Big Game Hunts

At Las Lajas Game Ranch our goal is to provide you with an authentic South Texas hunting experience. Outfitter Roberto Vela and staff will work with you to pre-plan and customize your hunt to meet your personal needs. Hunts are designed to be exciting and challenging to hunters of all experience levels. We pride ourselves in providing a warm, family-friendly atmosphere where serious hunters of all ages are welcome.

Hunts are conducted fully guided safari style or semi-guided from comfortable elevated box blinds, one-man tripods or ground blinds. You are welcome to hunt with rifle, bow, black powder or handgun. Whether you hunt from our vehicle or from a blind overlooking one of the many secluded senderos or feeding areas, your guide will assist you in finding the trophy of your choice. We will also be glad to help you with field dressing and we can provide transportation to a nearby meat processor if you so desire.

Hunt Itinerary
Our basic hunt is three full days of hunting. Hunters generally arrive around noon of the first day and depart around noon of the fourth day. You may hunt the traditional style of early mornings and late afternoons or all day from any of our 44 blinds and stands. Guides will make suggestions on blind locations based on the trophy you seek and their experience on the ranch. Transportation to and from hunting areas will be provided by the ranch. Guides will drop you off at pre-selected blinds or stands, then pick you up whenever you decide. We may also provide two-way radios for communication and safety.

Safari style hunts may be scheduled for an additional fee that covers your personal guide and vehicle. These are fully guided hunts that can take place mornings, midday and early afternoon. These hunts may occasionally require light walking or stalking to secure a better shot at a trophy. There may be one to three hunters in a safari group.
Spot and stalk may only be done upon approval of the ranch management and may require a personal guide to accompany you. A personal guide fee may apply.

Bird Hunts

South Texas Dove Hunts
If you are looking for an outstanding dove hunt, Las Lajas Game Ranch (LLGR) has what it takes to make that search a reality. LLGR offers some of the best dove hunting in South Texas. It starts with an enormous amount of local dove in the area. Then add that LLGR is in a direct flight pattern for dove. Lastly, our natural habitat of native sunflower, weeds and grasses, not to mention numerous water ponds, result in ideal conditions for whitewing and mourning dove. Any dove hunter looking for consistent action and excitement will find Las Lajas an incredible adventure. This is also a great way for a company to entertain clients or for a group of close friends or family to get together.

Dove packages are scheduled as group arrangements typically consisting of a minimum of four to twelve hunters. We furnish comfortable lodging and travel to and from the hunting areas. These hunts are 3 day and 2 night (2 full days) starting at noon on the first day and ending at 11:00 A.M. on the third.

Hunting takes place while driving the ranch safari-style or by walking and stalking. Your dogs are welcome, too. Hunts are divided into morning and afternoon sessions with lunch in between. When evening rolls around, we return to LLGR headquarters for dinner and to spend the evening reminiscing the day’s hunt.
