NEWS RELEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 23, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for a good dove-hunting spot on less than a tank of gas? Then head west on Interstate 10 to Buckeye, only 45 minutes from Phoenix, for exciting wingshooting action and fun activities when the season begins Sunday, Sept. 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The City of Buckeye and its community partners, including landowners who graciously provide access to hunters, are all working together to provide the best in hospitality \u2014 from brewing up early-morning coffee at Cafe 25:35 and setting up several dove-cleaning stations, to offering hunter discounts at participating restaurants and businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbins Butte, Powers Butte and Arlington wildlife areas offer plentiful fields that flocks of mourning and white-winged doves find so attractive. A lucky hunter might even see a deer or javelina foraging in those fields. For more information about upcoming dove-hunting events,  such as the annual Robbins Butte Mentored Youth Dove Hunt, visit AZGFD\u2019s Outdoor Skills Network<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) has been working hard to bring back doves through the many projects implemented on the wildlife areas. The increased availability of food (more than 400 acres in crop production growing wheat, barely, oats, sunflowers, and milo) and habitat for doves and other small game species shows a promising future for higher numbers of doves. It all means more opportunities for hunters and wildlife viewers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, dove season isn\u2019t just about the doves. It\u2019s really about the traditions, families and friends, and community. Buckeye and AZGFD have been collaboratively working for the past several years to promote, expand and celebrate the opportunities for outdoor recreation in Phoenix\u2019s West Valley, with a focus on the season opener of the dove hunts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
