In Texas, September doesn't start with falling leaves. It starts before sunrise, at the edge of a sunflower field or a stock tank, with a thermos of coffee and the sound of wings cutting through the morning air. For generations of Texas families, dove season is a homecoming. Here's how we honor that tradition in silver and gold.
Why is dove season so meaningful in Texas?
The birds are only part of the story. For many young Texans, it's their first hunt, spent beside a father or grandfather learning patience, safety, and respect for the land. It's the ranch gathering, the bacon-wrapped dove on the grill, and the stories retold every year until they become family legend. At Clint Orms, we understand that kind of tradition, because the things worth keeping are the things that get passed down.
What is the Game Birds collection?
Our Game Birds collection was created for the hunter who carries those memories with them. Each design celebrates the patience, skill, and dedication behind a day in the field, and every piece is made entirely by hand in sterling silver or gold.
What pieces are available in the collection?
The collection includes game bird buckles, money clips, bracelets, and cuff links. Quail have long been a favorite subject in our shop, with pieces like the Zapata 1830 trophy buckle, featuring two quail set among cacti and personalized with the owner's initials, and the Houston 1805 buckle set, with an 18 karat gold quail in flight over hand-engraved wheatgrass.
Can I get a custom dove piece?
Yes. Our custom team can bring your dove hunting story to life in hand-engraved sterling silver and gold, whether that's a mourning dove in flight across a trophy buckle, a money clip marking a youth hunter's first season, or a matching set for the whole hunting party.
What kinds of memories can a custom piece honor?
A first limit. A grandfather's favorite field. A lease your family has hunted for thirty years. Every custom piece begins with a conversation about what matters most to you, and from there, our engravers and silversmiths build something that will be worn this season and handed down for many seasons to come.
Does a game bird piece make a good gift?
With dove season in full swing and the holidays not far behind, a game bird piece makes a meaningful gift for the father, son, friend, or ranch host who makes every hunt possible. Because custom work takes time to do right, now is the perfect time to start the conversation.
