The Nomad Hunts FAQ’s section is constantly evolving, please check back for updates before your hunt. On a regular basis we are asked the same questions by hunters. So this section will cover some of the most frequently asked questions.
Texas parks and wildlife website has all the information . Your license can be purchased online, or it can be purchased at one of our local retailers. If you buy it online a hard copy will be sent to you in the mail. The state recently passed a bill allowing you to use a picture of the license to show proof instead of a hard copy.
However you will need your hard copy when you harvest you game species. Upon successful harvest the correct tag will be filled out and placed on the animal. The harvest log on the back of the license has to be filled out as well.
The answer is yes. You will be able to purchase a license with out it but the state requires you carry while hunting and a warden will ticket you if you can not produce it when asked.
Our guides will gut skin and quarter your animal. It is the hunters choice to either put it on ice in coolers or take it to a local meat processor. Many states have laws that require specific handling practices before an animal can come across state lines.
Please do your homework as it is not our responsibility to make sure it’s done to your state requirements. We would hate to see you loose the trophy of a lifetime.
We work with one processor who can and will ship meat inside the U.S. however it is not cheap.
Yes we work with a local non profit that uses the donated meat in the local community where it is needed most.
Nomad Hunts use and recommend TNT taxidermy for all of our needs. His work is amazing it’s not the cheapest however his work is amazing when finished. If you choose to use TNT, a deposit is required at drop off and balance upon completion. We will have a price list in our lodge so you can look at his work and prices.
Yes if you shoot an animal and do not recover it the hunter is responsible for the full cost of that animal. Our guides will determine if the animal was hit and that will be the final decision.
Please read through the following information before you join us on your whitetail or exotic hunt. This along with our Nomad Hunts FAQ’s section will and or can change throughout the year. We ask you be up to date with all our policies before arriving to Texas.
Liability waivers have to be signed before we hunt. This ensures that our ranches our guides and you as the hunter are aware that there are risks that come with hunting. If you don’t sign the liability waiver the hunt is over before it begins.
Upon booking a deposit will be required to hold your dates. This deposit is non-refundable and covers our cost in the event you dont show up. We understand that life happens and would be more than willing to adjust your dates if necessary.
Upon completion of the hunt the remaining balance is due. We accept cash ,check, or charge. There is a 3.5% fee on card transactions. If a check failed to cash there is a 30 dollar processing fee and we will notify you in hope of collecting the balance.
Yes we will ask your permission to use your likeness on social media or our website. Some hunters will ask us not to and we will respect the wishes of each person accordingly.
Yes please spend the time before your hunt to ensure the rifle is on target at 100 yds. We can shoot them before or during the hunt to ensure it is still on. In the event that there is a major issue we have a gun shop that we use and they can get it shooting straight, or you can use one of our rifles.
We want you to have an amazing hunt take the time to make sure the moment of truth is successful.
