Colorado · MigratoryMourning dove

CPW's own species page states plainly that mourning dove is “common across Colorado,” and — checked directly against a current hunting guide's own FAQ — the state publishes no dove zone map and runs a single statewide season with no regional bag-limit or date split. That said, the claim doesn't hold up as fully undifferentiated once checked against where hunters and public-land managers actually concentrate dove effort: independent hunting-guide sourcing consistently names the Eastern Plains — the agricultural counties east of I-25, and specifically the South Platte, Arkansas, and Republican River corridors — as producing Colorado's best dove hunting, and names a consistent short list of state wildlife areas there as the state's best public dove access, with a single, geographically separate anchor in the San Luis Valley (Alamosa National Wildlife Refuge). This is an access/habitat-concentration signal from secondary hunting-press sourcing, not an agency density claim — CPW itself does not rank regions against each other.
