Hunting Practical

One county page, three very different bird hunts

Tom Green County The Great Outdoors

Turkey, dove, and quail may share a county, but they do not share one checklist. Turkey and quail point to upland-game rules. Dove uses a migratory-game endorsement and HIP certification. Turkey harvest can also carry a reporting step.

The dates and limits turn over by license year. In July 2026, TPWD's Tom Green page still displayed the closed 2025-2026 season. Use the page only after its heading matches the hunt year, then check the bird, zone, dates, bag limit, endorsement, and reporting rule before going out.
