For dove hunting, the recommended clothing focuses on comfort, camouflage, and weather appropriateness:

• Colors and Camouflage: Wear dark-colored or camouflage clothing to blend into the environment, as doves can see colors and will avoid bright hues like blaze orange

. Earth tones or camo patterns with 3D natural elements (branches, leaves) help with concealment

• Bottoms: Lightweight pants or ankle-height trousers are sufficient. Multipocket pants made of silent, waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric are ideal. Some hunters even wear sneakers or khaki shorts in hot weather, though boots and snake-proof gear are recommended in areas with rattlesnakes

• Tops: Use breathable, lightweight shirts, preferably 100% cotton for comfort. Long sleeve shirts with UPF protection help against sun exposure. Layering with sweaters, polar fleece zip-ups, or hunting vests (with multiple pockets and reversible high-visibility options) is useful for changing weather

• Headwear: Caps or hats protect from the sun and help with camouflage. Waterproof hats are advisable for rainy conditions. A mesh camo cap is good for hot days, while a softshell beanie can be used in cooler mornings

• Footwear: Comfortable boots are important. Options include ankle-high, calf-high, or waterproof boots. Snake-proof boots or chaps are recommended in snake-prone regions for safety

• Accessories: Leather shooting gloves to avoid blisters, shooting glasses or sunglasses (yellow lenses enhance contrast), sunscreen, lip balm, hearing protection, and a dove belt for shells are essential

• Additional: Bring a chair or hunting stool for comfort during long waits, and standard outdoor essentials like water and bug spray

In summary, dress in breathable, camo or earth-tone clothing with appropriate layering, protective footwear, and sun and safety accessories to stay comfortable and concealed while dove hunting
