We do not operate as a high-volume hunting operation, and we've chosen to keep things limited.

Limited Number of Hunts Available

At Hindes Ranch, we book our whitetail hunts according to the number of mature bucks we have available. By doing this, we are able to increase the kill rate percentage for each hunter and maintain our stock.

"They are great people and you will have a deer hunting experience that is fading in today’s world. Go experience it! You will always look back and be thankful you did."

HIstory on Hindes ranch

Dave Richards, Instructor and Professional Wildlife Photographer

"I’ve been photographing and hunting the Hindes Ranch for over 25 years. The 17 bucks that I chronicled in my deer book, Observing & Evaluating Whitetails, are all Hindes bucks as are most of the 27 bucks in the judging on the hoof section.

Many of my covers on most of Texas hunting publications as well as Sports Afield and Peterson’s Hunting are all Hindes bucks. They have had many winning bucks over the years in the Los Cazadores and Muy Grande contests.

So much Texas deer hunting and management history took place on this ranch over the last half century. When I walk into their old hunting lodge the old photography and mounts draw me back into time of monster bucks and limb hanging gobblers.

The Hindes Ranch is an experience you'll always look back on and be thankful you did. "
