How to Hunt Texas Whitetail Deer
Whitetail Deer Hunting In Texas Just Like on TV
Mel Alford climbed into the deer blind with a grunt or two to spare. "Ain't as young as I used to be," he muttered as he settled in. But using deer box stands is how to hunt Texas whitetail deer without walking for miles. Or at least one way to do so.|

"Used to be I'd do some antler rattlin' near where the big bucks were known to feed," he said to his hunting partner. Without taking his eyes of the field where the deer had been feeding yesterday. "I remember one buck who fell for that down in South Texas. The old boy had some neck from hauling around a huge rack. And caution wasn't on his mind when the heard that antler rattling let me tell you." |
"Bleating like a doe don't hurt none either. It can seal the deal for a skittish buck. Who senses something isn't quite right, but doesn't want to miss a chance to breed either."
Mel continued, "I've seen calling bucks like that work real well on those TV hunting shows. The buck appears on cue. BAM. The 165 grain bullet is sent on it's way. End of story. Cut to the damn commercial."
"But you gotta sell rattling and calling", he noted. "Gotta trust that approach of whitetail deer hunting in Texas or when on South Carolina trophy deer hunts or some other gawd-forsaken place. Because believe it or not deer are really a vocal lot. Whether it's a lost fawn, or a doe in heat or a buck snorting or grunting at the sight of a competitor."
So if you're wondering how to hunt Texas whitetail deer, there you have it. Straight from a seasoned hunter with more than one wall hanger in the family room.
