Sometime back I remember seeing someone posting they had reasonable priced ram hunts. I am looking for a hunt for my son for this spring or summer. If anyone knows of a good place please let me know so I can start planing for this hunt. Thanks Dave

DB Hunting Ranch is in Bertram, TX (near Austin) http://www.dbhunting.com/

I can highly recommend them for a Ram Hunt for a kid. We took two kids there Sun and shoot two Rams.

The Wildlife Ranch is in Mason, TX and provides Hunts as well: http://www.thewildliferanch.com/hunt.htm

I have not been there so cannot comment but I know others on the THF have.

We went to the wildlife ranch last year it was ok I guess. My son shot a nice Texas Dall ram. I was wanting a better trip for his next hunt. But was not wanting to spend a fortune for his next ram.

Yea take them to DB hunting. That way your kids can hand feed them before they back up and kill them.

Yes sir. Took my son out there and had to explain to him this is not the way we hunt and this was crap and we would not hunt/kill with them again. Also made a marginal shot on a blackbuck that they promised they would find it after we tracked it for 3 hrs. Well never got the buck an invite back or anything. They didn't even try to make it right except to offer me a different skull. I called a few times in a 4 month period and it was one excuse after another until I finally had enough. So yea they put a bad taste in my mouth.

Only got to hunt on one of the places. It was maybe 50 acres. It was pretty small. Their pigs are super wild, but they also were infested with fleas. The blackbuck that I was supposed to shoot someone else shot so we had to go to a different ranch in Kerville.

pigs have fleas....fact of nature

also, if you wound a animal....they in no way, shape or form can guarantee they can find it.

i don't understand how they "could make it right" after you wounded an animal? what did you expect?


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

X2. I dont understand why they would be responsible for a lost animal if they tracked for three hours. Any paid hunt I have been on drawn blood is considered a kill, and in my opinion rightfully so. As a hunter I am responsible for the shot and the outcome of the shot not the outfitter/guide.

What I expect is for them to do what they said they were gonna do. They said they would keep an eye out for it. Even if it was looking out for buzzards. What I expect is a "we found it" or a "we saw it still running around". Either way I would have been fine. But to not even look for it, as they made it very clear that they did not. That is a bad way to run a business. As for the fleas on the pigs. I have never seen fleas on a pig that I have shot. So don't jump on me for expressing my experience because that was not your experience. By the way I also paid for 2 hats that I kept getting excuses on and never received.

I can't speak for the hats, but as far as the wounded game is concerned, we find maybe 10% of the animals that are wounded after the hunters leave. It took a full two weeks for one of my hunter shot deer to pass on next to a water trough. buzzards don't always find the carcasss either. I would expect not to get anything after the animal went unrecovered.

In regards to the pigs and fleas, I've shot pigs that were so flea ridden in the summer time that they were unskinnable. its very common in the hill country

Understand not finding it. But not looking for it when I was assured they would I have a problem with. If I tell someone I'm gonna do something, you bet your a$$ I'm gonna do it. That is what i have a problem with.
