Texas has been called the 'dove-hunting-est' state in the union, and the upcoming season will testify to that.
According to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department surveys, mourning dove numbers are up a healthy 21 percent, and whitewinged doves are at the highest numbers ever recorded in Texas: 12.8 million.
Dove season opens on Sunday, Sept.1 in the North and Central Zones, and the South Zone's Special White-Winged Dove Days also start on Sept.1. For all regulation information, refer to the updated Outdoor Annual online or the app.
