Texas dove season is officially here, and if you’ve been on the fence about getting into the field, this is your year.

Dove hunting is one of the absolute best ways to introduce yourself to the hunting community—it's fast-paced, social, and accessible.

But before you load up, you need to know your zones and regulations.
​We’ve put together this quick-reference map for the 2026-2027 season so you can hunt smart and hunt legal.

Pay attention to your zone—whether you're in the North, Central, or South region, the season dates shift slightly.
Remember, legal shooting hours for all zones are exactly one-half hour before sunrise to sunset.

Keep your daily bag limit to 15 aggregate, with a maximum of two white-tipped doves.

Save this post, verify your specific county at tpwd.texas.gov, and let's get after it.

Who is hitting the field this weekend? Drop your Zone (North, Central, or South) in the comments! 📍

​

So you’ve got your gear, your license, and you know your zone—now what?

For new hunters, the hardest part of the game isn't taking the shot; it's knowing what you're looking at.

Bird identification is a non-negotiable responsibility.

​To make it easy, we built this cheat sheet.
You are good to go on Mourning Doves, White-Winged Doves, White-Tipped Doves, and the invasive Ring-Necked (Eurasian Collared) Dove.

But you need to hold your fire if you spot an Inca Dove, Common Ground Dove, Band-Tailed Pigeon, or Red-Billed Pigeon, as these are strictly protected.
Study those tail feathers and wing stripes before you head out.

Our golden rule for the field: "When in doubt, don't shoot it out!".

It's all about respect for the wildlife and the law.

Getting ready for your first Texas dove season? 🌾

Welcome to the field!
Before you head out, the most important step is knowing your birds.

In Texas, it is legal to hunt Mourning, White-winged, and Eared doves.

However, species like the Inca Dove, Common Ground-Dove, Band-Tailed Pigeon, and Red-Billed Pigeon are strictly protected and are NOT legal to shoot.

​The golden rule for any hunter, especially if you're just starting out: "When in doubt, don't shoot it out!" Take your time, learn the markings, and enjoy the tradition responsibly.

Let us know below—are you hitting the field for the first time this year? 👇

​Preparation is the key to a great hunt!

🗺️ Texas is huge, so our dove season is broken up into North, Central, and South zones with specific dates for the 2026-2027 season.

​Whether you're a seasoned pro or picking up a shotgun for the first time, make sure to check the specific dates for your zone.

Remember, you must adhere to legal hunting hours, and the daily bag limit is 15 in the aggregate.

Dove season is both a privilege and a responsibility—let's make it a safe, successful season for everyone out there!

​What zone will you be hunting in this year?
Let us know in the comments!

​

Every time you step into the field, you're taking part in a legacy that goes back over a century. 🌅

​Texas dove season has a rich history of conservation and community, starting with early advocacy back in the 1880s.

It's incredible to see how milestones like the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the creation of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) in 1963 shaped the sustainable seasons we enjoy today.

To all the newcomers joining us: today's science-based limits ensure this renewable natural resource is here to stay.

Here's to respecting the past and conserving our wildlife for the future!
