Description of TEXAS: Big Bucks & Birds

Fall is an amazing time to be in South Texas. As the weather begins to cool down the wildlife activity starts to heat up. With many of North America’s birds heading south for the winter we will spend a full day photographing these small birds, like green jays, northern cardinals and Pyrrhuloxia and many more. Next we will trade the small birds for the big bucks. We will head to a private photo ranch where we will photograph some of Texas’s largest buck fighting for mating rights.

Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 – Arrive in San Antonio and check into a hotel.

We will meet this evening for dinner and a meet and greet. Here we will also discuss the coming week, photography strategies, logistics, and expectations.

Day 2 – We will leave bright and early for Uvalde, TX where we will spend the whole day photographing birds from photo blinds on a private photo ranch.

This ranch has different blinds set up for both morning and afternoon light, so we will take a lunch break in the middle of the day before heading into the afternoon blind.

After getting our fill of birds we will drive south for our next photo location.

Day 3 – Big Bucks

During this day we will spend another day photographing from photo blinds, however this time our cameras will be focused on deer in rut. This means lots of action.

Day 4 – Big Bucks

We will spend the last morning photographing bucks from blinds before heading back to San Antonio for afternoon flights home.
