Do you get them back after a release? Are they like Pigeons that return? I'm just curious how that works.

I have been doing g dove releases since 2004. My birds are capable of returning home from around 300 miles from Arlington Washington. I like to keep my travel distance to less then a hundred miles. Further then that I will try to give a reference to someone else who lives closer to the dove release site. The furthest dove release I have done is for my son & daughter in law twelve years ago back in Upstate New York when they got married. I rented birds from some one back there. I did a twelve bird release in Eugene Oregon for a funeral and rented birds from that area for that release.
I have used my birds for a release in Aberdean - Cosmopolis area for a funeral. Lots of releases from Tumwater north to Bellingham. I have a twelve bird release for a college graduation in Lake Stevens on August 7th and a two bird release to do for a wedding real close to home up in the Cisco Heights are on September 18th.
I just lost one of my original birds I raised a couple of years ago from old age that I still used for shorter distance releases. Seventeen years old. I just bought three long distance white race birds to a blend into my birds to add new blood into the gene pool. I also bought a pair of pure black race birds to start a line of pure black birds for special releases. I will buy a couple more pairs of black birds and get a flying kit of them for next years.
Prices start out at $225 for two birds. Four birds $325 Twelve birds $450 Eighteen birds $650. Then $1 a mile one way for distances over 25 miles from the loft.
It's been a lot of fun and got to see how people from different cultures use the doves for releases.

I don't know why.. But now I want to add a dove release to all my social venues!
** Would having a release at the New Years Shoot be a bad idea? **

$6 a bird
I used to hunt doves on the mountains. Hard as hell to get them close. So cost wise a lot cheaper at $6
