YVWF 2024 Dove Hunt at Walnut Cove

The Yadkin Valley Wildlife Federation has been, and still are, hard at work establishing a dove hunting field for the 2024 season. Our Chapter is offering shooting positions for Monday, September 2nd for $100. Youth hunters ages 12-17 can register for $20 and must be accompanied by a registered parent or legal guardian.

Myron Mitchell, a generous donor and supporter of our Chapter, is partnering with the YVWF on his family farm in Walnut Cove, NC to host our dove hunt. Some of our members may recall the successful dove shoots from past years. We are offering 30 hunting/shooting positions for reservation. Dove field hunting reservations will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis. Register and pay early.

Hunts will start and close in accordance with NC Wildlife Resource Commission regulations and/or the landowners/hunt managers direction. All participants must check-in prior to entering the dove field for safety briefing and must possess a valid hunting license with HIP Certification. Also, participants must sign a liability waiver. Shooting positions will be assigned by a lottery drawing. Normally, hunters are paired at shooting positions.

LOCATION: 1662 Watts Road, Walnut Cove, NC 27052
