Texas Duck Hunts

Dirty Texas Outfitter's waterfowl hunts are conducted over industry leading gear, giving hunters the highest opportunity to harvest their limit of birds.

Diversity, that’s how we describe our duck hunts. With many different water sources in our area from freshwater to saltwater, we get a wide range of ducks coming through. It is not uncommon to see Mallards, Pintails, Wigeons, Gadwall, GWT, Canvasbacks,Redheads, Buffleheads, and many more other species.

Includes:

-Bird Cleaning

-Vacuum Sealing

-Federally Tagged Birds for Transport Through Our Cold Storage Facility
