Whether you are looking for Whitetail meat for the freezer or just a great ranching experience our professional guides are focused on ensuring each client has a memorable and exciting hunt. For the discriminating bird hunter, Quail and Dove abound for guided well planned hunts or informal hunting to make your hunting experience complete.

A diversified habitat coupled with a working ranch results in an abundance of wildlife and managed exotics. Skeet shooting, bird watching or just relaxing under the 100 + year old oak trees will make your trip a complete Texas retreat.

Had a fantastic time at DEA Ranch this last weekend, we harvested what we came for, saw a wide variety of truly beautiful animals, stayed in a extremely nice lodge and had some of the best food I've come across by their chef.
