Texas Outfitters: 8-Hour Private Hunt Adventure
Get ready for a real Texas hunting experience with WildForever - Texas Outfitters. We're talking 8 full hours of prime hunting time, just you and the great outdoors. Whether you're after the elusive mule deer, the challenging black-tailed deer, or some wild hog action, we've got you covered. Our standard feeder hunts give you the flexibility to choose between day and night pursuits, each with its own unique flavor of excitement.
Inside the Hunt
Here's the lowdown on what to expect: You'll get a solid 3-4 hours of dedicated hunting time. For the early birds, we kick off an hour before daylight. There's something special about being out there as the world wakes up - it's when the deer are most active and least suspicious. If you're more of a night owl, our afternoon hunts start at 6:15 PM and run until about 10 PM. It's a whole different ballgame after dark, with the added thrill of using night vision or thermal scopes to track your prey.
Tracking Tips & Terrain
Our blinds are strategically placed near feeders, giving you the best shot at bagging your target. We're talking about elevated box blinds that'll keep you hidden and comfortable while you wait for the perfect moment. The terrain around here is classic Texas hill country - rocky outcrops, mesquite thickets, and open grasslands. It's the kind of varied landscape that keeps things interesting and offers plenty of cover for game. Remember, patience is key in blind hunting. Stay quiet, stay alert, and let the animals come to you. We'll give you the rundown on wind direction and scent control before you head out - critical info for staying undetected.
Target Game Breakdown
Mule Deer: These big-eared beauties are a favorite among hunters. They're known for their impressive rack size and their ability to disappear into the landscape. Mule deer are most active at dawn and dusk, so our early morning and evening hunts are perfect for targeting them. They love to hang out in the brush-covered hillsides, so keep your eyes peeled for movement along the edges of clearings.
Black-tailed Deer: A subspecies of mule deer, black-tails are a bit smaller but no less challenging to hunt. They're crafty and quick, with a knack for vanishing into the shadows. These deer are most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Look for them in areas where forest meets open ground - they love that transitional habitat.
Wild Hog: Now, if you want non-stop action, wild hogs are your ticket. These critters are smart, tough, and always on the move. They're active day and night, which makes them perfect for our 24-hour hunting setup. Hogs have a great sense of smell, so playing the wind is crucial. They're often found rooting around in softer soil near water sources, so those are prime spots to keep an eye on. Plus, there's no bag limit on hogs in Texas, so you can really get your money's worth.
What to Bring to the Blind
Alright, let's talk gear. You'll want to dress in layers - Texas weather can be unpredictable, and sitting still in a blind for hours means you'll feel every degree of temperature change. Bring a good pair of binoculars, they're worth their weight in gold out here. If you're doing a night hunt, we've got the night vision gear covered, but feel free to bring your own if you have a favorite setup. Don't forget snacks and water - staying hydrated and keeping your energy up is key to staying focused during those long waits. And lastly, bring your patience. Sometimes the hunt is quick and exciting, other times it's a test of will. Either way, it's all part of the experience.
Why Hunters Keep Coming Back
There's something about hunting in Texas that gets under your skin. Maybe it's the wide-open spaces, the challenge of outsmarting wary game, or just the pure thrill of the hunt. Our guests often tell us it's the quality of the experience - from the well-maintained blinds to the abundance of game. We've had folks come back year after year, each time with a new story to tell and a freezer full of meat to show for it. It's not just about the harvest, it's about the memories you make and the skills you hone with each trip.

Black-tailed Deer
Black-tailed deer aren't as common in Texas as whitetails, but they're an interesting target. These coastal cousins of mule deer are smaller, typically 100-200 pounds. You'll find 'em in brushy areas and forest edges, especially near water sources. They're most active at dawn and dusk, so our early morning starts are perfect. Fall and winter are prime hunting seasons when bucks are in rut. Blacktails are known for being skittish and tough to track, which is part of the fun. Hunters enjoy the challenge and the unique trophy. The meat's good eating too, lean and flavorful. Here's a tip: these deer often use the same trails repeatedly, so once you find fresh sign, be patient and set up nearby. They've got a habit of doubling back on their trails when they sense danger, so stay alert even if you think you've lost 'em. It's a different experience from whitetail hunting, and it'll keep you on your toes.
Mule Deer
Mule deer are a real treat to hunt in Texas. These guys are bigger than your average whitetail, with bucks weighing up to 280 pounds. You'll spot 'em by their distinctive large ears and forked antlers. They prefer open country, so we'll be glassing hillsides and brushy areas. Fall's the prime time to go after mule deer, especially during the rut in November. Hunters love 'em for their size and the challenge - they've got keen senses and can bounce away quick. The meat's pretty tasty too, a bit sweeter than whitetail. One trick I've learned over the years: mule deer often bed down with a good vantage point, so check those high spots carefully. And don't rush your stalk - these animals can cover ground fast if spooked. It's a real test of patience and skill, but man, is it worth it when you finally get a shot at a big buck.
Wild Hog
Wild hogs are a whole different ball game. These aren't your farm pigs - we're talking tough, smart animals that can weigh over 300 pounds. They're all over Texas, usually near water and thick cover. You can hunt 'em year-round, day or night, which makes for some exciting options. Hogs have poor eyesight but great hearing and smell, so wind direction is key. They're destructive to land, so landowners are usually happy to have hunters thin the numbers. The hunt can be fast-paced, and the pork is excellent if you get a younger one. Big boars can be aggressive, adding an element of danger to the hunt. My advice? Look for rooted-up ground and mud wallows - that's a sure sign hogs are active in the area. And if you wound one, be careful on the follow-up. They can turn and charge quick. It's an adrenaline rush and a great way to sharpen your hunting skills between deer seasons.
