There’s something special about the opening morning of dove season.

The early alarm. Hot coffee. A quiet field waking up around you. The sound of wings overhead and laughter beside the people you love.

Because dove season was never just about the hunt.

It’s about family. Friendship. Tradition. The outdoors. And taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of God’s creation.

You may not remember every bird you brought home, but you’ll remember the mornings, the stories, and who shared them with you.

Hunt safe. Hunt responsibly. Give thanks. And make some memories.

PSA - Flamingos are not doves. 🦩

We know. Shocking.

While elusive and magnificently beautiful, these pink birds are best admired, not harvested. They’re better suited for postcards, lawn ornaments, and dramatic poses in shallow water than mounted in yiur man cave.

Hunt safe. Hunt smart. Know your target.

Our good friends at Gun Owners of Arkansas do an amazing job! Thank you for all you do. 💪🏼

Issue 2 does not replace “shall not be infringed—it strengthens and clarifies it. It retains the explicit command that the right shall not be infringed while adding that the right is natural, fundamental, and individual, and expressly protecting fi****ms, am******on, fi***rm components, and accessories. It provides more constitutional detail for courts to apply when determining whether government action violates the right. The purpose is not to weaken or rewrite “shall not be infringed,” but to give that protection greater constitutional substance and clarity.”
