Here are some of our most common questions and answers, if you don't see what you are looking for, please contact us directly and we will be happy to assist you in person!
Check in is generally from 1 - 3 pm and check out time is by 10am on the final day of your hunt. This will be confirmed by your hunt coordinator prior to your hunt. Need more time or need to leave early? Just ask, we can typically accommodate special requests.
Yes, yes and yes. We can typically accommodate larger groups and longer stays with some notice as our lodge can sleep up to 18 people. There are over 25 species on the ranch and while hunting one, you may see something you just can't pass up and our guides will be able to assist with costs on animals prior to shooting! We strive to accommodate our guests requests whenever possible.
The closest commercial and international airport is San Antonio (SAT) and is located approximately 2.5 hours away. There are several private airports in the region with Garner Field in Uvalde, TX (UVA) being the one we recommend, it is approximately 40 minutes away. If you need transfer from an airport to the ranch we can assist with that.
The weather will vary with the season and has the potential for extreme changes day to day. For both our hunters and non-hunters we recommend camouflage clothing for the highest chance of seeing animals (any pattern will do). If you don't have camo, don't sweat it, solid earth tone colors are the next best thing. There is always a chance for rain in the region so we recommend a light rai coat and multiple layers. Once you determine what and when you are hunting, your hunt coordinator can assist you further on specifics you may need.
It all depends on what you want to shoot! Our trophy whitetail hunts are best between November and January and the weather is nice and crisp, perfect for deer. However, each species of deer on the ranch (fallow, red, axis, whitetail) have their own peak times. Additionally, the various exotic species can be hunted year round so you aren't beholden to a specific season. We recommend hunting all year long, however, the hottest and driest months are typically June, July and August.
We offer both a la carte options as well as hunt packages. Our packages typically include both a trophy fee as well as your daily rates, while the a la carte options will have those fees seperate. Standard items NOT included in our hunts are State of Texas Hunting License, Taxidermy, Meat Processing and Tips for your guides and staff.
Although we don't offer this on the ranch, we can recommend several processors in the area, some of which will even freeze and ship your meat to you. We do offer free delivery to our preferred processor, "Uvalde Meat Market & Processing".
A Texas RESIDENT general hunting license costs $25 (a youth resident license costs $7).
A Texas NON-Resident general hunting license costs $315.
IF you are hunting an exotic species on the ranch, you will also have to purchase the Special Small Game/Exotic Hunting license which costs $132.00.
There is an option for a 5-day exotic license which only costs $48.00
More information can be found at https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/hunt/ and additionally, your hunt coordinator will assist you to make sure you have the correct license for your hunt!
Tips are not required, but they sure are appreciated by our guides and staff and they strive to make sure you have an amazing time while you are at the property. Industry standard is 10% - 15% of your hunt cost, but again, a tip is the way for you to let the staff, guides, cooks know if they did a good. We value your feedback and compliments and complaints and if there is anything that we did amazing OR if there is anything we can improve on, we want to hear about it.
At the time of booking, a 50% deposit is required to reserve your requested time frame. A week prior to your hunt arrival, the remainder of the balance is due. Payments can be made by cash, ACH, check or credit card. Please note that out hunts are advertised as a cash price, credit cards will have an additional 3% fee at time of processing. If you end up deciding to hunt additional animals during your stay, we will get you all settled up in the evening of those hunts. Tips can also be processed on a credit and will be split amongst staff as per client request.
