Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What Do You Wear Dove Hunting?

For dove hunting, wear lightweight, breathable clothing in earth tones or camouflage to blend into fields while staying comfortable in typically warm conditions. Long sleeves and pants protect against sun, bugs, and brush without overheating.

Do You Have to Wear Full Camo for Dove Hunting?

No, you do not have to wear full camouflage for dove hunting—it's not a legal requirement in any U.S. state. However, camouflage or earth tones (like olive or brown) help break your outline since doves have sharp eyesight, improving success rates in fields or near water. Full camo isn't essential—many hunters limit it to a hat, shirt, or vest for concealment without overheating in warm weather. Prioritize lightweight, breathable fabrics with long sleeves for sun and insect protection.

Do I Need to Wear Orange When Dove Hunting?

You usually don’t need to wear blaze orange while dove hunting, and it can even hurt your chances because doves can see it clearly. They have excellent color vision and are sensitive to orange wavelengths, so blaze orange often stands out against natural backgrounds and can cause birds to flare or avoid your setup. Most hunters stick with camo or earth tones for better concealment and save blaze orange hunting gear for safety only—such as walking between spots or hunting near other people—since it typically isn’t legally required for doves in most states.

Are Jeans Ok for Dove Hunting?

Yes, jeans are generally okay for dove hunting, especially for beginners or casual hunts, as they provide a dark, low-profile color without needing full camouflage. Many hunters use them successfully since doves detect movement more than patterns.
