Three concentrated days on a working ranch just outside Waelder, Texas, deliver a hard-driving, high-opportunity hunting experience with the 3-Day Buy 1 Get 1 package. Situated in the coastal plain scrub and limestone outcrops south of the I‑10 corridor, the landscape here features mesquite thickets, dense live-oak clusters and grassy draws that funnel game. Feral hogs, coyotes and other predators exploit the mix of cover and water, so expect close-range encounters, pop-up blinds, and night stands under a broad Texas sky. For $699 you get a 3-day, 2-night guided hunt plus a free return hunt of equal value, valid for up to three years. The in-ranch itinerary includes six guided sessions: an arrival night hunt, four sessions the next day stretching from morning into night, and a final early-morning hunt before checkout. Guides run safety briefings, recommend stands, and handle game retrieval; ranch meals and bunkhouse lodging are included to keep logistics simple and focused on the field work. What makes this deal unusual for the region is the volume and flexibility. Harvests of unlimited hogs are allowed, and each day includes two predator or varmint opportunities—coyotes, bobcats, foxes, raccoons, armadillos and occasionally larger sightings depending on season. The ranch cleans and prepares meat for a standard fee structure (flat rates and per-pound charges apply), offers caping for taxidermy, and allows a paid private-cabin upgrade for hunters who want more privacy. Practical notes matter: no Texas hunting license is required for hogs, but a mandatory liability release must be signed. Bring 100–150 qt coolers (freezers are not permitted), reliable headlamps for night sessions, layered clothing for wide temperature swings, and a familiarity with firearm safety—guides will coach techniques but basic competence matters. Additional on-site fees include a guide/staff fee per hunter and suggested gratuities for service. This package appeals to mixed groups—novice hunters who want guided instruction, seasoned marksmen seeking non-stop action, or friends and family organizing a value-centered getaway. The buy-one-get-one structure lets you return with a buddy or save the second hunt for a later season; just remember free-return hunts must be scheduled separately and cannot begin on Fridays. Beyond the hunts, the ranch offers a raw look at Texas’ struggle with invasive hog populations—animals introduced generations ago by early explorers and now managed through sustained harvesting. For anyone chasing hands-on, efficient days in true brush-country conditions, this program pairs expert guidance with straightforward ranch hospitality. Book early—spots for the stacked sessions fill quickly. Contact the ranch after booking for scheduling options, ask about private-cabin upgrades and honey-hole sessions, and plan cooler logistics; non-hunter guests can be added for a fee, and staff will advise on processing, transport, and local lodging options if you comfortably extend your stay.
