Wildlife Systems offers two different turkey hunting packages. Our most common turkey hunting package is an all-inclusive arrangement that provides you with guide (2×1), meals, lodging, airport shuttle (conditional), and game care. Some of our packages are 2-bird packages, while others include 1 bird.

We also offer a limited number of “unassisted” turkey hunts where hunters essentially do their own thing. On most of these hunts, hunters either camp out or stay in town in a motel. This is a no frills deal, but the hunting is great, with hunters enjoying high success hunts.

Licenses are unlimited, over the counter licenses, where no drawing or lottery is required. Nonresident spring turkey hunting licenses are $126, unless you purchased a general non-resident license during the previous fall, and then you only pay for a $7.00 Upland Bird Stamp Validation. There are no age restrictions in Texas, and youth licenses are only $7.00 for a Texas hunting license. You can simply fill out our Hunter Profile form and send that back to us your license fees, and we will have your hunting license waiting for you, or you can procure the license yourself at TPWD.

Our Texas spring turkey hunting season essentially runs from the third weekend of March through the second weekend of May. Our southern Texas turkey hunting zone starts two weeks prior to our north zone and ends two weeks earlier than the north zone.
