What's within a couple hours

Houston hunters have unusually varied options inside a two-hour drive. North and east into the Piney Woods you're in timber-country whitetail and heavy hog ground along the Trinity and Neches. West toward the Brazos bottoms is mixed ag and river bottom — good deer, outstanding hogs, and dove over cut fields.

South and southwest toward Eagle Lake, Garwood, and the coastal prairie is some of the best waterfowl country in Texas, with rice fields and prairie potholes that pull ducks and geese all winter.

Picking a direction

If you want to hunt often, stay inside ninety minutes — the leases east and north are cheaper and closer, even if the deer are smaller. If you're after a trophy-class whitetail, you're driving southwest to the brush country, and that's a three-to-four-hour trip each way.

Waterfowl leases near the coast book earlier in the year than deer leases do, so plan on a summer search for a winter season.
