you could also go for the wild hogs and exotics like black buck, adad (spelling?), axis deer, fallow deer, etc in texas...i think they are open for a good while...its been a while since ive looked into them..also quail and grouse and chipmunk all make good sport and challenging shots. as far as tastes i only know of the grouse and quail as being good eating. wouldnt eat the chipmunks, thats more of population control. and ive never hunting wild hogs or the exotics of texas just heard/read about them.
