Whitetail Deer Hunts
When you’re Texas deer hunting, you never know what kind of game animal will come past your blind.
It might be a hog, maybe a big whitetail buck, or even some exotic you’ve never even heard of before. It can be frustrating if there is only one species that you can shoot, but this Texas trophy buck hunt isn’t like that. If you’re the type of hunter who just likes to hunt, this hunt is for you! Another great thing about this hunt is that it includes a hog and unlimited predators in the price of the hunt. Texas almost rivals Africa for it’s diversity of things to hunt, and no matter what your budget is, we can find a hunt that fits what you are looking for.

Axis Deer Hunts
Most people set out to take one Axis buck in their lifetime, but after the first one they are hooked and they come back time and time again. If you like elk hunting then you will love this trophy Texas Axis buck hunt! We have multiple exotic hunting ranches in the Texas Hill Country that offer free range and high fence axis hunting. We have hunts where we spot and stalk the animals or we can also sit on stands over food plots and travel routes. When you show up, expect to see recent trail cam photos of patterned bucks that have been hitting the feeders. We hunt the hills, and river bottoms in some rugged country. This hunt can be as demanding as you would like to work or easier for the people that simply cannot hike the mountain tops. This is a fun hunt will work for everyone.
This hunt includes:
- One Axis buck
- One Hog *must take the meat
- Unlimited Rattlesnakes

- Bobcats – Added Trophy Fee
- The best time to go is during the rut which takes place in late May and June.

Axis Doe Hunts
An axis doe hunt in Texas is cheap, plus you will take home some of the best meat on the planet! You could call this a true “meat hunt” at a reasonable cost. If you want to introduce a kid to hunting for the first time, or just get some more hunting experience, an exotic hunt is a good hunt for you. If you’re looking for a trophy axis, we can set you up on that too.
Not only is the meat over the top, but the hides make great pillows, flat skins, etc. Once you take your axis doe, you need to make steaks out of most of it, and hamburger the rest. Do not even think for a moment about making this excellent meat into sausage! It is outstanding on the grill.
- Two Axis does
- One Hog *must take the meat
- Unlimited Rattlesnakes
- Unlimited Coyotes and Foxes

![Cory Glauner loves Texas javelina hunting.](https://exploreoi.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/South-Texas-with-Christian-Outdoor-Alliance-COA-5.jpg)
Javelina Hunts
This is a relaxing, fun trip, and a great option for bow hunters. In fact, there are so many javelina, that if someone want so shoot rifle, they will probably be done in just one day. You WILL get some shooting in. This is a high success hunt, that anyone can do.
Also, if you see feral hogs, they’re fair game, and the wild hogs can get up to 100 pounds or more. Another fun thing to do on this hunt is to drive the roads at night, hunting rattlesnakes and calling predators. The rattlers in Texas are BIG, and mean…and there are a lot of them!
How to Hunt Javelina
Typically, Texas javelina hunting is done much the same way as whitetail deer, which is out of a blind overlooking several senderos (cleared roadways) in the brush. However, if you want to really have some fun (especially with a bow), your outfitter will “corn the road,” and drive around until a herd of pigs come out to feed, and then spot and stalk them. You’ll sneak in the cover along the side of the road to get into bow range. This style of hunting is a lot more challenging, but also a lot more fun.
Texas Javelina Hunting Season
There isn’t a set season for javelina, but the best time to go is mid-January through April. This is after the outfitter has been feeding the deer for several months, and it’s not yet too hot to hunt comfortably. This is a great hunt for a group of friends looking to extend their hunting season.
- Semi-guided: Guides will put you out at corn fed locations and you will be picked up later.
- 3 1/2 days of hunting with 2 travel days
- Two javelina limit.
- Unlimited wild hogs. *must take the meat
- Unlimited rattlesnakes. Texas has gigantic Western Diamondback rattlesnakes!
- Unlimited coyotes and foxes.
- Bobcats – Added Trophy Fee
- This hunt takes place in April. Be sure to check the five-day forecast before coming to see what you need to bring with you, springtime weather in South Texas can swing wildly.
- When hunting javelina in Texas, you’ll probably hunt safari style, out of a vehicle, safari style until they’re located for a stalk.
- Stay in a ranch house or cabins depending on the ranch you will be hunting.
Predator Hunts
Hog and predator hunting are both becoming more and more popular, and Texas has the best of both. Both a Texas hog hunt as well as predator hunting can be done year round, but as we hit the summer months we do the bulk of our hunting at night. We tend to sleep in the mornings and hunt the evenings, all night, and into the early parts of the morning. You will hunt hogs over feeders with lights, or spotlights were possible, and with thermal and infrared scopes. What makes this Texas hog hunt different from all the rest is the outfitter makes sure that you are set up way ahead of time, with the blinds and feeders that draw the hogs.
When it comes to predator hunting, this outfitter knows the importance of giving a ranch some rest before you hammer the coyotes, foxes and bobcats. Predator calling to frequently tends to educate the critters and we want you to be successful on your trip. Recently, they have added thermal scopes to their bag of tricks, which gives us the ability to hunt all night long.
Texas is crawling with coyotes, foxes and bobcats. The thick brush is perfect habitat for both predators and prey, and there are plenty of both. When predator hunting, you can expect to do lots of calling with both mouth calls and electronic calls. These are some of the smartest animals we hunt and if you are up for a challenge, then this one’s for you. You are not limited to how many predators you can shoot, however, bobcats do have an added trophy fee.
