Buck Valley Ranch provides an outstanding hunting experience to all our guests. We have new facilities, abundant game, attentive staff, flexible programs and fair pricing that together give you the great experience you’re looking for.

Hunting is available year round. Click here to find out more about when you can hunt.

Four different hunting plans are offered; one is sure to meet your needs:

• Day hunt

• Ranch-based hunt

• Full service hunt

• Special hunting packages

When you choose a day hunt you pay a small daily hunting fee that provides for your use of ranch facilities and a one-on-one guide. You then pay only for the animals you actually harvest. We guarantee that you will get an opportunity for a shot at the animal you're looking for - if you don't get that opportunity you can return of one additional day of hunting with no daily hunting fee. If you choose to hunt for multiple days you would stay at a hotel or motel in nearby Kerrville or Fredericksburg. You will be responsible to provide your own meals and beverages.

Ranch-based hunts allow your group to stay overnight at Buck Valley Ranch. Up to four people can stay for the same nightly fee. You provide your own food and beverages and pay the daily hunting fee but have access to Buck Valley's great facilities and the convenience of avoiding travel to and from the ranch on a daily basis. You pay only for animals you harvest.

Full service hunts are the ultimate hunting experience at Buck Valley Ranch. For a single daily fee we begin by reserving the entire ranch for you and your group. Use of all ranch facilities, lodging and guide services are all included. Gourmet meals are prepared specifically for your group by our chef. All your beverages are also included. You pay only for the animals you harvest.

Special hunting packages can come in a variety of forms. Typically they combine either a day hunt or a full service hunt with specific animals. These packages offer significant discounts on the prices of individual components but do not include a guarantee of an animal harvest or shot opportunity.

Normally, two hunts are done each day, one beginning before sunrise and ending mid-morning and the second beginning in mid-afternoon and ending at dark.

Our Director of Ranch Operations has extensive hunting experience as well as intimate knowledge of the ranch and our game. Working together with our team of experienced guides your group will fan out among our ten custom built hunting stands and three elevated bow stands to be in position to harvest the game you’re after. Your guide will discuss animal and shot selection with you to make sure your expectations and animal agree. After the kill your guide will help you clean and optionally cape your animal. You may store your animals in our walk-in cooler until your departure or our delivery to a meat processor and taxidermist.

Our pricing policy is as fair as possible. We believe you should pay for only what you receive. Your hunt fee provides you with the use of facilities and should put you in a position to get a good shot at the animal you’re seeking. When you harvest an animal the animal fee pays for the animal based on its value as a trophy.
