The lodge facilities date back to a circa 1876 cowboy bunkhouse. The lodge offers very nice accommodations yet maintains the ambience of a fifth-generation ranch.

Starting in 2005 we offered a limited and very successful trophy pronghorn antelope hunt. Our 100% hunter success resulted in an average score that exceeded 80 B&C inches with one exceptional buck making "book" at 84 2/8 inches! Our exclusive hunts are conducted on over 32,000 acres of prime antelope habitat with opportunities for very mature bucks. The 2 1/2 day hunts are 1X2 with meals and lodging furnished at the ranch. Airport pick up and return is available from El Paso International Airport.

Long regarded as the premier game animal in the Southwest, the desert bighorn sheep is now well established in the remote mountains of the Trans-Pecos region of Texas. Permits are awarded by the State each year to individual landowners based on annual census data and habitat evaluation. The Circle ranch generally receives a sheep permit each year. Our habitat enhancement and water accessibility in remote areas has benefited the sheep population that utilizes our “high country”. Our exclusive sheep hunt offers a guaranteed opportunity at a quality ram in some of the most spectacular country in West Texas. Exceptional lodging, experienced wait staff and guides, and accessibility to sheep country via Polaris Ranger or horseback, guarantees an exceptional and successful hunting opportunity for this majestic animal. Please contact us to place your name on our bidding list for the permit.

Hunting leases like this one rarely come available.  The well known Harrell Ranch, originally settled by pioneer Charles Goodnight, is 28,000 acres of wildlife paradise situated in the Texas Panhandle, some 20 miles southwest of Claude, not far from Amarillo.  This property has not been hunted the last two years but the Harrell family recently decided to offer this special place to the right group of hunters.

Available Game – Mule deer, whitetail deer, Rio Grande wild turkey, bobwhite and blue quail, free range aoudad sheep, wild hogs, dove, waterfowl, and varmints.  This variety of game is rarely found at one location and makes this an especially unique hunting property.  Big desert mule deer are the premier animal here and the Harrell Ranch has a reputation of producing some of the finest Panhandle mule deer, including a 198” monster a few years ago.  A recent tour of the ranch by WSI owner Greg Simons resulted in Simons seeing over 50 mule deer from 10:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.  There have also been some huge whitetails taken on this property and the ranch owner has a shed that has over 90” on one side.  Most of the whitetails inhabit the river bottom country.  A large population of aoudad sheep roam the ranch which provides for year around recreation.  Large numbers of turkey roost in the cottonwoods along the Red River.  Waterfowl by the droves (ducks, geese, and sand hill cranes) are occasionally thick on this place, especially when the ranch’s playa lakes have water.  Dove hunting can at times be hot, either over ponds or on the milo and wheat fields on the property.

Harvest Quota – Lease allowances provide an annual harvest of the following:  8 quality mule deer, plus several cull bucks; 6 quality whitetail bucks; up to 10 mature aoudad rams; 30 turkey gobblers; standard bag limits of other game birds; and no limit on hogs and predators.

Lodging – A historic five-bedroom lodge is available for use.  Additionally, Harrell Ranch owners have agreed to spend $15,000 - $20,000 appointing the lodge with various amenities and will allow the hunting lessee to provide input on how they would like to see it outfitted.  Once furnished, you can bet that this will provide lodging that you rarely find on a hunting lease.  This lodge has phone service capabilities.

Description of Ranch – This 28,000-acre property is situated on the Red River with several miles of river running through the ranch.  Topographical features along the river drainage are extremely rugged and rocky, providing breathtaking views.  As you move away from the river you transition into intermediate type country with rolling draws and canyons.  This Ranch also includes some flat top areas which are where an approximately 450 acres of wheat and milo are located.  This is a stunning property, full of panoramic views and settings.

Other Interesting Features – The ranch is extremely well watered with approximately 50 trough type water locations, not to mention many different springs or seep type areas in various canyons, as well as the river itself. Several miles of perimeter border the famous Palo Duro Canyon State Park.  Landowner is willing to provide several corn feeders along the river for whitetail hunting and will keep them filled as long as lessee pays for the feed.  Ranch is easily accessed from Amarillo and is a short 20-minute drive from the Amarillo airport.

This ranch is truly a “Hunters Paradise”. This hunt will be on a private family owned low fence 15,000 acre working ranch. Located in the legendary South Texas brush country, and sitting in the Golden Triangle, the ranch is less than 20 miles from Eagle Pass,TX.
