Texas Hunting

From whitetail deer to African exotics, the Lone Star State is a spectacular hunting destination. Approximately 97 percent of Texas is privately owned. Landowners have learned that hunters are willing to pay for access. Especially on ranches with good native game, and/or exotics populations.

This is where we come in. With relationships with ranches all over Texas, OUTDOORS INTERNATIONAL can tailor a hunt to fit what you are looking for with packages that can fit any budget. If you need help finding some great Texas outdoors adventures, get in touch with us and we will be happy to help.

There are three options for Texas hunting:

1. Hunt public land.
2. Become a member of a hunting lease or club.
3. Use the services of a guide or outfitter.

Native Big Game in Hunting in Texas:

The major native big game animals in Texas are whitetail deer, mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope, collared peccary or javelina, and alligators.

Texas deer hunting is great! Texas has more whitetail deer than any other state. Population estimates in recent year range from three to four million. An estimated 430,000-500,000 whitetails are harvested by sportsmen in Texas annually – more than any other state. It’s is one of the top 10 states for Boone and Crockett whitetail entries. So depending on where/how you’re hunting, trophy quality can be good to amazing.
