South Zone - Texas Dove Hunters Association

The Texas Dove Hunters Association operates as a membership organization dedicated to connecting hunters with legitimate outfitters across all three hunting zones in Texas. The South Zone covers the most productive white-wing and mourning dove territory—everything from the Rio Grande Valley down through the classic South Texas brush country.

• •80+ verified South Zone outfitters listed and maintained
• •Membership benefits: Texas Dove Hunters Magazine (2 issues/year), membership card, decal, season date card, and monthly eNewsletters
• •Hunt options: Day leases, multi-day packages, season-long access, corporate hunts, and family outings
• •Lodging: Many outfitters offer meals and accommodations

The South Zone directory includes major operations like:

Key advantage: TDHA maintains this directory and verifies outfitters, but maintains no formal endorsement relationships. They're a clearinghouse, not a booking agent—you contact outfitters directly.

Most South Zone properties plant specifically for dove attraction: - Black oil sunflowers (white-wing magnet) - Milo and sesame - Native sunflowers and croton - Irrigated fields for consistent bird movement

Outfitters range from small family operations (Seco Creek, Seal Farms) to major ranches (TEXASMADEoutfitters with 12,000+ acres across multiple zones).

TDHA's real value is connecting you to a vetted network rather than cold-calling random ranches. Membership includes magazine content covering hunting strategy, field conditions, and seasonal updates—useful for planning your season.
