TPW-TV—DOVE HUNTER: Dove as a gateway into hunting [03 “…grow up in it.”]. We explain… ahead… on Passport to Texas. This is Passport to Texas 09— You know I grew up playing soccer and football. I missed out on Boy Scouts. Never got involved in the outdoors. Didn’t find hunting until my mid-20s or so. Austinite James Montgomery is a business and family man…he’s also a coach and a dove hunter. We meet him the week of August 25th on the TPW TV series on PBS. 09—Getting away from the everyday hustle and bustle of going to work. Leaving the job behind. It feels good to get away and just experience nature. Shaun Oldenburger is upland game bird program manager for parks and wildlife. 17— The great thing about dove hunting is you don’t need to grow up in it. As far as having a place to go, there’s a lot of public opportunities available for dove hunting that Texas Parks and Wildlife provide. For the most part, you just need some shells and a shotgun and a hunting license. You can be good to go and have a great opportunity to get in the outdoors and get an experience and get the introduction to hunting in Texas. The Wildlife Restoration Program supports our series.
