FAQs

What guests ask us first.

How many hunters per trip?

One to three. We run one group at a time, so the property is yours for the trip.

Do you offer rifle hunts?

Regular whitetail hunts are archery-only. Limited rifle opportunities are reserved for January and focus on introducing youth hunters. Ask directly if that fits your group.

Can I hunt axis deer or turkey too?

Yes — axis deer may be harvested when available for an additional fee, and turkey and dove come in during their seasons. Talk to us about combining species on your trip.

What's the lodging situation?

Two options. A refined Hill Country lodge (king suites, private baths, wine-country adjacent) or the ranch's historic Texas cowboy quarters. Tell us your preference at booking; we'll do our best to match it.

Are non-hunting guests welcome?

Yes. Fredericksburg wineries, Wildseed Farms, fishing the Blanco and Little Blanco rivers and the lodge itself all give non-hunting guests plenty to do while the hunters are out.

Is there fishing on the ranch?

Yes, and it comes with every stay. We have private and public access to the Blanco and the Little Blanco rivers. The main catches are longnose gar, bass (largemouth and Guadalupe) and sunfish. Bring a rod, or ask and we will sort you out.

Do I need a Texas hunting license?

Yes — every hunter needs a valid Texas hunting license. Purchase it online at Texas Parks & Wildlife or through a local licensed retailer before you arrive.

What about deposits and cancellations?

Deposits are non-refundable, but may be transferred to another available date at the outfitter's discretion. We'll make reasonable efforts to accommodate a rescheduled trip; alternate dates depend on availability.

How much for an extra night?

An extra night of meals and lodging is $200 per guest per night. Perfect if you want to fold a wine-country day into the trip.

How far in advance should we book?

Rut-window and November dates fill first. If you have a specific week in mind, reach out early — but we'll always tell you honestly what's open.
