Yes, You Can Do This: Affordable USA Hunts Are Closer Than You Think...

Affordable Hunting In Texas USA

If you've ever sat back and watched hunting videos from North America, thinking, "That looks incredible, but I'll never be able to afford it," — it’s time to rethink that.

The truth is, you can. And you don’t need a massive budget or an outfitter with luxury tents and gourmet meals. You need a clear plan, the right connections, and the willingness to make it happen. One of the best examples? A whitetail hunt in Texas.

A Genuine, Affordable Hunt in Texas

Bruce Hunnicutt runs Texas Hog Hunting Outfitters in northeast Texas, and he offers some of the most affordable whitetail hunts in the U.S. His operation is honest, down-to-earth, and built for hunters who want to get it done without blowing the bank.

For just $2,500 USD, you’ll get:

• 4 nights’ accommodation onsite — clean, comfortable, and fully equipped

• Deer stands (rifle and archery setups)

• Timed feeders running twice daily

• Basic processing, meat storage, and caping of your buck

• Hot showers, flushing toilets, kitchen facilities

• Rifle hire available if needed

It’s a 2–3 hour drive from Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) Airport, so you’ll rent a car, grab supplies from local supermarkets at Mount Pleasant Texas, and be in the stand by afternoon. No expensive bush flights or remote chopper rides — just straightforward, DIY-style hunting with support where it counts.

What You'll Need

A non-resident Texas hunting license and deer tag is around $360 USD, and the team will help you through the process. (you will need some form of hunted ED like R-Lic from NSW) If you’re bringing a rifle from Australia, make sure your paperwork is in order, but Bruce also has rifles onsite if you'd rather travel light. (no requirements to bring a bow except airline approved bow case and broad-head protection box/case)

Nearby taxidermists can clean skulls, tan hides, or get your trophy started for export. And if you want to keep meat for a Texas BBQ before flying out — he’s got you covered.

Flights from Australia to Dallas with Qantas range from $1,500–$3,000 AUD, depending on the time of year. Hunt seasons usually run:

• Early October for archery

• Early November for rifle

Why This Hunt Makes Sense

This is the type of hunt that makes dreams a reality. It’s not about chasing 200" deer behind high fences or lounging in a five-star lodge. It’s real hunting — in a ground blind or tree stand, heart pounding as that Texas buck steps out.

You get the satisfaction of making it happen on your own. And trust me, once you do it the first time, you’ll realise hunting the US isn’t a fantasy — it’s just a well-planned adventure away.
