What the number 2 means is that hunters can possess 2 bag limits or 20 birds after the first day of the season. It does not mean that a hunter can possess only 2 birds. The term possession limit has been defined by the Utah Legislature as, "the number of bag limits one individual may legally possess. Please refer to page 1 ofthe 1997-9- 8 Utah Upland Game Proclamation for weeds. Although not required by law, its a good idea to wear hunter orange during the first week of the mourning dove hunt. Ball caps and vests in hunter orange help to tremendously cut down on the chance of a firearms accident while afield with many oth- er hunters.

For best success hunters should spend time in the coniferous forests of southern Utah for this native migrant. Although most common in woodlands from the Pine Valley Mountains in the west to the LaSal and Blue Mountains in the east, scattered sightings ofthese birds hint they may be pioneering into preferred habitats in the central part of Utah.

Pigeons prefer foods such as pine buds, acorns, berries, seeds and some pine needles. Hunters can intercept pigeons on their flight paths. Pigeon hunters are required to visit any Division office and pick up a free permit prior to hunting bandtails. The permit allows Division biologists to contact pigeon hunters and collect more information about Utahs d pigeon population. Pigeon hunters who take birds are encouraged to clip and save a wing from each bird. Wings can k be put in a bag and placed in the freezer. Bandtail hunters will be contacted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and provided with envelopes in which to mail wings in. Wings from pigeons help biologists determine sex and age structures, as well as reproductive successes in the population of band-taile- d pigeons.
