Additional Information

Overview:

Welcome to The Prairie’s End Hunt Club, a company devoted to supplying premium quail, chukar, and pheasant hunts.  Located in Gainesville, Texas we are within an hour’s drive north of most spots surrounding the DFW area. Whether you are an inexperienced hunter or could rival Buffalo Bill or Annie Oakley, The Prairie’s End Hunt Club has the perfect combination of birds, staff, and Texas ambiance to supply those of you who enjoy tremendous hunting and memorable experiences in equal measure.

The Prairie’s End Hunt Club is a semi-private hunt club that caters to all scenarios including individual and corporate hunts via the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Membership is not required to take advantage of our services but is extremely economical for avid hunters and corporations.

We operate on approximately 800 acres of Texas Blackland Prairie, an excellent natural habitat for all upland birds and a beautiful backdrop to boot. Standard hunting packages include: a mixed bag of quail, chukar, and pheasant, a meal, and free guide service. The Prairie’s End Hunt Club’s season extends from October 1st through March 31st of every year.

The Prairie’s End Hunt Club is located on the historic Enderby Ranch. It was founded in Cooke County, Texas by Edward E. Enderby in 1876. Enderby Ranch, intact to this day, is located five miles southwest of Gainesville, Texas and lies directly on the old Butterfield Stage line (1858 to 1861) route and the legendary Chisholm Cattle Trail (1866 to 1880).

Still owned and operated by Enderby family, Enderby Ranch is one of the few ranches in the Dallas and Fort Worth area to be open to the public for upland game bird hunting. Clumps of native big and little bluestem grasses still wave high above the floor of the ranch’s old prairie meadows offering a habitat that hides birds from hunters just as this beautiful ancient grass has done for a thousand years. Enderby Ranch has worked with the Sam Noble Foundation for years restoring the prairie to its habitat before the intrusion of mass agriculture altered it.

The Prairie’s End Hunt Club was established before the 2004 season when Enderby Ranch stopped operation under the name Chisholm Trail Hunt Club. Now under new management, but the same ownership, The Prairie’s End Hunt Club hopes to continue to supply the DFW area with the convenience of efficiency and local, while maintaining Texas appeal and southern hospitality.
