Central Texas Dove Hunts
This is a fun, quick dove hunt over a weekend, with lodging, food and two days of dove hunting. They even throw in a sporting clays shoot for you.
A central Texas dove hunt at its finest with some of the most beautiful sunsets you will ever see. Be prepared for two evening dove hunts over native sunflower fields located in Brown and Coleman Counties. Eat some of the finest meals you will be talking about for weeks to come. Enjoy visiting with other hunters from all over while watching the games on the big screen or playing cards or domino’s while enjoying cocktails at the bar.
A guide and a guides helper provided for each 20-25 person group. Once you arrive at the field clients are placed in a trailer to be taken around the field to be placed in a predetermined spot to give the clients the best possible opportunity to harvest doves.
