Why people wait until the last minute to get their bows worked on anticipating hunting opening day?

do a study on the cost of hunting. Get 250 or so folks on here to give you the info on there season- how far they drive? what the lease cost? how many trips? how much they feed? ect. ect.

I would like to know if the collard eurasian dove is going to have a negative effect on the native dove and whitewing populations long term.

I think they are going to be the next wild pigs of the sky.

Ditto on this. Lived in Montgomery all my life until moving to Tuscaloosa in 2007. In Montgomery we had a seemingly ever increasing population of the Eurasian Doves from the 1990's I guess. They are aggressive and I finally quit feeding mourning doves in the back yard because of them.

However, I do not see as many Eurasians in Tuscaloosa and I wonder if it because I am in a different plant hardiness zone. I will attach a map which shows Tuscaloosa on the edge of Zones 7 and 8. As a reference I believe Zone 8 is about the limit for growing a Live Oak. I guess this may mean I am OK in Tuscaloosa but need to bring some birdshot if I come to South Texas. Believe I am correct in saying there is still no Closed Season in Alabama on them. KAE
p.s. Artos, how do they taste?

A broad topic would be easier to research and can create a lot of filler if it needs to be a long paper.

[Bow-TechAggie]

I wrote my paper on the effects of fire ants on the quail population.

The ones listed above sound pretty good:

Drought effects on fawn survival

Wild fire effects on the growth in forested areas and how the restriction of wildfires has changed the type of flora and fauna that thrive in those areas.
