Dove hunting in Texas is most dangerous - 08/27/21 05:47 PM
With the season opener set for next week, this might be a good time to note that according to last year's Texas Hunting Accident Report, more accidents were recorded while people were hunting doves than any other game animal. No surprise that hogs were second.
DOVE hunting incidents, with 11, continue to lead animal hunted category with HOG incidents back up to 6 (25%).
Granted, the higher number of incidents could be indicative of the large numbers of hunters who will be hitting the fields. However, it may be more indicative of the large number of shots that are taken while dove hunting relative to those taken when hunting other animals. Simply put, there can be a whole lot of shooting happening in the typical dove field.
