Show SEPTEMBER 15, 1987 L, Dove limit is reduced to 10 because of decline of birds By JAY ROBERSON Upland Game Coordinator Dove hunters could get caught with their pants down (be pleasantly surprised) when the hunt opens this year. The bag limit has been reduced to 10. For the last five years, the bag limit was 15. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) believes there has been a decline in dove populations in the western United States. In Utah, the Division of Wildlife Resources is aware of the significant decline in the dove index. The causes for the apparent decline consist of a loss of nesting habitat and agricultural changes that result in reduction of food sources. Depending upon cropping practices used by farmers, dove populations are generally thought to be positively associated with the amount of residual from wheat, barley, oats and corn harvests. Waste grain and weed seed associated with these crops are feed for doves. Utah's wheat production in six of the top dove hunting counties has declined. Mortality factors such as disease, pesticides and overhunting on wintering areas may also be contributing to the decline. Biologists are searching for methods to measure the extent of these possible problems. The FWS states that exact causes for declining dove populations have not been identified satisfactorily, but the only immediate management tool available is control of hunting regulations. The FWS recommended a five to 0 day delay in season opening or a reduction in bag limits and season lengths. Instead, the Migratory Upland Game Bird Technical Committee agreed to call-cou- limits 30-d- ay 45-da- 30-da- 1 ds Fall quarter art classes at the vis Art Center will beof Sept. 21, and regweek the gin istration is currently underway.
