loud-n-boomerHunting in the Austin, TX area in February?
Hi all. I have business in Austin in early February, and would be interested in doing some hunting while there since I have never hunted in Texas. Please give me your sugeestions; I am open to birds, small game, deer, pigs, etc., or some combination thereof.

M16Bird season is over by then. Pigs, Javalina, Deer on Managed lands are in season. Texas is basically all private and hunts are pay as you go. What type of budget are we working with?

loud-n-boomerHi M16.
I am mostly interested in getting out and seeing some different country, rather than in looking for a trophy, so I am basically trying to go cheap (less than $1,000), or even better, free.

graybirdYou're probably looking at pigs and javelina with a $1K budget.
You might be able to hunt an exotic for just a little more cash.
Good luck

LWDYou might get whitetail doe or spike buck for that price on an MLD property. Lots of exotic possibilities pretty close to Austin.

RVL IIIIt's always exotic season in Texas!
You should be able to shoot some Axis does for that money.

bwanamrmDouble that amount and head a couple of hours south and you can hunt nilgai during the rut.... now that is fun!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
