We have trophy Texas whitetail hunting, corporate hunting packages, large youth hunting programs, doe hunts for parents and kids, as well as cull and management hunts. Our hunters take great free range bucks every year, but if you want, you can hunt on a high fence ranch.  With all of that being said, we’re confident that we have  a hunt that will fit your budget or your desire to collect some venison, or that trophy of a lifetime. For hunters with reasonable expectations, a free range Texas deer hunt is a ton of fun, and very consistent for good bucks! Texas 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.

South Texas

If you’re after a big deer, the Brush Country of South Texas is where it’s at!…but it comes with a hefty price tag. Most deer hunting in South Texas is on high fence ranches, and you’ll pay a fee to hunt plus a a trophy fee. There is some low fence, free range deer hunting in South Texas however.

Texas Hill Country

The Hill Country holds nearly HALF of all of the whitetails in Texas! Texans refer to the Hill Country as that area west of Austin and San Antonio. There are so many deer in this country, that we have near perfect success rates on both free range and high fence ranches!

East Texas

Deer hunting the Pineywoods area of East Texas is much like hunting South Texas, in that it is private and behind fences. However, there are some good bucks taken every year, and the terrain is thickly wooded as opposed to the more open brushy country of South Texas.

Texas Management Deer Hunts

Management Hunts

Management hunts are a cheaper option when compared to trophy buck hunts. These are typically 3 1/2 years or older deer with have seven points or less, and score less than 140 inches.

This is not necessarily just a hunt for broken antlered deer, and our hunters often take big seven and six points.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you,

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
