Whitetail deer hunting is popular in South Texas. If you're looking for an adventure with family or a group, or if you'd like guided or semi-guided hunts with no trophy, kill or other hidden fees, then the folks with South Texas Hunting Club have a package that should fit your budget. Charlie Harris, the expert guide at the South Texas Hunting Club said it best, "If you want to kill a trophy whitetail--you have to go where trophy whitetail live--South Texas."

Bowhunters in the Houston area have organized the Salt Grass Archery Club. In addition to being able to practice on an excellent archery range, many members regularly hunt deer, turkey and more at the Sherwood Forest Hunting Club, a lease near Cotulla.
