Dos Plumas Hunting Ranch FAQ
(Everything you wanted to know about Dos Plumas, but didn't want to ask)

What supplies do I need to bring with me when I hunt at your ranch?
You’ll need to bring your weapon of choice and bug repellant depending on the time of the year. If you’re hunting hogs be sure to bring your spot light for hunting at night. It's also a good idea to brihg brush pants for spoting and stalking. You’ll also need trash bags and coolers for transporting your meat, and you may want to bring drinking water. If you choose not to have meals provided for you, you’ll need to bring your own food and spices. We have a full kitchen available for your use but we do ask that you wash the dishes before you leave. We also provide towels and linens for our guests.

How many acres do you have?
We currently have 3,300 acres to hunt. Our properties are not contiguous so that we don’t have to pressure the animals. The parcels of land are separated into anywhere from 300 to 2,000 acres. We also have a 575-acre controlled area where we specialize in blackbuck antelope, fallow deer, axis deer and several species of rams.

Are there any trophy fees or additional costs that I’m not seeing on your website?
Absolutely not. We pride ourselves on not having any trophy or kills fees. The last thing we want going through the hunter’s mind when they pull the trigger is “how much is this going to cost me?” We want you to have a great hunt at a fair price.

How do I book a hunt?
You can view our calendar on the website for available dates and then call us at 325-665-9450 to schedule your hunt. We require a 50% deposit to book any hunt. If you find you need to re-schedule or cancel a hunt, you must notify Dos Plumas Hunting Ranch at least 21 days before the first day of the scheduled hunt or your deposit will be forfeited.  We allow a hunt to be rescheduled one time.

What if I book a hunt and then need to cancel?
We understand that life sometimes interrupts our plans. If you book a hunt and then don't show for the scheduled hunt, your credit card will be charged. So our best advice is to call and reschedule the hunt as soon as you know about your conflict. It will save you money and allow us the opportunity to fill your slot..

My child is under 18 years old, can he/she hunt on your ranch?
Yes. There is no age minimum to hunt in Texas and we especially enjoy having children at the ranch. However, the youth must hunt with a licensed adult. We work hard to insure your child has a great hunt because we understand that you’re making life-long memories with you child.

What is the closest airport to your ranch?
Abilene airport is just 30 miles away from the ranch. We provide airport pick-up and drop-off for $45 a person.

Do you have someone available to take care of the animals after they’re down?
Yes, we do. We offer skinning and quartering for $25 and up per animal and skinning, caping and quartering for $50 and up an animal. You can also do this yourself as we have a skinning facility and cooler available for your use at no additional charge.

Do I need a license?
Yes, you need a license to hunt alla the animals on the ranch. We suggest that you stop at any Wal-Mart or license selling agency to purchase your license. You can also obtain these online through Texas Parks and Wildlife.

Do you accommodate corporate hunts?
Yes. Our lodge can comfortably sleep 10 people but we generally don’t hunt more than 6 people at a time. However, we can make special arrangements for larger groups to reserve the entire ranch.

Do I need to bring my own fishing gear?
Yes. We have 7 stock tanks where you can fish for bass, catfish, crappie and hybrid breem.
