The Opener
Hunting dove in Texas is a time-honored tradition. It’s the kickoff of a hunter’s year, when summer gives way and fall is around the corner.
A time for community and celebration in the field.
The Fields
Our dove fields sit between Austin and San Antonio in San Marcos, right in the migration corridor.
Early season we hunt mornings and evenings; late season, evenings. We cap each hunt at 20 guns so the fields stay rested and no one is crowded.

Spots go quickly once the season opens. Real-time availability is on the booking page.
All bookings are final; we don’t offer refunds on dove hunts. If you need to cancel, we may offer a credit. Dove are migratory and we can’t control their presence. After a slow hunt we may offer a discount or a second hunt.
