Living Waters Reserve and Ranch is the idyllic setting for a hunter's dream getaway. This 720-acre ranch provides unparalleled hunting and fishing adventures. The ranch is home to exotics and native breeds that include axis, mouflon, black buck and white tail. The Nueces River provides fisherman with cool, spring-fed water brimming with bass.

The diverse landscape of limestone bluffs, giant oak trees, fertile pecan groves, grassy savannah, and nourishing south Texas hillsides at the ranch provides rewarding and picturesque hunting for our guests.

All hunters are accompanied by a Living Waters guide. Newly constructed deer blinds are provided. Bow hunting is available as well. All animals are skinned, quartered, and iced. Spot lighting for varmint hunting with a Living Waters guide is great nighttime fun.

Exotic Game Hunting
Hunters at Living Waters will find exotics and native breeds that include axis, mouflon, black buck and white tail. Our hunting guide will develop a hunt based upon your desires and the size of your hunting group.

Bird Hunting
Upland bird hunting at Living Waters includes pheasant, quail, chukar, guide, bird dogs and processing. We utilize premier guide services. This activity can be arranged by contacting our event planner.

We adhere to safety and the law at Living Waters. Guests are asked to bring their own hunting license, which is required by law, even when no white tail deer are being hunted. Guests must bring their own firearm and ammo. Minor aged hunters must have a youth hunter’s license and be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. If guests bring alcoholic beverages to enjoy, we insist that the firearms be laid down for the rest of the day or night.

Whether stalking a mouflon or walking through tall grasses behind a highly trained Labrador retriever, the Living Waters adventure continues…
