Quail: A Test of Precision and Speed

Hunting quail is as exhilarating as it is rewarding. These small, quick birds are known for their sudden, explosive flights that challenge even the most experienced hunters. The northern bobwhite, a favorite among quail hunters, is abundant in Texas, thanks to the state’s favorable climate and habitat.

At Schmidt Double T Ranches, our guided quail hunts are a favorite activity for both seasoned hunters and newcomers. With skilled guides and trained bird dogs leading the way, hunters can immerse themselves in the thrill of flushing quail from cover. Beyond the hunt, it’s an opportunity to enjoy the rugged beauty of Texas Hill Country, where rolling landscapes and native vegetation create the perfect backdrop for this timeless tradition.

Turkey: The Ultimate Spring Hunt

Turkey hunting in Texas offers a unique combination of strategy and excitement. The Rio Grande wild turkey, famous for its vibrant feathers and impressive size, is a highly sought-after prize for hunters. During the spring, gobblers are especially vocal, making it the ideal time to test your skills in calling and tracking.

At Schmidt Double T Ranches, we provide guided turkey hunts that cater to all levels of experience. Whether you’re perfecting your turkey call or looking to capture your first trophy, our knowledgeable guides ensure a rewarding hunt.
