Thunderbird Hunting Club offers the serious waterfowl hunter, whether a highly experienced hunter or someone just developing a passion for waterfowl hunting, the opportunity to hunt waterfowl along the Texas Gulf Coast under near perfect conditions. That does not mean you will be guaranteed limits of ducks or geese on every hunt but it does mean you will have the opportunity on every hunt to hunt with hunters who love the outdoors and waterfowl hunting, to participate in the camaraderie associated with waterfowl hunting, of watching early on a “ducky”  type of morning a flock of newly arriving ducks responding to your call and decoying into your decoys, of watching the  lab sitting beside you shiver with excitement as he keeps a intense lookout for the next flock of ducks and  most importantly of knowing that every effort has been made to insure habitat conditions are the best they can be considering variations in weather from season to season so  that every hunter has a positive hunting experience.

Having been hunting at the Club for 33-years, I have some perspective on how it has changed over time. When I started, we never would have imagined the modern outfitting that has ensued and led to the massive unionization of decoys, trickery motion decoys of all sorts,  fast-grass pop-up blinds, portable chairs and gun stands, and go-anywhere ATV's with tractor-like tires. A totally mobile crusade the Club campaigns every morning in their quest for birds, wherever they may want to be. After two days at the club with my two sons who both grew up hunting there, I am pleased to say the culture of the Club seems healthier than ever. Even compared to my last visit in 2018, there seems to be richer comradeship, more welcoming of new members and more cooperation in allocating the duck hunting resource -- even as the passion for building habitat and harvesting birds is stronger than ever. Bravo to what the Thunderbird managers have built!

I have hunted waterfowl for over 50-years. Since coming to Texas 16 years ago, I have hunted with many different clubs and outfitters. We had some good hunts and some great hunts, but it was never consistent. Also, in some clubs, the guides would pick the best ponds and the members either hunted with the day hunters (sometimes 10-12 in a blind) or the members got the left over and over-shot spots.  I’d like to thank you and your entire team for your dedication and effort that make Thunderbird successful. It is by far, the best and most consistent hunting of my life. This club is first class and it shows in the quality of the properties and the professional and fair way the members are treated. No one gets preferential treatment (except landowners and PLEASE keep them happy).  I don’t know how many more years I have to hunt, but God willing, I will be spending them with Thunderbird as long as y’all will have me.
