Doves

Season: 10/29/2004-2/28/2005
Legal Bag: 15 per day, 45 in possession.

You can be certain that your dove hunting at Shamrock Safaris will be enjoyable, due to the fact that all shooting is over feed areas of millet, winter wheat, and sunflowers, which are specifically planted for this purpose.

Good populations in this area mean that Shamrock Safaris is THE place to do your fall dove hunting.

The Details:

Season... Early September through late October. (Check with Texas Dept. of Parks and Wildlife, 1-800-895-4248, for specifics.)

Bag Limit: 15 Birds per day. Possession Limit: 30. (Note: No more than 2 birds per day and 4 birds in posession may be white tipped doves. White tipped doves also count against the total bird count of 15.)

Licensing... All hunters must be licensed through the Texas Dept. of Parks and Wildlife. Your application for a hunt at Shamrock Safaris contains all information needed for us to get your license for you. Just let us know, or you can arrange it yourself from the number above. (Non-residents under 17 years of age are designated as residents for hunting license purposes.)

All hunters born after 1-1-71 MUST have a valid hunter safety certificate.

Shooting hours... One half hour before sunrise until sunset. No night shooting. (See Texas Dept. of Parks and Wildlife for complete rules and details.)

What you Get...Your Hunt:

Day 1 (Not included in Hunt Cost): Arrival. You may either drive in or Shamrock Safaris is an easy drive from Amarillo International Airport. If you choose to fly in, rental cars are available at the airport or we offer limousine pickups. (Call for details). That evening, enjoy a hearty, home cooked dinner, as part of your package.

Days 2, 3, 4 (or more, if you wish): Wake before daybreak to a light continental-style breakfast, then free transportation to the shooting stands. Hunt until approximately 10:30 when the game activity lessens, then back to the lodge for a hearty breakfast buffet (Or, if you wish, pack a lunch and hunt all day.) Around 3:00 it's back to your shooting area for more hunting. At sundown, we bring you back to the lodge for a home cooked dinner. After that, you can enjoy satellite TV in our common area and share the day's stories with your friends, old and new.

Last day: All good things must come to an end, and so does a Shamrock Safaris Hunt. You may either leave after hunting or you may stay over and leave in the morning. Again, limo service is available to Amarillo International Airport.
