Would you like to go duck hunting on the Texas Gulf Coast? Or in the flooded-timber of East Texas?

Well you don’t have to choose just one. You can do both hunts if you win the Big Time Texas Hunts Waterfowl Adventure. Here’s Texas Parks and Wildlife’s Private Lands and Public Hunting Program Director Justin Dreibelbis to tell you more.

One hunt is on the coastal prairies where you’re going to be hunting ducks and geese. The other area that you’ll be duck hunting will be in flooded-timber in East Texas. Here you’re going to be focusing on some different species like Wood Ducks and Mallards. You’re hunting with trained guides, trained dogs. Meals, lodging, all taken care of. Both of these hunts are really high quality waterfowl hunts that any duck hunting enthusiast is going to be excited about.

You and up to three guests can enjoy this excellent waterfowl adventure with hunting providers Central Flyway Outfitters and BigWoods on the Trinity.

We hear every year that hunters from Big Time Texas Hunts are returning to hunt with these outfitters again and again.

Don’t miss your opportunity to win. Enter online today at the Texas Parks and Wildlife website. Just search for Big Time Texas Hunts.

Often times if you’re not careful, they see you or hear you long before you see them.

Justin Dreibelbis is the Private Lands and Public Hunting Program Director at Texas Parks and Wildlife. He’s talking about Nilgai Antelope, an exotic game species in South Texas that’s included in one of ten premium Big Time Texas Hunts.

The Nilgai Antelope Safari is a really cool opportunity. You’re hunting on a historic South Texas Ranch. You’re staying at a really cool camp, really delicious food. You’ve got an experienced guide that’s there to help you through every step of the process, from finding the animal, taking a great shot, and then helping you with game care after the fact and that’s a really important point for Nilgai because they’re really big animals.

Animals that can top 700 pounds. Now that’s some big game. You could win the Nilgai Antelope Safari by entering online for $9. There’s a $5 online administration fee, but you can enter as many times as you want in a single transaction.

Big Time Texas Hunts is a conservation fundraiser. It’s a fun opportunity every year for people to put in and have a chance at something really, really special, to make money for wildlife conservation and public hunting opportunities.

It’s hard to find a hunt that will make your eyes wider and your heart beat faster than looking for alligators in the swamps of East Texas.

American Alligators are a really a conservation success story.

Justin Dreibelbis [Dry-bul-bis] is the Private Lands and Public Hunting Program Director at Texas Parks and Wildlife.

Their populations were very low not very long ago. We now have huntable populations in a number of different places and especially in the Eastern part of our state.

Managing those populations is necessary, and now you have a chance to participate in this conservation effort by entering the Big Time Texas Gator Hunt. One lucky winner and their guest will enjoy three days pursuing legendary alligators at the premier J.D. Murphree Wildlife Management Area.

With the Big Time Gator Hunt, the winner and a hunting guest will be able to enjoy a lot of time out on the airboat with the WMA staff. Be able to get assistance cleaning their gators and also get the opportunity to squeeze in an early Teal hunt, which is a cool opportunity there on the coast.

Like all Big Time Texas Hunts, food and lodging is provided along with on-site transportation and expert guides. To enter online, just go to the Texas Parks and Wildlife website and search for Big Time Texas Hunts.
