There was a time when finding duck hunting leases in Texas could take months. You had to first “hear” about a site, then you had to either call or visit the site and then you had work out the details, if you could work out the details. All in all, this could be very time consuming and there was never any promise that you would be rewarded for all your hard work.
That has now changed. It is easier today to find the best duck hunting leases in Texas than it ever has been. By doing an online search you can not only find the sites and clubs that are making offers but you can narrow down your search to include only those sites or clubs that meet your prerequisites.
As you probably already know the best hunting is either in the wetlands or on the coast. The wetlands, also known as playas, are a great choice if you are limited to travel and you live a good distance from the coastal sites.
The coastal regions have more sites and they offer more deals than the playa sites, but, again, you have to be able to get to the coast in order to enjoy them.
The above is just one way that you can use the Internet to narrow down your search for the best duck hunting leases in Texas. You can limit your search to the wetlands or playas or you can limit it to the coast.
Duck hunting leases in Texas are available statewide and on various type venues. For those who may be new to duck hunting leases in Texas, in the panhandle, most of the hunting is done on the playas. It should be noted that these areas can become packed with birds during the migration season.

I don’t believe that the nurbmes in this article are correct. $80,000 for hunting rights on 120 acres seems way off the mark. If the hunters got 40 deer from 120 acres which is a really good harvest they would be paying $2,000 per deer. I doubt that you could find clubs willing to pay that fee. D&R Greenway charges for hunting privilages and it expects the hunters to do stewardship work. The income between $7,000 and $8,000 per year is nice and although it would be even nicer to get ten times that much it is more important that the hunters realize that hunting is necessary to achieve a healthy woods and that they are partners in that process. We underscore that feeling by making it clear that if they do not kill enough deer they will not be back next year. I think that if the fee were too high they would not have that feeling and it would be hard to get a harvest that we set or to get stewardship work.
