About Your Trip

There’s nothing quite like a Texas dove opener—the heat rolling off the mesquite, the distant hum of cicadas, and the sudden flash of wings overhead. This hunt puts you right in the middle of it all, on private land outside Richland Springs, where you'll post up along sunflower fields and tree lines as mourning and white-winged doves pour in low and fast. Whether you're an experienced wingshooter or a first-timer, this is the kind of hunt that brings people back year after year.

With several well-scouted fields in the San Saba, Brady, and Brownwood areas, the setup is tailored to maximize your time in the action. You’ll meet at the ranch gate, get the lowdown from your guide Gunner, and head into the field for an afternoon shoot that’s all about keeping your barrel warm and your cooler full. Youth hunters are welcome—discounted for ages 11–17, and free for 10 and under—making this a great trip for families looking to pass on the tradition.

Hotels are available nearby, but don’t be surprised if you spend the evening around a tailgate swapping stories until the stars come out. Bring your own gear, shotgun, shells, and plenty of water. This isn’t a high-frills lodge hunt—it’s the kind of hunt where the birds fly hard, the conversation flows easy, and the experience sticks with you long after you’ve limited out.
