I hunted in various states in the southwest , but never texas. I have heard that, due to the majority of private land in texas; the more you pay the better the hunting.
Well one tip obviously would be to be proficient with the weapon of your choice. Books, I'm sure they are out there, but I never read them. Not saying they wouldn't help. One tip that I believe helped me was hunting with people that were willing to help me learn. In my case it was my Grandpa and Dad. I now hunt with my Son and Grandchildren. So if you have friends or can make friends that like to hunt and have some experience, if they are willing they can be very helpful. Trial and error is going to be a big teacher. As with lots of things there are lots of different ways to hunt and they don't all work for each individual. And please understand I love to hunt but I don't claim to be a great hunter. Get out there, put your time in and have fun.
Buy good equipment to start with. Without it frustration is guaranteed.Looking for tips to help me be more successful in the field, throw anything out there I have a lot to learn, rifle, bow, rocks it don't matter. If you could only buy one book on how to be a better hunter which one would it be? Thanks, newby
