Whitetail Deer
Plentiful and native. Our bread-and-butter hunt, taken from blinds over senderos and water.
Val Verde County · Comstock, Texas
A working, off-grid dude ranch on the Chihuahuan rim. Free-range whitetail and mule deer, hogs and javelina, marksmanship training, ten guest cabins and a kitchen that earns the drive out here.
The Ranch
Galt Ranching sits in the rough, generous country of Val Verde County, where limestone draws, sotol flats and mesquite thickets hold more game than most people expect. We run it as a working ranch first: fences mended, water kept, herds watched year round.
Everything a guest touches out here — the lights, the well pump, the coffee at four in the morning — comes off our own two solar plants, and the quiet you get in return is the whole point.
What Walks Here
Free-range animals on unfenced desert range. Seasons, methods and bag are set by Texas Parks & Wildlife — we set you where the animals are.
Plentiful and native. Our bread-and-butter hunt, taken from blinds over senderos and water.

Traveling in bands through the pear flats — a fast, close-quarters desert hunt.
An occasional free-range visitor. Available when the herd moves onto our country.
Bluff-dwelling and hard-earned. The toughest walk we offer, and the best story after.

The Apiary
Our hives work the country the same way our guests do. The bees range over guajillo, catclaw, mesquite bloom and whatever the desert wildflowers put up after a rain, and the honey we pull tastes like exactly that — dark in a dry year, light and floral after a wet spring.
We harvest it here, jar it here, and it turns up on the breakfast table with the biscuits.
Between Hunts
Cold beer, a long counter and the day's stories getting taller by the hour.
A full fitness bay with free weights and cardio — trainees keep their routine out here.
Games, big-screen TV, deep sofas and lounge chairs for the middle of a hot afternoon.
