Dove Hunts in Kansas
We are blessed in that our location in north central Kansas is recognized as a wonderful, diverse wildlife area that harbors a variety of species. A small community located close to us was identified by Sports Afield as being the #2 ideal location to live in the U.S.A. for sportsmen. Besides incredible pheasant hunting, one of the other locally available hunting opportunities in our area is dove hunting.
Kansas Dove Season & Species
September 1st is the fall opener for dove shoots at Ringneck Ranch. Pasture ponds and early sunflowers are where we find the action. Bring your fishing pole for a relaxing mid-day activity. First cool front and moisture and the doves are headed south!
Four species of doves are legal to hunt in Kansas:
- Mourning dove
- Eurasian collared-dove
- Ringed turtle-dove
- White-winged dove
Pigeons, also known as rock doves or rock pigeons, are classified as a pest species, not a game species, and can be shot year-round.
