Texas on map, about hunting in texas.

At 261,797 square miles, Texas, the Lone Star State, is second only to Alaska in size. Possessing enormous natural resources, Texas is a major agricultural state and an industrial giant, leading all other states in such categories as oil, cattle, sheep, and cotton. Most hunting in Texas is done on private land, primarily on large ranches that may be leased by outfitters or individuals, or hunted with the permission of the landowner. Texans are avid and enthusiastic hunters. The state is particularly famous for its large-antlered white-tailed deer, but hunters can also pursue alligators, javelinas, wild pigs, mule deer, pronghorn, squirrels, turkeys, waterfowl, and upland birds, especially quail. In addition, many Texas ranches have large populations of imported non-native animals, including nilgai, axis deer, blackbuck, aoudad, and even a wide variety of African game such as zebras and oryx. In most cases these exotic animals can be hunted year-round on private land. These ranches provide a unique opportunity for hunters to pursue animals that are native to Africa and Asia at a relatively low cost and without having to leave the U.S. Many, but not all, ranches in Texas are high-fenced, especially those with exotic species. Much of Texas is brushy and thick, making for challenging hunting despite the large and abundant game populations. For this reason, hunting, especially for whitetails, is often done from permanent blinds, and baiting is popular, especially with the use of automatic feeders, which are legal in the state. Texas has an overabundance of feral hogs, and because they are unprotected, exotic, non-game animals, they may be taken by any means or methods at any time of year. There are no seasons or bag limits, however a hunting license and landowner permission are required to hunt them. Texas requires 400 square inches of fluorescent orange to be worn by all hunters when hunting on public hunting grounds. Orange is not required on private land, but is encouraged. A Texas hunting license is required for hunting any species in the state. Learn more about Texas hunting from the Texas Department of Parks & Wildlife: http://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/hunt/ .

A Fun & Adventurous Weekend at Ox Ranch

As we were signing in and admiring the magnificent Lodge and all of the wildlife mounted on the walls, Larry walked up and said “I’m your guide for the weekend and it’s my goal to make sure that you have a great time during your stay” – and he more than accomplished that goal.

A couple of Texas Outside visitors had sent me an email saying the we need to check out Ox Ranch. And after a visit to their website we immediately called and booked a weekend stay. Ox Ranch is quickly turning into and gaining a reputation as one of the finest resorts in Texas thanks to their luxurious cabins, fine dining, lots of fun activities, and thousands of exotic wildlife for hunting, photography, or observing in the wild.

A large part of what makes Ox Ranch so special is that it’s owner Brent Oxley, who purchased the property in 2013, has set a goal of “creating the finest hunting ranch the world has ever seen.” I’m no hunting ranch expert but from my perspective he’s far exceeded that goal already:

• the diversity, topography, and water features (creeks and 50 acres of lakes) on his 18,000 acres with over 33 miles of high fence set the Ranch apart from the competition

• there are over 100 miles of roads carved through the property that can be used for hunting, biking, hiking, ATVing, or wildlife tours
• the log cabin lodging is unique and rustic, as well as upscale and comfortable and dining is truly a gourmet experience
• the staff is first class – friendly, outgoing, and committed to making sure that you have a very memorable experience
• the 5800 foot paved and lighted runway is perfect for guests with their own plane
• the hunting is outstanding and diverse and you’re guaranteed 100% success
• and the non-hunting experiences are unequalled from driving and firing a World War II tank to caving, jet skiing, or survival skills and lots more

Ox Ranch Hunting

A large part of what makes Ox Ranch unique and special are the various options for hunting and the diverse population of animals that you can hunt, the major categories of which include: whitetail and exotic deer; 15 different types of antelope; a variety of sheep; goat; buffalo and bovine; hogs; and birds ranging from dove to ostrich or turkey. And there are a lot of other animals to hunt like kangaroo or zebra. See this Ox Ranch Hunting Game Page for a list of what you can hunt on Ox Ranch.

• 10 windows for shooting on 1000s of acres with 5 game feeders at ranges from 300 to over 800 yards visibility from the blind
• 8 game cameras and a high tech display system
• air conditioning and heating
• a game table, fully stocked bar, refrigerator, and ice maker
• comfortable swivel chairs

Each group of guests (usually up to 4 or 5 hunters) is assigned to an experienced guide and is guaranteed 100% success – wounded animals are not guaranteed. In addition to lodging and dining, the hunting packages also include: weaponry, field dressing, and transportation of your animal to a local meat processor and taxidermist. In addition to hunts, your guides can take you to the archery range, one of two gun ranges, the 5 station skeet range, or let you shoot a 50 caliber or any of several machine guns.

Larry was like what I would envision a horse whisperer to be – he has a true love for all the wildlife from a horny toad to a giraffe and he had names for a number of them. As we drove around the Ranch he was constantly yelling out the window for Tom, Bacon, Julie, or Jerry, or any of the wildlife he’s named and on several occasions to our surprise out of the brush would appear a giraffe, a water buffalo, some type of deer or something else that would meander or, in some cases, gallop up to the truck to be petted and fed by Larry and us. He would call them by name, pet and feed them, and talk to them like they were a part of his family! A lot of the animals found out where Larry lived and they loved hanging around his house waiting for a handout. During our tour Larry coached a couple Watusi Cattle out of the brush to show us one of them that was sick. I thought Larry was on the verge of tears as he told the story of this poor Watusi that he thinks got an ear infection that has now caused him to not be able to hold his head straight – the weight of his right horn has forced his head and neck to tilt on a severe angle to the right – he’ll most likely not survive.

One of the things that we all thoroughly enjoyed during our stay at Ox Ranch was what I would call a “wildlife tour” in Larry’s pickup truck. We spent several hours driving the back roads in search of wildlife. As we drove through the Ranch Larry would point out and tell us a little bit about the animal we were looking at, or something about the Ranch history, or some hunting experience, or something about the landscape or fauna. He would also stop, call out some animal, give us a few tips like approach slowly and keep your hand flat, and then hand us something to feed the animals. We had ostrich, pigs, and deer eating corn out of our hands, got within 6 feet of several animals, fed the giraffe carrots, and had camels and kangaroos eating bananas out of our hands! A unique experience that the grandkids and the wife and I will never forget. We’ve visited several wildlife and safari parks in Texas and nothing came close to comparing what we experienced at Ox Ranch.

Other Fun Activities At Ox Ranch

Ox Ranch is best known for hunting, but if free chase hunting isn’t your thing there are plenty of other activities to keep you and/or the kids busy. You can:

• take a wildlife safari tour and hand-feed several animals like giraffe, camels, ostrich, and more
• tour a small cave

• enjoy a fun and exciting ATV tour
• catch some bass – typical lakes are stocked with 40 bass per acre but at Ox Ranch the ponds have 100 bass per acre
• go swimming in any of the 5 ponds or the new swimming pool
• enjoy a jet ski ride or board or tube behind a jet ski
• paddle the lake on a paddleboard or kayak
• learn some survival or bush craft training from a former Green Beret
• try target shooting with bows or guns or shoot some skeet from a 5 position skeet range
• take a hike or go bird watching or stargazing under unbelievable starlit skies
• drive and fire a World War II Sherman tank or shoot a 50 caliber machine gun or a variety of other machine guns and weapons

We asked the Chef for an early dinner (8:00) so we could go night vision hunting as soon as it got dark. Around 9 we jumped in Larry’s truck and headed to Big Blind. The technology in the blind is amazing – cameras showed us exactly what was at each of the nearby feeders, which Larry could set off by remote control to spray feed and attract the animals who within minutes would appear out of nowhere to eat. When we saw a lot of hogs at a feeder, Larry would confirm with night vision binoculars (worth $12,000), and one of the grandkids would confirm he saw the same target through the rifles night vision scope and then he took a shot. Meanwhile I ate snacks and drank beer – loved it!

Lodging at Ox Ranch

Our cabin was made from recycled barn wood and the deck that wraps around the entire cabin had wooden rocking chairs, tables, and lots of antiques – an old scale, grinding wheel, milk container, farm implements, and an antique wheelchair. The inside of the cabin was luxuriously appointed with a soft leather couch with a matching chair and a half, lamp and side table, coffee table, wood floor with an animal skin rug, small table with a bowl of snacks and 4 chairs. a huge stone fireplace, 5 mounted animal heads (a Kudu from Africa, 2 Scimitar Horned Oryx from Africa, and an Eland which is the largest North American Antelope at over 1600 pounds), an espresso machine, small refrigerator filled with Miller Lite (Ox Ranch called us before we arrived and ask what we like to drink and then stocked our refrigerator) and some water and soft drinks, and a free bar with Tito’s Vodka, Jack Daniels, Captain Morgan, and Gray Goose. Scattered around our cabin were several antiques including an old fashioned phone that actually worked.

The bathroom had a copper sink, huge soft bath towels that rivaled those found in the best resorts, a toilet and a glass enclosed tile shower with two shower heads. One bedroom downstairs had a very comfy full bed and the loft upstairs had a full bed and two twin beds. The cabin was nicely appointed, clean, and brand new.

Dining at Ox Ranch

After all of those activities the four of us were starving and looking forward to loading back up on some carbs to keep us going. During our visit we enjoyed two delicious dinners, two scrumptious lunches and two great breakfasts.

The Master Chef, Eric, trained at Le Cordon Bleu and specializes in French cuisine, exotic game, and old-fashioned country cooking. The vast majority of the ingredients are sourced from the ranch – wild game, the organic garden, Jersey cows, range chickens, the orchard, and local beehives. Here’s an example of one of the meals that Eric cooked for us:

• a delicious appetizer of roasted poblano and tomatio succulent cornmeal fried oysters with citrus roasted sweet corn – wow, delicious and I begged and pleaded and finally got to devour my youngest grandson’s portions
• a wonderful and perfectly cooked entree of pan roasted chicken breast over wild mushroom orzo topped with dried sherry wine reduction and lemon and white wine broiled asparagus
• desert was a melt in your mouth dark chocolate cake with a braised dark cherry sauce with toasted almonds – good thing there were two of them because the grandson demanded that I repay him for his appetizer

Breakfast and lunch and our other dinner (tender oven roasted pork loin, bacon wrapped quail with raspberry chipotle sauce, green beans wrapped in prosciutto, and pineapple sweet potatoes) were equally delicious. To allow guests to maximize their hunting and activity time, breakfast is served around 9, lunch around 2, and dinner at dark.

Bottom Line

Wow, Ox Ranch has it all – unequalled hunting, luxury accommodations, gourmet dining, first class service, beautiful scenery, plentiful wildlife, and lots of fun things to do. It’s perfect for a hunting trip, a fun weekend getaway, a corporate event or reunion or even a wedding. What are you waiting for – call and book a stay.

What should you wear to go duck hunting in Texas?

1. Camouflage clothing: Wearing camouflage helps you blend into the surroundings, making it harder for ducks to spot you and increasing your chances of a successful hunt. 2. Waterproof boots: Texas weather can be unpredictable, and having waterproof boots ensures your feet stay dry and comfortable throughout the hunt. Wet feet can lead to discomfort and even potential health issues, so it's essential to keep them protected. 3. Insulated jacket: Early mornings in Texas can be chilly, and an insulated jacket provides much-needed warmth. Staying comfortable allows you to focus on the hunt rather than shivering, increasing your chances of a successful outing. 4. Hat with a brim: A hat with a brim not only shields your eyes from the sun but also helps to reduce glare on the water. This improves visibility, allowing you to spot ducks more easily and react quickly. 5. Neoprene gloves: Neoprene gloves provide insulation and protect your hands from the cold water.

Remember, dressing appropriately for duck hunting in Texas not only enhances your comfort but also increases your chances of a rewarding and enjoyable experience.

When hunting ducks in Texas, which hunting methods are generally recommended or popular among hunters?

Duck hunting in Texas primarily involves two favored methods: decoy hunting and jump shooting. Decoy hunting is a popular technique where hunters set up realistic decoys in the water to attract ducks. They position themselves in blinds or camouflaged boats, patiently waiting for ducks to approach the decoys before taking a shot. This method requires careful concealment and a good understanding of duck behavior to ensure success. On the other hand, jump shooting is a more active approach to duck hunting. Hunters quietly navigate through marshes, creeks, or shallow waters, looking for ducks in their natural habitat. When a duck is spotted, the hunter quickly moves into range and takes a shot. This method requires stealth, quick reflexes, and knowledge of the hunting area to effectively surprise the ducks. Both decoy hunting and jump shooting offer unique experiences and challenges for duck hunters in Texas. Decoy hunting allows for strategic planning and patience, while jump shooting provides an adrenaline-filled pursuit. Ultimately, the choice of hunting method depends on personal preference, hunting conditions, and the desired hunting experience.

What are the bag limits for hunting ducks in Texas?

Additionally, there are specific regulations for certain species like pintails, where the daily bag limit is only one per day.
