Hunting License Information

The hunting season for elk and fallow deer at Cinco Canyon Ranch runs from October 15th through February 15th. Axis, black buck and other exotics can be hunted year round. Our hunting season for native Whitetail and turkey is established each year by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department which also requires all hunters to have a valid and current Texas hunting license. If you do not have a valid Texas license we can assist you. One may be easily purchased on the way to the ranch or in Fredericksburg.

1. Sight in their rifles at our shooting range before their hunt.
2. Obey all game laws while hunting on the ranch

Hunting Services Include:

All hunts at Cinco Canyon Ranch are fully guided by a person who is not only well versed in scoring and aging elk/deer on the hoof, but also has expertise in locating animals on the ranch. Upon harvesting an elk/deer your guide will:

1. Assist you in recovering the animal
2. Field dress and score it
3. Photograph your trophy
4. Insure the animal is placed in our walk-in cooler
5. If you do not want to use our in house butcher we will help you in selecting a meat processor and/or taxidermist and coordinate transportation of the animal to the processor/taxidermist of your choice. Call for pricing and fees.
   
   

Please also note that guests are responsible for the cost of meat processing, taxidermy, and any shipping cost. Cinco Canyon Ranch will be happy to transport your animal to a local processor/taxidermist at no cost. However, all other processing costs are the responsibility of the hunter.

Photography

As you can see from this website, we are avid photographers with an appreciation for the beauty of the land and the majestic nature of the elk/deer that inhabit it.  We encourage our guests to bring a camera suited for wildlife photography. The photographic opportunities at the ranch are simply amazing.
