There is nothing quite like the thrill of the hunt; seeing the game, tracking it down and then coming home with a trophy to hang on your wall. And, a good class hunting location has the ability of turning an ordinary trip into an experience you will never forget.
Texas happens to have some of the best hunting areas in the country; it has a wide expanse of premium hunting grounds unsurpassed in character and beauty abounding with game, both small and big. Here are three places you should visit when in Texas:
Stasney’s Cook Ranch in Albany, Texas – it has over 25,000 acres with plenty of vegetation ensuring that there is always available game. It also possesses limestone deposits in deep valleys and craggy canyons so you are surrounded by beauty as well. The accommodations are great as well including king size beds and working fireplaces in each room. Hunting in this area is always an unforgettable experience that you will want to repeat over and over.
Next on the list is the Rancho Caracol located in Brownsville, Texas; well hidden among the foothills that overlook Mexico’s Lake Las Alazanas and next to the largest white wing nesting colony on earth. Guests can stay in luxurious beach resort type of haciendas with maid service, a roof top bar and hot tub, with gourmet food available as well. With different species of birds including quail and dove every hunt includes seasoned guides, well trained dogs and they will provide the Berettas, you can even take two with you for a truly Tarantino type inspired experience.
And for a truly “big and posh” Texas experience you have to visit the LaFonda Ranch in Brackettville, Texas. You will begin by landing on the illuminated airstrip and have free rein over 8,000 rugged acres of good Texas countryside. It does not matter if you are hunting quail, whitetail, Rio Grande turkey or anything else you will definitely return to the 27,000 foot lodge with a huge smile on your face and some kind of game in your hands. The lodge has a full time in-house chef and a swimming pool for relaxing; of course for even more relaxing you can head over to their lake stocked with fish between your reloads or check out the rifle range to hone your aim even more.
