Hunting:
Join us for a coastal Texas dove hunt! We will hunt on Saturday, October 28, 2023 (Noon until after Sunset) in a field near Winnie, TX.
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 meet at the field for a tailgate lunch, safety briefing, and devotion before 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 while 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.
