Family-Friendly Texas Hunting Adventure
Looking for a way to introduce the whole family to hunting? Our 8-hour guided trip with WildForever - Texas Outfitters is just the ticket. We've set up this experience to be perfect for hunters of all ages and skill levels, whether you're bringing the kids out for their first hunt or want to share your passion with relatives who've never held a rifle before. With flexible scheduling for day or night hunts, top-notch gear, and expert guides, we'll make sure your family has a safe and exciting time in the great Texas outdoors.
Inside the Hunt
When you book with us, you're in for a real treat. We use a standard feeder setup that's tried and true for attracting game. Each hunting session runs 3-4 hours, giving everyone in your group plenty of time to get comfortable, learn the ropes, and hopefully bag their first deer or hog. For early birds, we kick off morning hunts about an hour before the sun peeks over the horizon. Night owls can opt for our evening hunts, starting at 6:15 PM and wrapping up around 10 PM. We keep our groups small, usually 3-5 folks, so you'll get plenty of one-on-one attention from our guides. It's the perfect setup for family bonding and creating memories that'll last a lifetime.
Tracking Tips & Terrain
Our hunts take place from well-positioned blinds, giving you a comfortable and strategic vantage point. We'll set you up with everything you need, from rifles to binoculars. Before we head out, we'll go over the basics of using the blind, how to spot game, and the most effective shooting techniques. For night hunts, we use top-of-the-line thermal gear to help you spot animals in the dark. The terrain around our blinds is typical Texas brush country - a mix of open areas and thickets that game love to hang out in. Our guides know every nook and cranny of the land, so they'll help you understand animal movements and where to focus your attention for the best chance at a successful hunt.
Target Game Breakdown
Mule Deer: These big-eared beauties are a favorite among Texas hunters. Mule deer are known for their impressive antlers and can weigh up to 280 pounds. They're most active during dawn and dusk, which is why our hunt times are perfect for spotting them. Mule deer are curious by nature, often pausing to look at hunters - giving you a great shot opportunity. The best time to hunt mule deer is during the rut in November and December when bucks are most active.
Black-tailed Deer: A subspecies of mule deer, black-tailed deer are smaller but no less challenging to hunt. They're known for their dark tails and prefer densely forested areas. These deer are incredibly wary and have excellent hearing, making them a thrilling target for hunters looking to test their skills. The prime season for black-tailed deer is typically October through December.
Wild Hog: These non-native invaders are open season year-round in Texas, and for good reason. Wild hogs are tough, smart, and can weigh up to 400 pounds. They're most active at night, which is why our evening hunts are so popular for hog hunting. These animals have an incredible sense of smell, so we'll teach you how to stay downwind and use scent-masking techniques. Hunting wild hogs not only provides an exciting challenge but also helps control their population, which is crucial for protecting Texas ecosystems.
Hunter Highlights
Our family-friendly hunts are designed to create lasting memories and potentially spark a lifelong passion for hunting. Kids often get a kick out of spotting animals through binoculars or thermal scopes, even if they're not ready to take a shot themselves. We've had grandparents introduce their grandkids to hunting traditions that have been in their family for generations. It's not uncommon to see a teenager's eyes light up when they bag their first deer, or watch a parent beam with pride as their child learns to track an animal. These shared experiences in nature, away from screens and distractions, are what make our family hunts so special.

Learn more about the animals
Black-tailed Deer
Black-tailed deer are a unique subspecies we're lucky to have in parts of Texas. They're on the smaller side, typically 100-200 pounds, with distinctively dark tails that give them their name. These deer are masters of the thick brush, preferring densely forested areas where they can easily disappear. We'll be focusing on the edges of clearings and logging roads where they come out to feed. Late summer through fall is when we see the most activity, especially during the rut. Black-tails are known for their wariness, making them a real challenge that seasoned hunters appreciate. Their meat is top-notch too, often described as sweeter than other venison. When we're out there, keep an eye on the wind – these deer have an incredible sense of smell. I always tell folks to pay attention to subtle movements in the brush; sometimes all you'll see is the flick of an ear or tail before they vanish.
Mule Deer
Mule deer are a real treat to hunt here in Texas. These guys are bigger than your average whitetail, usually weighing in around 150-300 pounds. You'll spot 'em by their distinctive large ears and forked antlers. They're most active at dawn and dusk, so our morning and evening hunts are perfect for catching them on the move. Mule deer prefer open country, so we'll be scanning grasslands and the edges of wooded areas. Fall is prime time, as the bucks are in rut and more visible. Hunters love going after mule deer for their size and the challenge – they've got great eyesight and can be pretty skittish. If you're looking to bag one, patience is key. We'll set up near water sources or feeding areas and wait for them to come to us. It's a great way to teach the kids about reading animal behavior and enjoying the quiet of nature.
Wild Hog
Wild hogs are a whole different ballgame here in Texas. These critters can get big, with boars sometimes topping 300 pounds. They're smart, tough, and always on the move. You'll find them rooting around in just about any habitat – forests, fields, even near water sources. We can hunt them year-round, but cooler months are best when they're more active during daylight hours. Hogs have poor eyesight but an excellent sense of smell, so playing the wind is crucial. Hunters love going after them because it's fast-paced and you're doing the state a favor by controlling their numbers. Plus, the meat is fantastic for BBQ. If you're after a big one, look for muddy wallows or rubs on trees – that's where the larger boars hang out. And here's a tip: if you see one, take your shot quick. These guys don't stick around long once they know you're there.
