change, the states will run into this issue every few years

Gotcha. When Land Mass and Texas people were talking about their season opening on Labor day weekend I assumed it was on Saturday, not Sunday.

I would prefer the Sunday opening myself. Preferably at daylight as opposed to noon. Keep that in mind next time there is a screwed up Labor day year. Thanks Larry, you're the best.

Could you shed some light on dove season always opening after noon? I am sure there is a reason for it, I have just never heard it and am genuinely curious. I rarely dove hunt, so it doesn't really affect me, I just like to know things.
