Well, it rained yesterday and was 67 degress at 2pm!!!! This morning it was still and foggy, the animals were out eating the green shoots that sprang up from the rain. We had a turkey convention below the house along the river. A large group of mothers and babies were being harassed by a group of teenage jakes. Whitetail, axis, and sika were seen, two fallow bucks were below the house. Well time to get to work on the roads!

Depending on the species you are after there may or may not be a season in which you are able to hunt. Native species such as Whitetail deer, bull Elk and Rio Grande Tom Turkeys do have seasonal hunts that are controlled by the state. All other species on the ranch are open for hunting year round.

Weather in Texas is seasonably warm all year round so even January and February hunting can be done in temperatures of 50 degrees plus. This makes a nice change for hunters from other states that are dealing with below freezing temperatures.

How can I tell if there are wild game hunting times open at Escondido Ranch?

If you are thinking old outdated cabins, having to cut wood and living "close to nature" then you definitely aren't thinking about this Texas hunting ranch. Escondido Ranch offers guests all the comforts of home. The main feature is a common area that is beautifully decorated with both true Texas furnishings as well as some amazing trophy heads in a variety of types of mounts. Not only does this give hunters a visual taste of what they can expect to see on their hunt on the ranch but it also provides an idea of the different ways that the trophies can be displayed.

The décor is very modern with individual rooms and ample place to relax, talk and just enjoy yourself. It is definitely not your average accommodation plus there is the option to arrange for meals prepared for you at the lodge. Since there is limited accommodation at the ranch it is important to book rooms in advance or plan to stay at one of the smaller hotels located just a short distance from Escondido.

What major city is close to Segovia?

One of the wonderful aspects of this Texas hunting ranch is that it is close to a major international airport as well as sightseeing locations for non-hunters and hunters alike.
