Wild Bobwhite & Scaled Quail: Some of the best hunting in west Texas for native wild quail is right here on the ranch. We have Bobwhite and Scaled (Blues). The terrain is ideal, with brushy cover and good “edge". It is a country for good bird dogs, which we'll provide with guides, or you may bring your own. You may choose from a fully-catered, all-inclusive packaged hunt, a day hunt, a seasonal or annual lease - or we will customize a package to meet your specific needs.
Mourning Dove, Duck, Sandhill Crane & Turkey: Mourning Dove are abundant in this area. We also have Water Fowl—such as Mallards and Teal—as well as fishing. We are located on a Sandhill Crane flyway with roosting areas along Mustang Draw—where you may see thousands of Sandhill Crane. Rio Grande Turkey are native to this area as well, and even roost by the Lodge and along the Colorado River.
Rifle Hunts
Native Whitetail Deer: We have a good buck to doe ratio. You may harvest Management or Trophy bucks and hunt with bows, legal shotguns or rifles. We manage the populations of deer with hunting limits set by our game manager with your enjoyment for many return visits in mind.
There are 50,000 acres on the two L.S. McDowell Ranches, much of which have deer, quail and other game. Along the upper Colorado River in Borden County, TX are 16,000 acres of Rolling Plains where most of the seasonal and annual leases are located (including fishing). There are 34,000 additional acres on the Glasscock and Howard County Ranch where the Lodge, packaged hunts and some seasonal leases are located.
