Joshua Creek Ranch boasts 1,200 acres of diverse terrain, including Texas prairie grasses, high bluffs that present a dramatic backdrop to crystal clear Joshua Creek, and magnificent, ancient oaks that grace the gentle, rolling hills. Enhancing what nature has provided, trails, accommodations, cuisine and amenities have been added that translate into a sportsman's paradise.
The Ranch is a rare combination of natural beauty, exceptional facilities, and friendly folks who know what world-class wing shooting is all about. During the fall and winter, we're all about wingshooting for Texas bobwhite quail, chukar, Hungarian partridge, and pheasant, as well as game hunting for Hill Country Whitetail deer and the Rio Grande turkey during the designated season for these animals. And for those who want that trophy Axis buck, you can hunt Axis year round!
There's nothing better than "Face Time" to build deep and lasting relationships with customers, family and friends. And there's no better place for it than hunting quail behind fine dogs
In the spring and summer, we move to the call of the hammock instead of the call of the hunt! We cater to outdoor aficionados in the spring and summer months who crave a natural and secluded setting to fish & float, canoe & kayak, and hike & bike. Joshua Creek Ranch is a great place to have your family reunion, your corporate retreat or workshop, your wedding, or any other special destination event.
If you're not a hunter, but you are a shooting enthusiast who likes the competition of sporting clays, we offer a world-class, ten-station sporting clays course! Call for reservations, please.
It's our goal to make Joshua Creek Ranch a safe, exciting and thoroughly rewarding retreat for every outdoor enthusiast, every time, any time of the year! Hunting
A giant Live Oak tree sheltering the flagstone terrace of Joshua Creek Ranch Lodge has been growing there for hundreds of years. It is a magnificent reminder of the time nature required to produce the perfect bird hunting environment. Hunters can choose from quail, pheasant, chukar, and Hungarian Partridge in a season that runs from October 1st through March 31st. There is whitetail deer and the big rack Axis, as well as Rio Grande turkey. In addition to a variety of game, we offer an expansive array of bird hunts: Traditional Walk-up Shooting with experienced bird dogs, European-Style Driven Pheasant Shooting - just imagine hundreds of prime pheasants exploding from bluffs and ridges to challenge your shotgunning skill as they lift high overhead -- and the new Continental Pheasant Shoot, where hunters and their dogs rotate through ten challenging stations, with a variety of different terrain retrieves.
Our experienced guides know the land, the wildlife, and the essentials of hunting. They are, literally, at your side to instruct, if needed, to assist, or simply to find the birds and handle the dogs.
A variety of wingshooting packages and deer and turkey hunting options are available, or a custom package can be developed to meet your specific preference.

Deer and Turkey Hunting
You'll experience Whitetail deer, Axis deer, and turkey hunting at its best on beautiful, 1200-acre Joshua Creek Ranch! It is not unusual to spot trophy-size Axis bucks with 30-inch+ beams grazing in the fields. Rio Grande turkeys can also be seen feeding and roosting especially in the protection of the forested acreage and the Guadalupe River banks. Over 20 blinds and feeders are maintained year-round, providing hunters with one of the most satisfying hunting experiences in the Texas Hill Country. Guests can hunt for Hill Country Whitetail and/or Rio Grande Turkey in the seasons established by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Axis deer can be hunted year-round. For Axis and Whitetail deer, you can have a guided hunt if you desire, or our guides will take you to your blind and come back for you when you’re ready. As soon as you harvest your deer or turkey, give us a call on your cell phone and we’ll be right there to help you recover your kill and field dress it. Aging, processing and/or taxidermy of your harvested animal is available.
