Dove Hunting near South Padre Island
Make a vacation of it — stay on the island, hunt the mainland fields, and enjoy the best of both.
Mac's Dove Hunts runs action packed dove hunts on managed agricultural fields a short drive from South Padre Island, TX (Cameron County). We hunt white-winged and mourning dove during the Texas South Zone season, which opens September 1, 2026, with morning and evening hunts for groups, families, and first-time hunters. To book, see Book a Hunt or call (956) 330-9537.
South Padre Island is the Valley's beach getaway, and it's a perfect home base for a dove hunting trip. You stay on the island with the family, then make the short drive to the mainland for a morning or evening hunt on managed fields.
Our managed sunflower fields in the mainland farm country west of the causeway are prime dove habitat, holding plenty of white-winged and mourning dove. It's the rare trip where the hunters and the non-hunters in the group both come home happy.
