HIDDEN LAKES, named by my wife Kathryn, like all good things is the fulfillment of our personal dream to own and operate a hunting resort. The Resort is located one mile east of Highway 17 on County Road 1912 in Yantis, Texas 75497.
When we first purchased the farm I started constructing lakes and ponds on every draw. When completed we had eight ponds and lakes. Now with the additional ranches acquired we have fourteen in all. Two years ago we stocked every lake and if you like to fish just bring the rod and reel (catch and release only).
You can also look for the ducks, deer, coyotes, bobcats, and other wildlife that roam the ranch. Part of our uniqueness is we are very secluded but an easy drive from major urban areas. The Resort is accessed by two entrances, one to the cabin and guest house and the other to the working facilities, both are half of a mile off the main road. The north, south, east, and west boundaries are the back side of other farms. You will not see a highway from any location on the Resort. This year we added two adjoining ranches to our hunting resort but we still maintain our seclusion.
Wing hunting is the only hunting we do. Years of hunting and visiting other resorts has allowed us to create the ultimate wing shooting resort. To facilitate our hunting, we purchase birds but in addition we also have the facilities to hatch and raise about 14,000 birds.
There are six flight pens from 130’ to 160’ long. The birds are kept secluded from sight of humans and protected from predators until they are released for hunting. Birds are raised in seclusion so they react and fly as if they were wild. This makes for an exciting hunt.
For prime pheasant hunting, we planted seventeen and a half miles of milo and sorghum in 30’ wide strips. There are two rows of milo and then two rows of sorghum repeated until we have a strip 30’ wide. The hunters walk through the waist high milo. The sorghum, which grows to about 7’ tall, causes the birds to get up faster and fly higher. We left all the natural grasses and cover on Hidden Lakes. The scattered trees, briar patches and grown up fence rows are excellent cover and provide prime natural habitat for the quail and chuckers. To facilitate hunting we shred a 20’ path every 200’ in the open field in all pastures. We have six different hunting areas which provide hunters a diverse hunting experience and provides safety by keeping hunters well separated.
Lodging
The guest house is located half of a mile off the road. It has a large bedroom with three queen size beds and a second bedroom with a queen and a half bed. The dining and living area is where meals are served. The guest house can sleep from five to nine depending on arrangements.
The cedar cabin is about 100 yards due south of the guest house nestled in trees by a lake. It has 2 half size beds downstairs and 2 bedrooms upstairs each with a queen size bed. There is also a queen sized sleeper sofa downstairs. The cabin will sleep four to six depending on arrangements.

Quail Hunting
Texas wild quail hunting in the beautiful Rolling Plains of West Texas on over 30,000 acres of prime bobwhite quail habitat. Our quail numbers improved significantly during 2002-2005 resulting in excellent hunting. The trend was due to the favorable rains and resulting excellent habitat. Although numbers were down in 2006 and 2007 due to less rainfall, we have an ample supply of birds.
Our ranches have the right mixture of weed growth, insects, cover, and range management necessary to consistently produce quality wild quail hunting.
Quail are found over the entire ranch, and with the rolling terrain it can all be hunted. These are 100% wild Texas quail! We will never over-hunt our quail population.
The Rolling Plains is one of the few areas left in the US that still holds a stable, wild bobwhite quail population. Our ranches are some of very few in the Rolling Plains area that consistently produces outstanding wild bobwhite quail habitat. Conservative livestock stocking rates and proper range management will assure the highest quality habitat for years to come.
We provide our quail with supplemental milo, corn, and wheat year round. This results not only in a lower mortality rate during stress periods and hatching season, but also meatier birds. We are studying ways to further improve our habitat for outstanding quail hunts for years to come.
Hunt behind pointers in very scenic areas from one of our customized late model crew cab 4x4 hunting vehicles and Kawasaki Mules. We enjoy walk hunting as well. Regardless of your preferred hunting style you will enjoy your time spent hunting with Roewe Outfitters.
