(Submitted photo) Greenwood youngsters, from left, Maddox Wuestenhoefer, Boston Shaw and Bryar Bowen, enjoy a dove hunting outing last year. Dove hunting is a great way to get young hunters involved in the outdoors.
The start of dove season will be a little different this year in the Magnolia State.
Since the season for the migratory birds can’t open until Labor Day, state hunters won’t get the traditional extended weekend that usually runs from Saturday until Monday. Some will have to change their plans this year.
