Turkey Hunting around San Antonio

I'm looking for some birds near San Antonio. My wife and I are avid turkey hunters and are looking for some opportunities while we are stationed at Fort Sam. Thanks!

Are you bow or shotgun hunting?

I'm from SA, but have no place in the immediate area. Pretty hard to get a quality place without getting away from the metro a bit. I go 3 hours west for my turkey hunting.

check us out. we have lots of Turkey

We are only 1.5hrs away. 2 birds, private lodging, meals and semiguided hunts for $1200 on 2200 high fenced acres. River, creeks and draws. This is prime Turkey hunting! Contact us 325-347-4905 or bnsoutfitters14@gmail.com

1200 dollars for 2 birds??

What else comes with it?

The hunt comes with private lodging in the Hunter's House, full access to the lodge, professionally prepared meals, guides who place the hunters in previously scouted areas for best chance for birds, etc. Basically, we provide everything but alcohol. Its a great hunt; dont knock it til you try it.

I have 900 acres available in Kimble/Junction TX. Good terrain with pecans and oaks. Creek bottoms and several feeders. This is a weekend lease and there is no camping on the lease. Junction is about 8 miles from the ranch. Let me know if you area interested. Price is $200 per hunter.

Is your lease in the South Zone? Is the price per person per day? How many turkeys/person?

South Zone. $200 per hunter per weekend (all day Saturday and Sunday). One gobbler per hunter per weekend. No charge for hog kills. Your group would be the only group out there that weekend.

What dates do you have available?
Thx

March 23rd, March 30th and April 13th weekends.

That's a good deal. I tell people all the time, especially guys on this forum...YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

Thanks! I really needed that. We work very hard to provide the best hunt possible.

So basically you are paying for the lodge?

Ok, I still think it is crazy talk to pay that much for some birds. You could easily get on a deer lease that allows turkey hunting as well for that price.... but no one would be there to make your meals. Just not for me.

celo2011 I sent you a pm and still no reply.

ooops cleo2011...lol

$1200 isn't bad, it's actually about average for a guided turkey hunt on a decent amount of land.

We offer the same hunt on 10K acres for $1000.

That's true Brandon. Now I'm speaking as a hunter not an outfitter when I say this- by the time you spend $ on gas and your time, scouting, feeding, and making trips to the lease you will spend over $1200. I consider a $1200 turkey hunt a above average higher end hunt, one that is not for everyone. If you can afford it then go for it, I am sure it is worth the price. Sure you can find a turkey hunt on Jose's back 20 acres for $150 and you might kill a bird or 2 but I bet if you spend $1200 on a hunt you will take a lot more home with you than a turkey.


Just my 2 cents.

STXOUTFITTERS, you are so right! Most people do not realize the time we spend in the woods for our clients without pay. Then you also have to figure in stands, feeders, countless hours scouting, trimming brush, etc. When the hunt arrives, there are expenses for food, electricity, staff, and more that most don't consider. The hunt is the easy part, it's all of the prep work that leads up to the hunt that most just seem to forget about.

I, personally, don't make big bucks by doing this. I mainly enjoy the hunt that much. Most of us are that way....if not for the "hunt", we wouldn't do it.

Agreeing with you again...when you figure a $1200 lease, feed, groceries, time lost while working at the lease, setting up a feeder, building blinds, buying groceries for the lease, etc; it really makes you think: Which is REALLY the better deal?

But as mentioned way earlier...its not for everyone.

That's right! Oh and if you can find a decent lease south of San Antonio for $1200 please someone let me know ill snatch that up quick!
If you are in a decent area you will spend at least $2500 on a lease. Your paring to hunt south Tx, there is a reason the price is high.
