Central Texas Guided Dove Hunts

Location: Gause, Texas

Season: September 1 – September 29 & December 15 – January 14

Experience Classic Texas Dove Hunting

Few hunts capture the tradition of Texas hunting quite like a morning dove shoot. Texas Blaze Outfitters offers fast-paced Central Texas dove hunts over productive fields where hunters can expect steady action throughout the morning.

Hunters are positioned along tree lines and fence rows with mojo decoys drawing birds into range while experienced guides manage the hunt and retrieve birds with trained dogs.

Expect plenty of shooting opportunities as flocks of mourning and ring-neck doves move across the fields.
