Texas Public Land Success, Family & Whitetails | The Bingham Family Story
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

ALL Hunting Stands and Blinds BANNED? | New Regulations for Texas Public Land
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.

Rain, Acorns & Big Bucks: Early Season Whitetail Strategy
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.
