Venado
Grande Ranch is a 3166 acre ranch in northern Maverick County with 471 acres
located in southern Kinney County. It has approximately 1.5 miles of Elm Creek
running through it. It is bordered on the north and east by a 10000 acre low fenced ranch
that is not commercially hunted. The southern and western boundaries are high fenced. We
have all of the important brush species that have made south Texas famous for producing
huge deer and a diverse array of other game. To enhance our natural forage, we are
implementing an intensive management program for deer ,turkey, quail, hogs, javelina,
ducks, and fish. This includes year round high protein feed, brush and water management,
predator control, games surveys, and soil aeration. Our goal is to consistently produce
some of the highest scoring deer in the state and maintain a high deer population, along
with a high population of turkey, quail, hogs, javelina, and ducks. We are also striving
to produce large bass and catfish.
We have a new 1750
square foot lodge. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and sits on a hill overlooking our 15
acre lake. On clear days, you can see 20 miles. Your hosts are Peter and
Julie Dunn.
The ranch is 22 miles south of Bracketville, 10 miles by paved highway, 12 miles by gravel
road at the end of the easement. It is approximately 140 miles from San Antonio
International Airport and 50 miles from Del Rio Airport.
When you book a hunt, you will have the ranch to yourself. We will not book other hunts
that will overlap with your
hunt.
All multi-day hunts start at 1pm on the first day of the hunt and end at 11am on the last
day of the hunt. You will
need a current hunting and/or fishing license that covers the game to be hunted or fished.
We can have one waiting for you. Simply let us know when you book your hunt.
We will do everything we can to insure that you will have a successful hunt and a great
time!
