The Sandy Ranch Difference

“Sandy Ranch sits smack-dab in the middle of the best big game hunting territory in Texas — and we’ve been hunting it for 20 years.”

Why hunt with us

Everything you need for a great hunt

From the moment you arrive to the morning you head home, Sandy Ranch is set up to give you the best possible experience in the field.

Premier Big Game Territory

Central Texas is known for trophy whitetail & exotic game. Our low-fenced property puts you in the middle of it.

Lodge-Style Accommodations

The lodge has a full game room — bar, pool table, and shuffleboard. Hunt hard, then unwind without leaving the property. View the property.

Ethical, Fair-Chase Hunting

We don’t do canned hunts. Harvesting a trophy here is earned. That’s what keeps our guests coming back time after time.

Family Owned & Operated

This is our land. We hunt here. When you come to Sandy Ranch, you’re treated like a guest, not a transaction. We appreciate you!

Plan your hunt. Pick your experience.

Bring everyone along

Great hunting country is also great Hill Country. There is something for everyone to do.

Sandy Ranch sits minutes from Fredericksburg and the Texas Wine Trail. While hunters are in the field, non-hunters have no shortage of things to do — world-class wineries, wildflower country, boutique shops, and some of the best Texas BBQ you’ll find anywhere.

We can point you toward all of it. Ask us when you book or visit our attractions page.

What Clients are Saying

Guests love our property, the accomodations and the hunting – we have a little bit of something for everyone here at Sandy Ranch Outfitters!

  • Beautiful place to escape the hectic pace of typical life. Wild life galore, fishing streams, clean air, excellent, spacious ranch-house lodging. Wonderful hosts and ranch managers. The kind of place you don’t want to leave. You can hike / bike-bring your own / swim, and more. I recently attended a wedding there and it was beautiful. Outdoors with a gazebo near the water and beautiful trees. Could not have been nicer!

  • Ross and Chris of Sandy Ranch Outfitters went out of their way to make sure we had an enjoyable and successful black buck hunt. The lodge is beautiful with lots of wildlife and peaceful surroundings. Food prepared by Chris was delicious!
