Species to Target During Texas Fall Hunting Season
Texas is one of the most species-rich hunting states in the country, offering landowners and hunters a wide range of opportunities each fall. As temperatures cool and wildlife activity increases, fall becomes the perfect season to pursue big game, upland birds, and waterfowl across the Lone Star State.
Land is more than a legacy—it’s an income-generating asset, if you know how to tap into its full potential. Whether you’re managing farmland, timberland, or recreational acreage, the right approach can turn underused ground into long-term value.
Hunting seasons are an essential part of wildlife management, ensuring that game populations remain healthy and sustainable for future generations. By understanding the different types of hunting seasons, when they occur, and why they are critical, hunters can plan their trips effectively and responsibly. Here’s a breakdown of hunting seasons and why they matter.
Many BirdDog clients are strong freshwater anglers looking to break into the salt—and we love helping with that leap. One of the biggest technical shifts? Mastering the strip set. It’s a critical skill for anyone targeting redfish, snook, or tarpon on our coastal trips. Here’s how to do it right.
Catch and release fishing is a popular practice among conservation-minded anglers who are committed to ensuring that fish populations remain healthy and sustainable. By releasing fish back into the water after they’ve been caught, anglers help maintain the balance of ecosystems and support the long-term viability of species. However, for catch and release fishing to be truly effective, it’s essential to handle the fish properly to ensure their survival.
At BirdDog, we help folks get on the water in unforgettable ways—whether that’s a coastal fly trip with a guide we know or an exclusive BirdDog property tucked near redfish-rich water. But even with the best setup, you still need the right gear to seal the deal. Here’s what we recommend for getting dialed in on the Texas coast.
