Dove season in California has two opening days, and the first one is coming up soon. Mourning dove, white-winged dove, spotted dove, and ringed turtle dove hunting seasons will run from Thursday, September 1 through Thursday, September 15, and Saturday, November 12 through Monday, December 26, respectively. Many consider September 1 to be the unofficial beginning of California's hunting seasons, making the dove opener a highly anticipated event. There is a daily bag restriction of 15 for both mourning and white-winged doves, with a maximum of 10 white-winged doves allowed.
