Dove hunting is the #1 cause of hunting incidents in Texas. Please remember to watch your zones of fire carefully so we can continue to have great moments with family and friends. Remember these tips:
-Establish safe zones of fire before the hunt
-Keep a sharp eye out for hunters retrieving fallen game
-When in doubt, don’t take the shot
Getting home safe from the hunt is our first priority! Keep em’ safe Texas.
