DOVE SEASON REMINDER: KNOW YOUR TARGET
Know your target. Know what’s beyond it.
Aim for the dove…not the line.
As dove season begins, GoSEMO Fiber and SEMO Electric Cooperative would like to remind everyone to hunt safely and responsibly.
Please DO NOT shoot at fiber or electric service lines, equipment, or other utility infrastructure.
A single shot can cause much more than property damage. It can interrupt electric, internet and phone services, including communications relied upon by public safety and government agencies.
Damage to utility infrastructure can also result in serious criminal charges and significant repair costs.
*Missouri Revised Statutes § 569.117, effective August 28, 2026, says that when damage to a critical infrastructure facility causes an “interruption, impairment, or degradation of service,” the offense is a Class C felony regardless of the value of the damage.
