About Our Mourning Dove Hunts in Colorado

Most important info about these hunts—landscapes, strategies, costs, and comforts.

Summary & Terrain

Colorado’s mourning dove hunts take place across a mix of private ranchlands and public agricultural flats in the eastern plains, river bottoms, and sunflower fields. These wide‐open spaces—often dotted with stands of sunflowers, sorghum, or milo—provide clear visibility and easy access to loafing and feeding birds. Many outfitters operate from rustic lodges or spike camps situated just steps from dove roosts, allowing hunters to step off the porch and into active shooting areas. The combination of gently rolling terrain, irrigation canals, and adjacent crop fields offers plenty of shooting lanes and natural cover for both novice and veteran hunters.

Difficulty & Strategy

Mourning dove hunting in Colorado is generally considered moderate in difficulty and highly suitable for shooters of all experience levels. Doves typically feed in small flocks in early morning and late afternoon, presenting fast, low‐flying targets that reward steady holds and quick follow‐through. The most common strategy is a spot‐and‐shoot approach—walking into feeding areas or sitting near known food sources—rather than conventional decoy spreads. Shotguns with extended chokes loaded with light or mid‐weight shot are standard, and hunters often cover ground on foot to intercept moving flocks. Guides will advise on stand locations, wind considerations, and safe shooting angles to maximize success while minimizing wasted shots.

Amenities

Mourning dove hunts in Colorado are typically based out of regional lodges or, in some cases, more rustic camp settings. Lodges provide comfortable bedrooms with beds and modern climate control for heating and cooling. In camps where details vary, sleeping arrangements and temperature regulation may be simpler or unspecified. Across all packages, hunters can expect guided field access to prime dove areas along with basic lodging support tailored to both first-time and experienced dove hunters.

Season & Additional Info

The prime mourning dove season in Colorado begins in early September and typically runs through late October, aligning with post–harvest crop conditions and peak feeder activity. Most guided packages include an experienced guide, use of private fields, field dressing of birds, and all necessary state permits. Lodging is often bundled with the hunt at ranch camps or nearby lodges, giving hunters the chance to unwind between outings. Because doves migrate early, bookings fill fast—especially during opening week—so advance reservations and proper licensing (small game and habitat stamps) are strongly recommended.

Pricing

Mourning dove hunts in Colorado generally run in the low- to mid-hundreds per person, with the average package hovering around $220. Most offerings are day-hunt formats, often half- or full-day outings based from regional lodges or simple field camps. Lower-cost options tend to be half-day trips with minimal lodging support, while full-service lodge packages—including comfortable rooms, meals, and guide services—align more closely with the average price. Small-group hunts with one-on-one guidance may carry a modest premium, as can multi-day or premium-amenity packages that include upgraded lodging or additional bird species. In all cases, guided field access, basic lodging support, and standard license or permit assistance are factored into the price.
