Odd Arizona dove band tale and pheasant brood stock plans
A New York hunter recovered a banded white-winged dove near Demarest New Jersey. The bird had been released near Peoria Arizona in 1957, making the 11 year life span and 3000 mile eastward recovery notable. Arizona Game and Fish plans to use Afghan whitewing pheasants from New Mexico as brood stock at Magma Shooting Preserve for future licensee investigations. The 1969 deer season will open on the last Friday in October with seasons set by the Commission in May. Printing of the annual hunting map will follow the May meeting in Phoenix.
