From late fall through spring, this premier Texas Hill Country sporting lodge showcases the timeless European tradition of driven pheasant shooting, brought to life against a backdrop of rugged limestone bluffs and rolling ridges. Carefully designed drive sites take full advantage of the dramatic terrain, sending wave after wave of strong-flying pheasants high above the line of guns. Each drive is orchestrated by seasoned guides, blending heritage and precision with the excitement of challenging, overhead shots that test even the most experienced wingshooters.

The day begins with a hearty breakfast at the lodge before guests move into the field, where drives unfold with a rhythm of anticipation and exhilaration as birds soar overhead in thrilling numbers. Between drives, shooters enjoy refreshments and camaraderie, often pausing at scenic vantage points overlooking the Hill Country. Evenings return guests to the lodge, where fireside cocktails, chef-prepared meals, and warm hospitality complete the experience. Combining Old World tradition with Texas character, these driven shoots deliver a one-of-a-kind sporting adventure for private parties, corporate groups, or individuals seeking an unforgettable hunt.

Accommodations here perfectly balance rustic elegance with refined comfort, creating a retreat that feels both luxurious and inviting. Guests can choose from well-appointed lodge rooms, cozy private suites, or expansive multi-bedroom ranch houses like the Guadalupe Tree Haus, which features river views, outdoor porches, and even a small pool and hot tub. Whether traveling solo, as a couple, or in a large group, every option is designed to provide comfort after an action-packed day afield, with amenities including Wi-Fi, satellite TV, scenic patios, and convenient access to the lodge’s social spaces.

Dining is an experience of its own. Seasonal gourmet meals are crafted by skilled chefs and served with thoughtful presentation ranging from hearty breakfasts to four-course evening dinners that often feature wild game specialties. On pleasant days, guests enjoy lunch beneath a canopy of centuries-old oak trees, while cooler evenings invite fireside appetizers and cocktails in the lodge’s warm, welcoming atmosphere. Every meal, from hearty mains to homemade desserts, is prepared from scratch, offering a relaxed and satisfying dining experience that pairs perfectly with a day in the field. Combined with impeccable service and scenic Hill Country surroundings, this lodge delivers a stay that’s as memorable and comfortable as the time spent in the field.

Getting to this Texas Hill Country sporting lodge is simple and flexible. Guests can fly private directly to the ranch’s airstrip for the most convenient arrival, or choose to fly commercially into San Antonio International Airport, located about 45 minutes away.
