Buck Horn Ranch

Buck Horn Ranch operates a premium hunting destination on sprawling acreage near San Saba, Texas—about 2 hours west of downtown Austin. The property is built around a luxury lodge perched on a 4-mile hill with 100-mile views overlooking Llano Canyon and the surrounding Hill Country landscape.

Every hunt package is all-inclusive for 3 days and 2 nights, meaning lodging, meals, and professional guide service come with your booking. Non-hunting guests can tag along for $475/day.

The Lodge - 11,720 square feet of living space - 10 spacious suites with private bathrooms - Gourmet kitchen with modern appliances - Expansive living room with fireplaces - Sun room for gatherings - Covered and uncovered patios and decks - Trophy barn for displaying your harvest

Climate-controlled rooms give you a comfortable place to rest between hunts. Check-in is at noon, check-out at 1 PM. You'll do a mandatory rifle sight-in by 1:30 PM on arrival day before the evening hunt.

The ranch stocks 15 strategically positioned hunting blinds that can accommodate 3-5 hunters per blind. On average, you'll spot 20-30 animals per hunt from these blinds alone. The ranch operates on a MLD (Managed Lands Deer) program, and whitetail tags are furnished—you just need a valid Texas hunting license.

Minimum caliber: .243 rifle

Whitetail pricing runs from $850 for a non-tagged doe up to custom pricing for 300"+ bucks:
