VSC Recommends Early Mourning Dove Season in Texas
The Valley Sportsmen Club in Harlingen urged the Texas Game and Fish Commission to open the mourning dove season earlier, on the last day of the whitewing season or September 16 if no whitewings, and run through the current season. Members argued an earlier start would boost harvest as new northern birds arrive and late-season hunting yields few kills.
