Dove season opens this Friday Hunters statewide can cel ebrate the beginning of dove season at noon Saturday, Sept. 5. Long-awaited opening day is traditionally considered the beginning of fall hunting sea son, and with the numerous wildlife management area hunts scheduled, it is the per fect opportunity to introduce children and grandchildren to the sport. The official 2009-2010 dove seasons are Sept. 5-20, Oct. 10-18, and Nov. 26 - Jan. 9. Shooting hours are noon until sunset on opening day (Sept. 5) of the first season and one- half hour before sunrise to sun set for the remaining two sea sons. Sunrise and sunset times for each day are found in the 2009-2010 Georgia Hunting Seasons and Regulations guide or online at www.georgiawildlife.com . The daily bag limit is 15 doves per hunter. Additionally, there have been some reports of white-winged doves in Georgia. White-winged doves may be harvested, but count to ward the daily bag limit of 15. Any autoloading or other re peating shotgun must be plugged to hold no more than three shotshells while hunting doves. As always, hunters must obtain permission from landowners before hunting on private property and please re spect the land by cleaning up spent shells, leaving gates the way they were found and re moving all trash. Dove hunters 16 years of age and older must possess a Geor gia hunting license and a free Migratory Bird Harvest Infor mation Program Permit (HIP Permit). Those hunting Wild life Management Areas (WMA) also must possess a WMA license. Hunters may purchase licenses at more than 600 license agent locations, by phone at 1-800-366-2661 or online at www.georgia- wildlife.com . For more information on dove hunting rules and regu lations, public dove fields and conditions, or adult/child dove hunts, hunters should review the 2009-2010 Georgia Hunt ing Seasons and Regulations guide, available at www.gohuntgeorgia.com or at any Wildlife Resources Divi sion Game Management of fice. Updated and accurate har vest rate estimates facilitate the successful management of doves.

We Live Between Two Poles There is an old Jewish custom (attributed to the 19th century Rabbi, Simcha Bunim) of carrying two slips of paper around, one in each pocket, with a different message on each slip of paper. On the one slip of paper is written, “The entire universe was created just for me.” And, on the other is written, “I am but dust and ashes.” There is surely much wisdom in this. On the one hand, God has made all of us in His image, and loves us deeply and has veritably created the universe for us. On the other hand, we are short-lived creatures who will perish like everything else. Catholics are told on Ash Wednes-day to “Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.” Ash Wednes-day marks the beginning of Lent, a season which ends with the joyous celebration of Easter, which essentially celebrates the fact that Jesus has risen. By extension, we as the church, will also rise from the ashes. We do well to always keep in mind that we live between the poles of finitude and eternity. Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. R.S.V. Genesis 18:27 This could be your AD SPACE!
