Texas Dove Hunting with First Shot Outfitters
Treat your clients, friends and family to the finest Dove Hunting Experience around. Here at First Shot Outfitters we pride ourselves on providing the most active dove fields, delicious home cooked meals, outstanding accommodations and unparalleled customer service. Most of our dove hunts take place in the surrounding areas of Coleman, Bangs, Abilene, and San Angelo on fields of sunflowers, milo and wheat where native white-wing doves flourish and mourning doves make for a fast and furious hunt.
Dove Hunting Packages
Most Texas dove hunting packages consist of 3 days & 2 nights but we can customize any package upon request. We like to keep groups manageable to assure that every hunter has a successful and enjoyable hunt. There is no minimum but groups of 10 or more hunters can have the lodge exclusively. The fully outfitted dove hunting package includes lodging, meals and guides. If the Fully Outfitted package doesn't fit your needs we also offer unguided day dove hunts.

Dove Hunting License Requirements
Laws are always changing so please be sure to check the Texas Parks & Wildlife website for yourself to be sure you have everything you need to be within Law. But as of September 2023, this is the information we know you need to be within the law.
- For dove hunting, you must have a plug in your gun and your gun should only be able to hold three shells at a time. This is always checked by the game warden and tickets will be given if not compliant.
- You must have a Texas hunting license with the added endorsement of a migratory bird stamp plus you also must have HIP certification.
- You must have hunter's education. We have seen many receive tickets for not having this.
- Also, please be sure that you arrive at the lodge with your hunting license, as we do not provide a Hunting License or sell hunting licenses.
