Macho Creek Lodge is on the 25,000 acre Peeler Ranch, located 50 minutes south of San Antonio in the wildlife-rich and vastly expansive South Texas Brush Country.

Five generations of Peelers have called and still call this ranch “home."  Justin Peeler invites you to share in the ranch’s heritage. From the foundation herd of Peeler Texas Longhorns to the ranch’s commercial cattle ranching operation to Macho Creek Lodge hunting and recreation! Come visit us and enjoy!

Macho Creek offers Bobwhite Quail, Mourning Dove, and Duck wing-shooting, big-game hunting for Whitetail Bucks, Wild Hogs, Javelinas, Rio Grande Turkey and Alligators, Bass Fishing, and Ranch Resort Vacations.

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.

Texas Wild specializes in South Zone Dove hunting during the Fall, and in Hog Hunting during the Spring and Summer. Texas Wild offers season leases for deer, dove, ducks, turkey and quail as well as day and package hunts on a variety of game in several South Texas counties. 

Texas Wild is owned and operated by David A. Smith. David has been a hunter for 40 years, a rancher for 35 years, and an outfitter for 25 years. He understands and can relate to all parties involved in the hunting and ranching industry. David owns ranch property as well as leases property which is sublet for hunting. David is a partner in two cattle operations, Rafter S Ranches with his son Brandon, and Smith Bros. Ranches with his brother Mike. David is keenly aware of two truths: That his relationship with the landowner is of the utmost importance, and that the future of the hunting industry is in the hands of our youth.
