WATERFOWL HUNT Deposit & Contract

Stuart Ranch has been continuously family-owned since 1868, making it Oklahoma's oldest ranch under the same family operation. Today, the 5th and 6th generations run daily operations on what has become one of the state's most respected hunting destinations. The ranch spans 46,000+ private acres of intensively managed habitat—from native pecan creek bottoms and mesquite flats to managed food plots and grain fields.

• •Land stewardship isn't marketing speak at Stuart Ranch—it's the foundation of everything they do. They work year-round with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife on habitat management, doe population control, and conservation projects. Their newest investment, The Sorrell, is nearly 100 acres of precision-managed duck habitat with levees and flash board risers for precise water control. This doubled their managed waterfowl acreage to over 200 acres.

"Day in and day out, and year in and year out, we work tirelessly to create, build, develop, and scout to bring you a successful hunt. This is not a part-time job for us, it is a 7-day-a-week, 365-day-a-year commitment to our hunting clients."

The ranch manages trophy-caliber bucks through selective breeding and herd management. Hunters frequently see 25+ deer per hunt. The terrain offers multiple hunting approaches—bow, muzzle-loader, and rifle hunters all work the property. Expect large cereal grain ag fields, wildlife food plots, and native habitat that produces mature bucks.

Located in the heart of the Central Flyway, Stuart Ranch provides access to thousands of acres of prime duck and goose hunting. Hunts mix managed habitat, moist soil sloughs, cattle ponds, sheet water, winter wheat fields, and timber. Fully guided by skilled callers and decoy spreads. Recent seasons show very high success rates. Groups of 10-12 hunters can book The Lodge exclusively.

Hunts take place in pecan creek bottoms and mesquite flats. Currently limited availability due to regional population decline, but the ranch maintains managed flocks. One Rio Grande turkey hunt offered per season.

Free-range hogs from 20 lbs to 350+ lbs roam the entire property. Hunts primarily use blinds over feeders, bait sites, or food plots, with spot-and-stalk opportunities when available. They also offer fully-guided thermal night hunts with scopes, rifles, and ammunition provided. Unlimited harvest potential (free-range, so no guarantee, but maximum effort applied).

Opened in 2022 after 12+ years of planning, The Lodge serves as the base for all hunts:

Ten experienced guides staff the operation: Aaron Kidd, Clay Forst, Wesley Nutt, Steve Gray, Braden Ledford, Bryson Evans, Travis Black, Nick Grant, Myles Ellis, and Dillon Ellis. Each brings years of experience hunting game in Jefferson County, Oklahoma.

Hunts are in high demand with limited availability. Stuart Ranch offers a Hunt List to notify interested hunters of openings and cancellations. Contact Clay S. Forst:

Stuart Ranch also launched the Stuart Ranch Collection—western-inspired furniture pieces designed by Brett McPherson and crafted with high-quality fabrics. Each piece draws from the ranch's generational history and is meant to be passed down.
