Full description and what we offer
Pipkin Ranch Outfitters, founded around 1885, operates a working cattle ranch and waterfowl hunting business on 5,000+ acres of professionally managed wetlands near Winnie, Texas. The property sits adjacent to the McFaddin Wildlife Refuge and borders other large private tracts, creating an exclusive setup for consistent duck and goose hunting.
Duck Hunts All duck hunts use experienced guides (many with their own trained retrievers). You can hunt from conventional dry blinds or portable marsh setups—your choice. Decoys are typically already placed; guides handle transportation via ATV, UTV, mud boat, or airboat. Hunts begin 2 hours before sunrise to get you in the blind before legal shooting time. You'll bring 12-gauge shotgun and non-toxic shot (#6 or #4 for early teal; #4 or #2 for regular season).
Alligator Hunts Add alligator hunts to your membership for additional fees. The ranch's extensive wetlands mean guides locate gators regularly—average harvest around 8 feet, though 11-12 footers show up. Gun and archery hunts available. Guides provide rifle and transportation; processing arranged locally.
Inshore Fishing Trips Cast-and-blast trips combine hunting with fishing. Center console bay boats with Coast Guard licensed captains target trout, redfish, and flounder. Trips accommodate up to 4 anglers. All tackle and artificial lures included, plus non-alcoholic drinks and ice. Fish cleaning can be arranged.
New construction complete: main lodge plus six private cabins with two bedrooms (two queen beds each) and full bathrooms. Corporate memberships include:

"Not enough can be said about the operation that Pipkin Ranch Outfitters runs... We killed full limits on both hunts (12 limits total) in two days and filled the coolers with reds and trout... There is great lodging, awesome food, and good people in Winnie." — Paul, Fort Worth
"I brought my 2 sons (12 & 14 years old) and my wife, who has never been duck hunting before. Tony did a great job of making it a fun event for the whole family... I'm already trying to find a date to book another hunt!" — Robert, Fall 2015
"Brad, Fletcher and crew run a first class operation. I would highly recommend this outfit for any level of hunter. Perfect for kids, friends or Business." — Taylor Neild, H.B. Neild & Sons
