About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedCalhoun County anchors the mid-Texas coast between Lavaca Bay and Matagorda Bay, where tidal marshes, coastal prairie, and the Guadalupe River delta concentrate impressive numbers of wintering waterfowl. Teal season in September kicks off a calendar that runs through late January with redheads, pintails, and mottled ducks working shallow bays and rice field margins. Inland, white-tailed deer roam brushy coastal prairie pastures on private ranches with growing trophy potential.
Low-lying coastal plain with saltwater and freshwater marshes, tidal flats along Lavaca and Matagorda Bays, Guadalupe River delta wetlands, and flat to gently rolling coastal prairie inland with mesquite brush pastures.
Moderate to high for waterfowl during peak season. Guadalupe Delta WMA draws significant pressure on opener days. Deer hunting on private coastal prairie sees moderate pressure.
Standard statewide antler restrictions apply. OTC tags available. Coastal prairie deer can carry quality antlers in the mesquite brush country.
Exceptional waterfowl including redhead, pintail, blue-winged teal, and resident mottled duck. Sandhill crane seasons attract hunters to coastal prairies. Alligators huntable by permit. Fishing for speckled trout and redfish complements hunting trips.
Guadalupe Delta WMA and the surrounding Matagorda Bay system rank among the top mid-coast waterfowl destinations on the Texas Gulf Coast. September teal season draws hunters from across the state to the coastal marshes.
