Hunt the
Brush Country

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

Brush country
on its own terms

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

The Game

Free-range animals on unfenced desert range. Seasons, methods and bag are set by Texas Parks & Wildlife — we set you where the animals are.

Whitetail Deer

Whitetail Deer

Plentiful and native. Our bread-and-butter hunt, taken from blinds over senderos and water.

Mule Deer

Mule Deer

Ridge country bucks. Spot-and-stalk along the rimrock with a guide who knows the draws.

Wild Hog

Wild Hog

Year-round, no closed season. Day or thermal night hunts, no bag limit on our acreage.

Javelina

Javelina

Traveling in bands through the pear flats — a fast, close-quarters desert hunt.

Axis Deer

An occasional free-range visitor. Available when the herd moves onto our country.

Aoudad Sheep

Aoudad Sheep

Bluff-dwelling and hard-earned. The toughest walk we offer, and the best story after.

The Apiary

Desert honey,
wild sourced

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.
