Wife and I are doing our retirement planning and part of that is looking at where we want a winter home when we do the snow bird thing from Alaska. We are looking at something in East Texas, and in the next several years will be making several trips to check out places and start the process of looking for land to buy and eventually build on. One of our biggest wants is a place 100+ acres that we can hunt deer, dove, hogs, and hopefully turkey's on. With all that in mind, what I am hoping folks here can help with is suggestions for areas to look, hunting pages like T-man I should start looking at, and any suggestions for land realtors to start checking out. Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

Look at south-east Arizona, too. The most incredible bird hunting I have ever experienced. Javalina, mule deer, Coues whitetail, coyotes beyond count
Made it almost 3 years without censor!

I would, but the wife wants to be able to get to the ocean within about 2-4 hours driving. No way I am doing that in AZ.

178 views so far and nothing but Alaskan's posting. No Texans around here?

Yep, there's some Texans on here but East Texas as you posted is like a "whole other country" to some of us.
Sit on your horse on top of a ridge, look out across the country and tell me there is no God.

Deer, Ducks, hogs, and Beaver that is east Texas. Deep East Texas (Nacadoches) is still pretty reasonable on land prices and with the National Forests the hunting possibilities are endless

Sam Houston National Forest, The Sabine and Angelina National Forests are in east Texas. I would get at least 1.5 hours north out of Houston and the same south of Dallas. If you find Centerville on a map and draw 100 mile radius, that a pretty good area and the land is reasonable. We have circled Lufkin as a starting point and will go from there. Probably head down a couple times to spend a couple weeks and drive around to check stuff out. -TJ

I've been looking at that EXACT same area for 2 years while I formulate my Illinois Exit Strategy!. Looks like it's filling up so you might want to get something quick. My Nephew lives in Houston and says there are fights over public land hunting. He also said people have been buying large tracts and starting a feeding program for deer and hogs. When they get to feeding a lot of game they hire 40 or 50 guys and they build a high fence around it as fast as possible. Presto chango - now it's a hunting club. LA is looking better all the time me. I have noticed the prices going up some for a while. Everything's filling up.
Just passin through
