About Us
We manage more than 200,000 acres of prime Texas hunting ground in Motley, Dickens, Crosby, and Kent Counties. Our diverse terrain provides excellent hunting opportunities for you and range from cedar breaks with canyons to mesquite flats and shinnery ridges to river bottoms and plum thickets.
We have excellent game and hunting on all ranches, as we have harvested 3 Boone & Crockett (over 170BC) deer and several in the 160 BC class.
The ranches provide excellent quail hunting as our numbers of birds are very consistent and we provide you with a great opportunity for success during your hunt.
We provide lodging, meals, transportation and guides on our ranches to help you focus on hunting during your trip. We practice intensive game management on these ranches to provide you with the best opportunity to harvest a trophy deer during your hunt. Size of the deer range from 150 to 200 pounds due to the excellent nutrition programs implemented and excellent genetics.
We also have some of the best Texas turkey hunting hunting in the state featuring Rio Grand Turkeys. The size and number of the turkey provide great opportunities.

Quail Hunting by Rustler Creek Outfitters
West Texas provides the best quail hunting - because of the excellent quail habitat. We have some of the best quail hunting in the country. Our quail populations continue to rise each year, and this last year quail had a double hatch, making this a dream season for quail on our ranches.
Our bobwhite quail coveys range from 20 to more than a hundred birds, and our well-trained dogs provide much excitement for hunters during their hunt. Quail populations in Georgia and South Texas have declined in the last year from loss of habitat and red ants, who have been known to decimate coveys in their struggle for survival. Our ranches are experiencing record numbers of quail and quail hunters will see anywhere from 12 to 20 coveys per day.
You will be hunting quail behind well-trained bird dogs on fields and we also have quail feeders on areas of our ranches.We recommend using a 7 ½ shot shotgun load while quail hunting. It is okay for you to bring your own bird dogs as well during your hunt. Our goal is to provide you with an excellent and enjoyable hunt. There is no better sound than hearing the thud of a bobwhite quail you shot, and a bird dog bringing the quail to you in seconds.
If you get your limit in the morning, don't worry. We have plenty of other hunting opportunities in the afternoon
The Texas Panhandle offers excellent quail habitat and some of the best quail hunting in the state of Texas. We have had excellent rains in the spring and early summer so we are expecting great numbers of quail this year.
On our 3-day guided quail hunt you will see between 12 and 20 coveys per day. We have more than 200,000 acres of prime quail habitat which enables us to rotate fields throughout the season. You will hunt behind trained English Pointers and Brittany Spaniels in the field.
The majority of the quail hunt will be spent walking in the fields - so we recommend being in top physical shape for your hunt, and we can also customize your hunt to allow hunting from ATV's or Jeeps to fit the physical needs of each hunter.
Rate: $750.00 per person
Duck and Geese Hunts
We have several large lakes on our property which make for excellent duck hunting and geese hunting. You will be duck hunting near the water under pop-up blinds with decoys set up to ensure success during your guided hunt. The majority of the ducks you will see will be mallard and pintail.
On the majority of Rustler Creek duck hunts you will reach your limit of ducks during the morning. Combination hunts of geese, deer, quail or hogs are available in the afternoon hours.

Rio Grande Turkey
We offer excellent turkey hunting as we have one of the highest populations of Rio Grande turkeys in the state. Experience the thrill of calling in a mature spring gobbler in one of our pastures or food plots or canyon. These turkeys have big gobblers and little hunting pressure, making your hunt a lifetime experience.
We offer fully-guided or semi-guided turkey hunts for spring turkey. Last year we had nearly a 200 percent success rate on our ranches.
Guided 3 day/2 night hunts are $850.00 (2 turkeys included)
Semi-Guided 3 day/2 night hunts are $750.00 (2 turkeys included)
Trophy Whitetail Deer & Mule Deer Hunts
We offer fully-guided whitetail hunts and semi-guided hunts as you will pursue Panhandle Trophies from a stand over wheat fields, food plots, river bottoms, and feeders or using spot-and-stalk on one of our ranches.
Our fully-guided Mule Deer Hunts for use spot-and-stalk or hunt from ATV's or vehicles for transportation on our ranches through rugged canyons and river-bottoms. We have some of the largest mulies in the state as we strictly manage our property to maintain a population of mature trophies.
The whitetail deer this year are enormous!
The majority of the whitetail bucks harvested range from 110 to 130 B&C with trophy potential at bucks in the 160 and 170 class. Our massive bucks often weigh more than 200 pounds. Wild hog hunting and varmint hunting is included in the price of your hunt as well as opportunity arises.
Many of the mule deer will range in the 140 B&C range. Spreads are commonly 22+ inches on these mule deer. There will be a significant amount of hiking in pursuit and we recommend you be physically fit to enjoy your hunt. We still have a few remaining hunts for the 2004 season.
Call for pricing.
Lodging
We have several different lodges we utilize to accomodate you during your hunt based upon the desired game you wish to pursue during your hunt. These lodges are both comfortable and accomodating to you as you are our guest during your hunt. After a day of hunting with our Texas hunting guides, you will enjoy the confortable and relaxing lodging that awaits you near the hunting area.
We also have several hunting leases! Contact us for availability!
