Texans are serious about their deer hunting! Food plots, protein, sweet feed, corn, mineral blocks, and cattle cubes are all liberally used to maximize the potential of their Texas deer hunting.
For hunters with reasonable expectations, free range Texas deer hunting is a ton of fun, and very consistent for good bucks!
OUTDOORS INTERNATIONAL offers all kinds of options in Texas for hunters and corporate groups, no matter what your budget is. Keep in mind though, that because their hunts are so diverse, you will need to ask us for specifics.
Our outfitters also run 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 a hunt that will fit your budget or your desire to collect some venison, or that trophy of a lifetime.
Why you should consider Texas deer hunting:
- Over the counter tags and license, but you must have taken a hunter education class if you were born after September, 1 1971.
- 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.
- Our hunters have high success rates in the great state of Texas.
- You’ll see a lot of deer. For some reason Texas is crawling with whitetails, and actually has one of the largest deer herds in the country with three to four million animals. It doesn’t look like it could hold as many animals as it does.
- Long hunting season that goes from September to January.
- It’s super common to add exotics or hogs while you’re deer hunting in Texas.
- You’ll most likely be hunting from a blind over feed, but if your outfitter will allow it, rattling during the rut can be an incredibly action packed hunt.
- Lodging and accommodations can be literally whatever you want them to be in Texas. We work with outfitters all across the state.
South Texas Deer Hunting

Deer Hunting in Texas Hill Country
The Hill Country holds nearly HALF of all of the whitetails in Texas!
Texans refer to Hill Country as that area between Austin and Antonio. There are so many deer in this country, that success rates hover near an unheard of 100%! Bucks here tend to be slightly smaller than South Texas bucks, but a mature 8 to 10 point buck scoring 110 to 130 inches is a super reasonable goal, with much larger bucks being possible. Contact us about booking a hunt.
Pineywoods in East Texas
Deer hunting the Pineywoods area 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. Contact us about booking a hunt.
