Hunting:
Join us for a coastal Texas dove hunt! We will be hunting on a Saturday afternoon near Winnie, TX on a private field leased through a local outfitter.
As part of our discounted agreement for youth hunters, adults will not shoot birds to fill limits for the youth. We will observe all applicable laws and regulations and pick up our spent shells. Plan to clean your own birds. The exact location of the field will be provided the week before the hunt.
Lunch:
We will be meeting at the field for a tailgate lunch, safety briefing, and devotion prior to the hunt. Lunch will be provided for all participants. Some drinks will be provided with the meal, but it is recommended that participants bring their own drinks for in the field. Alcohol will not be allowed prior to or during the hunt.
Rules:
- Perfect people are not allowed. Come as you are, no pretending.
- Alcohol will not be allowed prior to or during the hunt but may be consumed in moderation after all firearms are put away.
- Please helps us keep the environment kid-friendly by limiting profanity.
