The Story of The Mourning Dove (1959)

sad ending

"The Story of The Mourning Dove and How to Properly Shoot Them" should be the title. What a sick way to pass the time.

Thanks for posting this for posterity. Great info!

What a wonderful documentary! I have always loved Mourning Doves and now I have learned even more about them! Thank you so much for posting this video!

damn you!! how you do that !

superb great

Thanks for posting this video.

I am looking g for a bird often featured (sound) on the TV show "All Saints". It has a very throaty cry, sort of like when DR. puts that wooden stick in your mouth and tells you to say aaaahhhhh! Only 10.000 times louder and very annoying. The All Saints show is made in Australia. Can anyone help me?

I hate hunters

kill the man who killed that poor mourning dove

I'm sad they don't make documentaries like this anymore; actually crying while writing this! 😭

This is not what I was looking for :(

No better way to spend a lovely morning than out on a hunt. The sweetest sight in nature is dead and dying birds strewn about the landscape.

My, my. People hunting.
And the biologist smoking in his office as well.
Snowflakes everywhere are melting.

The guy has skills shooting a high flying bird. Good start.

Im here because i found a nest outside on my balcony in San Marcos tx. The babies finally hatched and i was curious when they feed them. This was so useful and i once found another bird outside my door, and now i know it was the mother switching places with the male.

doves, birds of love

Wonderful documentary on the life of mourning doves ! But to hunt them ? Appalling ! Horrible !

I don't know or how to react on anyone's opinions, but this is my favorite bird ,American passenger pigeons were scattered around all over north America once outnumbered. They were totally instinct so morning doves are very close related to American passenger pigeons. Perhaps one day mourning doves will be extinct as well if we don't protect them by over hunting them. In Canada they are not hunted ,and in some parts of United states it's been hunted a lot .Please save the beautiful gorgeous peaceful bird mourning doves.

This took a real 1959 turn!

"323 will wear this band for the rest of his life" 323: Gee thanks.

Wonderful video. I wish they still made them like this. Just calm talk based on facts. No profanity, no political agenda, no overdramatized narration. I’m thankful to have happened upon this. I love Doves 🕊 ❤️

Just for the pleasure of killing an animal we provide a license to some weird people. It’s a beautiful video but certainly a sad one.

I'm only okay for hunting for food. But I love mourning doves so I'm biased. T_T it hurts me.... why not hunt pigeons instead? lmao jk.

I had a mourning nest in my front yard but i think thr hawk got them ... ghid year they are in my back yard nesting ...

yeah... lets KILL them... f this video...

I have one that regularly visits my balcony. A welcome guest!

Hardly worth it, a tiny bit of meat for the expense of a shotgun shell, not to mention spreading lead in the surrounding environment.
