I went in April once and the run and gun hunt was way over.  Birds had been hunted hard before I got there. They wanted us to sit in blinds and deer hunt them.  Not a great hunt.  Just ask your outfitter particular questions
regarding the hunt experience your seeking

I live in WV and that has been a favored poacher tactic for many years.  I would rather not hunt if I had to do it that way.

I'm planning a hunt in Texas

What part of Texas, this makes a big difference.

I would be hunting in the southern part of Texas

I was on the Oklahoma Wildlife Dept. website trying to find the new non-resident regulations for turkey next spring. Noticed they've added a new $100 Non-Resident Game Bird permit for non-residents hunting game birds on WMAs. That effectively makes Oklahoma $349 for a single turkey.

Non-resident annual hunting - $209
Non-resident turkey - $40
Non-resident game bird permit - $100

For a total of $349! To my knowledge, the most expensive tag for a single turkey to date. This bypasses Arkansas's $325.


You can view the non-resident license prices here:

And the new Game Bird Permit regulation here:

The madness knows no end. Other states will take notice and respond accordingly in the future.

And to think a certain subset of turkey hunters helped bring this upon us all. Sad, sad, sad!

I think it's another fee to hunt the public access private land as well.

I'm planning a hunt in Texas this spring.  I spoke with an outfitter in south Texas and he recommended that I schedule my hunt for the 1st week of April.  I originally chose Texas because of the March opener.  I've never hunted Texas before and I've never hunted with an outfitter.  I was Hoping to hear what y'all thought about that.  Maybe the hens are sittin and the gobblers are desperate?  I'm not sure but I'm paranoid about getting ripped off.  I appreciate any advice.  Thank you

What part of Texas, this makes a big difference.
