Trans-Pecos Guide Service was established in 1983 to provide exclusive hunting opportunities for desert mule deer, whitetail, and javelina in West Texas. Since our inception our goal was to always provide the finest hunting opportunities to our clients that chose to hunt this unique region of the State. No other ecological region in the state of Texas can compare with the diversity and abundance of free-ranging native game that flourishes in the Trans-Pecos region. In addition to our desert mule deer and whitetail hunts we can now offer limited hunts for desert bighorn sheep, elk, antelope and quail.

Trans-Pecos Wildlife Services evolved from our involvement with the State of Texas in the management of our wildlife resources. We have now streamlined our operation to devote more time toward the management of our wildlife in order to provide not only exceptional hunter success but opportunities for trophy quality that exceed regional benchmarks for trophy excellence! All of our ranches are actively involved with the Sate of Texas in the Managed Lands Deer Permit (MLDP) program. This affords our clients opportunities to hunt recognized ranches that are actively engaged in habitat preservation, enhancement, and stringent wildlife management practices.

Our intensely managed properties have ensured exceptional hunter success for mature desert mule deer, whitetail and antelope. Each year several of our hunters are recognized through the Texas Big Game Awards program, which awards certificates of recognition for harvested deer that exceed the regional benchmark for trophy excellence. All of our ranches are low-fenced and all game is 100% free-ranging on native rangeland.

Texas Blue Quail Hunting offers wild Blue Quail Hunting in West Texas. Hunts are conducted by ATV's Kawasaki Mules or Polaris Rangers on only wild birds we drive the roads and spot covies feeding then exit the hunting vehicle and either turn out a couple of English Pointers or just hunt them by sight. Then we put down a retriever and gather up the blue quail after the covey rise.

The Blue Quail are numerous in West Texas an average day will be 25 - 35 covies and the covies are big with 20-30 birds per covey. We usually hunt three to four hours in the morning and three to four hours in the evening.  The landscape is typical West Texas Desert country with lots of thorns and brush but with a good mix of hills and draws. The ranch we are hunting is very large 120,000 acres, 180 sections or 180 square miles. With that in mind there is no way to over hunt the ranch it is simply too large to cover in one season.

We are seeing great numbers of birds right now they are all pared up and breeding. The rains have come and all the tanks and pods are full this is the best spring we have had in fifteen years so the Blue Quail crop should be very good in 2007-2008. You will see lots of game Javelina, Desert Mule Deer, Coyotes and Wild Boar on your hunt.

Hunt Location:

The ranch is located 5 miles west of Balmorea, Texas. You will fly into Midland International Airport (code MAF). We will pick you up then drive the short 1.5 hours to the ranch and begin your hunt. Please refer to our booking information page for any additional information on this hunt.

About The Dogs:

The dogs are all owned and trained by me. I have been breeding and training English Pointers for about seven years. The breeding has lead to five major field trial championships also in 2007 placing 2nd in  the Midwestern State Quail Futurity with a nice young dog.  We do use these dogs in our Blue Quail Hunting. We try to use dogs as often as possible to hunt Blue Quail depending where we are on the ranch, not all habitat lets us use the dogs. We need to be in areas that are condusive for dog running.  The breeding is strong Rock Acre Breeding with CH. Black Rain, Nat. CH.Texas Trailrider, and Nat. CH Millers White Powder mixed in for variation. We are very proud of our dogs and what we have accomplished.

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.
