What types of gadwall hunting trips are common in Texas?

Duck hunting is the most popular type of hunting for gadwall in Texas as well as goose hunting, hog hunting, and predator hunting.

How much does a Texas gadwall hunting trip cost?

Prices for gadwall in Texas can range anywhere from about $500 to $3,690, but the average price for a half day trip for gadwall in Texas is $1,413. The average price for a full day trip for gadwall in Texas is $2,567.

Is booking a hunting guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a hunting guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced hunting guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is outside every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your backyard, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for gadwall hunting in Texas?

The most popular season for gadwall hunting in Texas is winter, and most hunters book their trips 69 days in advance.

    Absolutely Amazing. Captain Leaf was wonderful in meeting our needs and he has 2 amazing sons Cole and Liam that made our trip very memorable. The boat was Fantastic and the trip was over the top and beating our expectations. We did the Rockport Flounder Gigging trip and we will be seeing them next in Freeport... Thanks again for the amazing trip!

    I recently had the pleasure of going on a Sandhill crane hunting trip with Dawson, and I can't recommend him highly enough! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch, thanks to his exceptional customer service, attention to detail, and professionalism.Right from the initial booking, Dawson was incredibly responsive and accommodating. He took the time to answer all my questions and provided valuable insights about what to expect during the trip. This level of communication made me feel at ease and excited for the adventure ahead.Once we arrived at the hunting location, it was clear that Dawson had put a lot of thought into every aspect of the experience. The equipment was well-maintained, and the setup was efficient and organized. He clearly has a deep knowledge of the area and the best strategies for successful hunting, which added to the overall experience.What truly stood out was his professionalism throughout the trip. Dawson ensured that all safety protocols were followed and took the time to explain the importance of each step. His passion for hunting Sandhill cranes was infectious, and it was evident that he genuinely cares about his clients’ enjoyment and success.Overall, if you're looking for an unforgettable Sandhill crane hunting experience with a guide who prioritizes customer service, attention to detail, and professionalism, look no further than Dawson.

    Trip: Central Texas Duck Hunts

  • ★★★★★
    Overall today was just to hot of a day. We saw a lot of birds and David done everything above and beyond to get us on birds but the birds just weren’t cooperating. But definitely a good time. David did give us a rescheduled hunt and maybe the cold weather and birds will move in. David is definitely the best guided service we have been to and we will definitely be rebooking in the future

    Trip: Baytown Duck Special

  • ★★★★★
    Tough day on the water but was grateful for the effort Clayton put in. He scouted for days before the trip and unfortunately the birds just werent down yet, but he gave us every chance we could get for the birds that were around. Looking forward to hunting with him again in a week or two when more birds are down in central TX.

    Killer early teal hunt. Everyone bagged out and the setup and everything was great. Pretty much a Cadillac hunt with great guides and plenty of ducks. Looking forward to going back

    As a first time duck hunter, I could not have asked for a better guide. He was knowledgeable, professional and made the trip a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend his services!

    Had a blast with Captain Andy. We limited out and he was very helpful and informative to two new waterfowl hunters.

    Trip: Texas Duck Special- B/CS Area

  • ★★★★★
    The team was excellent and we had an hugely successful hunt. My husband and I booked this to celebrate our anniversary and although my husband has hunted a lot, this was my first time. The location we were taken to was great, the decoys and the blind were set up perfectly, and our guide (Jesse) was an EXCELLENT caller! NOTE: we were paired with two other hunters (which we were not expecting - and was not communicated beforehand) and although it worked out fine, just something to be aware of.

    I had a great time after he told me to park my car on the side of the road and it cost me $165 to get it towed out

    Trip: Central Texas Duck Hunts

  • ★★★★★
    Trey makes it extremely straightforward for you to get out there. Even on a self-guided trip the decoys are already set up, the blind is brushed, and the Trey is waiting at the ramp in the boat to take you to the blind and pick you up at the end of your hunt. Couldn’t be easier.

    Trip: Texas Variety Duck Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Dave took my 8 year old son and I out and we had a great time! He did a good job putting us on some ducks despite less than ideal conditions and even less than ideal shooting by me! Already looking forward to getting back out with him later in the season. See you soon, Dave! -Joe D.

    Outstanding hunt with a knowledgeable guide! I highly recommend Andy for your next Texas duck hunt!
