Team Texas Wild Podcast

What happens when a family that has spent years hunting deer leases makes the jump to Texas Public Land? In this episode of Team Texas Wild, we sit down with Torrey Bingham and his sons, David and Daniel, for a conversation about the challenges, lessons, and strategies that come with hunting public land in Texas.

We talk about what it was like transitioning away from the familiarity of private deer leases and learning how to find success on public ground. From understanding unfamiliar terrain to locating the right travel routes, the Binghams share what they've learned along the way — and how working together as a family has become a major part of their success.

We dive into:

• Making the transition from deer leases to Texas Public Land

• The challenges of learning new public-land properties

• Finding and hunting pinch points and funnels

• Understanding scrapes and how deer use them

• Sharing information and working together as a family

• How one hunter's success can contribute to everyone else's success

• The importance of communication, scouting, and adapting on public land

• Lessons learned from hunting Texas Public Land as a family

n this episode, we discuss East Texas public hunting land managed by the National Park Service and the U.S. Department of the Interior to take a closer look at the hunting regulations and what they mean for hunters. Unlike many public hunting areas, this property has stated that tree stands and hunting blinds are completely prohibited.

That creates a very different hunting experience and forces hunters to rethink how they scout, set up, and hunt whitetails on the property. We cover the details on where these laws came from and what this means for the future.

Early season whitetail hunting in Texas public land can be tough—but knowing when, where, and how to hunt can make all the difference. In this episode, we break down some of our favorite early season Texas whitetail strategies, including hunting acorns, hunting in the rain, food sources, deer movement, scouting, and knowing when to make a move.

Public-land bucks don’t always follow the textbook, and early season conditions can create some unique opportunities. We talk about how changing weather, fresh rain, mast production, and deer behavior can help you put yourself in a better position to encounter a mature Texas buck.

Seeing a young hunter experience the thrill of harvesting her first buck is what hunting is all about. And to make the story even more special, Addi’s first buck turned out to be a Harris County record typical.

A major change could be coming to America’s National Forests.

In this video, we take a look at the USDA’s federal proposal to change protections for inventoried roadless areas on National Forest System lands. The proposal could open some currently protected roadless areas to activities such as road construction, timber harvesting, and other forms of development.

For hunters, wildlife enthusiasts, conservationists, and anyone who enjoys public land, this could have significant implications. Roadless forests provide important habitat for wildlife, offer remote hunting opportunities, and preserve some of the wildest areas remaining on public lands.

We’ll break down what the proposal actually does, why the roadless protections were created, what could change, and what it could mean for places like the Sam Houston National Forest and other National Forest System lands.

Is this an opportunity for better forest management and access—or could it fundamentally change some of our most valuable public lands?

How far would someone go to illegally harvest trophy whitetails? In this video, we examine the Creek Kings poaching case and the events that ultimately led to numerous wildlife law convictions.

We'll break down the investigation, the documented wildlife violations, the methods prosecutors said were used to illegally harvest deer, and how the case serves as a reminder that no trophy is worth breaking the law. 

Whether you're a public land hunter, private land hunter, or simply interested in wildlife conservation, this case highlights the importance of protecting our natural resources and holding those who violate wildlife laws accountable.
