Whitetail & Exotic Hunt — Y.O. Ranch, Texas Hill Country

The Y.O. Ranch near Kerrville is one of the most storied ranches in American hunting history — a 40,000-acre legacy operation that has hosted hunters and dignitaries for over 150 years. Trophy whitetail bucks roam the cedar-covered canyons and senderos alongside free-ranging exotics including axis deer, blackbuck, and nilgai. This is Texas Hill Country hunting at its most authentic.

Y.O. Ranch Hunting packages include guided rifle or archery hunts from elevated blinds over corn feeders — a true Texas tradition. Mature 8 and 10-point bucks with 140"+ Boone & Crockett scores are regularly taken. Season runs November through January for peak rut action.

Lodging is in the historic ranch compound with western-style cabins, communal dining hall, and legendary Texas hospitality. Add an exotic species to your package for a true Hill Country combo hunt.
