This isn't your typical quick morning shoot – we're talking daylight to dark hunting that gives you maximum time in the field. Burkett sits right in the sweet spot of the Central Flyway, making it a natural magnet for mourning doves during their seasonal movements. The terrain here is perfect dove country with a mix of agricultural fields, stock tanks, and roosting areas that keep birds moving all day long. You'll be hunting from strategically placed blinds and field positions that our guides have scouted and refined over years of guiding hunters. The morning flight typically starts strong about thirty minutes before sunrise, then you'll see steady action throughout the day as birds move between feeding and watering areas. The evening flight can be absolutely wild as doves pour back into roosting areas. With our large capacity setup, we can handle groups of all sizes while ensuring everyone gets prime shooting opportunities.
Dove hunting is all about reading flight patterns and positioning yourself where the birds want to be. In the Burkett area, we're working with classic Texas terrain – rolling hills dotted with mesquite, agricultural fields full of sunflower and milo, and scattered stock ponds that act like magnets for thirsty doves. The key to success here is understanding how doves use this landscape. They'll fly the same routes day after day, following fence lines, creek beds, and field edges as they move between food, water, and cover. Our guides know these flight patterns like the back of their hand and will position you accordingly. You'll want to bring your favorite shotgun – most hunters prefer 20 or 12 gauge with modified or improved cylinder chokes. Pack plenty of shells because when the action heats up, you'll burn through ammo fast. The shots come quick and at all angles, so this hunt is perfect for sharpening your wing shooting skills. The relatively open terrain means you'll get plenty of opportunities for passing shots and crossers that really test your abilities.
Mourning doves are the star of the show here in Burkett, and these birds will give you a real education in wing shooting. Don't let their size fool you – mourning doves are some of the most challenging targets you'll ever face. They're incredibly fast fliers, capable of reaching speeds over 55 mph, and they've got an uncanny ability to change direction just as you're pulling the trigger. What makes them so exciting to hunt is their unpredictability. One minute they're flying straight and level, the next they're diving, weaving, or making sharp turns that'll have you scratching your head. During peak season in September and October, you'll see incredible numbers as northern birds join up with local populations. The morning flights tend to be more predictable as birds head out to feeding areas, but the evening return can be absolutely chaotic with doves coming from every direction. These birds are also excellent table fare – their breast meat is tender and flavorful, making them a favorite among hunters who appreciate good eating. The daily bag limit in Texas is generous, giving you plenty of opportunities to fill your limit while honing your shooting skills. What really gets hunters excited about dove hunting is the fast-paced action. Unlike big game hunting where you might wait hours for a single shot opportunity, dove hunting delivers constant action that keeps your adrenaline pumping all day long.
At $125 per hunter for a full day of guided action, this dove hunt represents some of the best value you'll find in Texas hunting. We're talking about professional guiding, prime hunting locations, and a full day of shooting opportunities during the height of dove season.

The large group capacity makes it ideal for corporate outings, hunting clubs, or multi-generational family hunts.
