Overview

Dove hunting draws thousands of Texans to the field each year for the kickoff of the annual fall hunting season. Many hunters go to the extra effort of establishing crops in an attempt to create the ideal dove hunting location. However, because it is the hunter who is responsible for determining whether a field has been seeded legally, hunters need to know and make sure the areas they hunt are in accordance with Texas State and Federal laws prohibiting baiting. Hunters can also benefit from understanding ways that seedbearing crops can be legally planted to attract doves. (4 pages)
