Join Stewards of the Wild for the Annual All-Stewards Dove Hunt Presented by Garrison Brothers Distillery in Albany on Sept. 5-6!
The Annual All-Stewards Dove Hunt is Stewards of the Wild's signature outdoor experience and the largest and most popular annual event. The two-day program includes: two hunts, opportunities to learn from conservation professionals, fellowship with other outdoorsmen and women, two meals (including a gourmet dinner by acclaimed chef Jesse Griffiths), lodging, live music, sporting clays, and a festive atmosphere round out the experience.
The All-Stewards Dove Hunt helps ensure TPWF can continue to deliver impactful, year-round conservation leadership programming to members across Texas. The 2024 dove hunt had more than 205 participants and tickets sold out in less than a day. This year, we are slightly increasing capacity to meet high demand.
