Look for animal signs. Tracks, scat, feathers and nests left behind often tell interesting stories. Hunting Both McFaddin and Texas Point Refuges provide popular waterfowl hunting opportunities for the public. Portions of both refuges are open seasonally for waterfowl hunting. Fishing Fishing and crabbing can be good on both refuges but varies greatly with the time of year and water conditions.
Fishing is permitted only with pole and line, rod and reel, or hand-held line.
Firearms, bows, and other weapons are prohibited, except during special hunts. Cased and unloaded weapons may be transported through the refuge on travel routes. Overnight camping is not allowed on the refuge. Volunteering at the Refuge Volunteers are needed year round to help with construction projects, general facilities maintenance, biological monitoring, and sign posting.
