Texas dove hunting season opening

Overview

The Texas dove hunting season is scheduled to open statewide on September 1, 2026. Unlike previous years that utilized different hunting zones, the entire state will share a single opening day.

Biologists from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department indicate that mourning dove and white-winged dove populations are near record highs, which they attribute to significant rainfall during the spring. Texas typically accounts for approximately 30% of the nation’s dove hunters and total dove harvest.
