From October through mid-April, this Orvis-endorsed Texas Hill Country sporting destination offers a world-class upland hunting experience for bobwhite quail, pheasant, and chukar. Hunters spend their day walking thoughtfully managed fields, guided by seasoned professionals and accompanied by exceptional pointing and flushing dogs. Morning hunts begin with a hearty breakfast, followed by a thrilling half- or full-day in the field, with each outing delivering nonstop action and high-energy flushes. Guests can choose between classic mule-drawn wagons or Polaris rides to traverse the ranch’s scenic terrain, ensuring comfort as they move between hunting courses.

Midday, hunters often gather under a canopy of towering oak trees to enjoy a chef-prepared lunch outdoors, a highlight of the day when weather allows. After a successful hunt, guests return to the lodge to unwind, relax by the firepit, or enjoy the warm Texas hospitality over evening cocktails and appetizers. With carefully cultivated habitat, expert staff, and unlimited bird opportunities, every hunt is designed to deliver a memorable sporting adventure whether you’re a seasoned wingshooter, a first-time guest, or part of a private or corporate group.

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. From there, a prearranged transfer can be booked to bring you straight to the lodge, ensuring a smooth start to your hunting getaway.
