Mourning Dove can get pretty big....White Wing Dove are what you really try to shoot. Eurasion Dove are funny......they aren't in a whole lot of places and actually don't count as a game bird. (The limit for the two hunts that you can do per day during season in Texas is 15 birds) So basically if you shoot 3 White Wings and 20 Eurasions, you would technically only have 3 Dove that counted towards your limit.
Eurasions are right on the brink of actually not being considered a Dove....but more in the Pigeon family. They are damn big though and good to eat.
