This state's classification carries no date range for the species.
Legal game bird under HAR §13-122-6, regulated through Hawaii's state hunting license + Game Bird Stamp system (Hawaii does not participate in the federal HIP program). DOFAW's 2026-2027 season announcement not yet published as of 2026-08-18. 2025-26 reference (labeled as prior-year only, not this cycle's dates): general game bird season opened Nov 1, 2025, but 'to comply with federal mandates, including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act,' mourning dove closed early on Jan 11, 2026 — two full weekends before the rest of the game bird complex (which ran through Jan 25, 2026). Method-of-take restricted to shotguns no larger than 10-gauge holding max 3 shells with BB-or-smaller shot, or bow and arrow; no live decoys; one fully-feathered wing must remain attached during transport. Re-checked live 2026-08-18 (barred-dove check covers the whole state, since DOFAW issues one combined game-bird season announcement for all species): still not published. DOFAW's last 5 years of announcements all came out in October, so this isn't overdue yet — re-check in/after October 2026 rather than re-researching each species separately before then. Re-checked 2026-08-19: still not published (dlnr.hawaii.gov direct WebFetch blocked by this environment's egress policy tonight; WebSearch found no 2026-27 combined announcement -- only the 2025-26 archive and unrelated turkey/stamp releases turned up; one search result surfaced specific-looking 2026-27 dates with no dated primary source behind them, treated as unverified/unusable per no-fabrication rule). Re-checked 2026-08-20: still not published (dlnr.hawaii.gov, WebSearch-surfaced third-party mirrors, and direct WebFetch all blocked/unavailable via this environment's egress policy tonight, same as 2026-08-19; WebSearch found no 2026-27 combined game-bird announcement -- only the 2025-26 archive, unrelated turkey-season and stamp-contest releases turned up; still consistent with DOFAW's October-publication pattern, not overdue).
Researched independently from the separate, plan-3-tracked season-announcement blocker (a distinct concern: hunting dates/regs, not population monitoring). No DOFAW population-survey/forecast program was found, and -- unlike Idaho/Illinois/Indiana/Iowa's dove combos -- no federal backstop applies either: Hawaii does not participate in the federal Harvest Information Program (confirmed via this state-species record's own classification note and independently re-verified this pass), and the USFWS Mourning Dove Population Status report covers only the three continental management units (Eastern/Central/Western); Hawaii is not a separate unit and is not covered. No governing population/forecast source of any kind -- state or federal -- applies to Hawaii mourning dove.
