Nestled in the oak covered hills of North Central Texas, the hunts are conducted fair chase - on foot, safari style, or in stands (hunters choice). A combination of open pasture and thick brush offer excellent escape cover for animals and a challenge for the Hunter.

In the event that no game is harvested, only a daily guide fee and lodge and meal expense will apply. We have a lodge that comes complete with Satellite TV.
