Hebbronville Deer Hunting

Hebbronville Deer Hunting is a premier, family-owned hunting outfit located in Hebbronville, Texas, in the heart of Jim Hogg County. We specialize in quality South Texas whitetail deer hunts and take pride in offering top-notch equipment, knowledgeable local guides, and a well-organized staff whose sole focus is ensuring an exceptional hunting experience.

Our hunts take place on the renowned Eshleman–Vogt Ranch, situated in the legendary South Texas Brush Country. The ranch has been under an intensive wildlife management program for more than 25 years and features approximately 2,900 acres of high-fence hunting, with additional acreage dedicated to low-fence hunting. This long-term management, combined with excellent native habitat, has created a true sportsman’s paradise for whitetail deer and other indigenous game.

Unlike many outfits, Hebbronville Deer Hunting does not charge based on a deer’s score. Our hunts are based on opportunity. We strive to provide each hunter with as many quality opportunities as possible. Our experienced guides are experts at aging and scoring deer on the hoof, ensuring that every hunter—from first-timers to seasoned veterans—has the chance to harvest a deer that best fits their goals.

If you take your trophy early in the hunt, your experience doesn’t end there. We encourage hunters to continue enjoying the ranch, learning more about deer management, and gaining insight into how a large South Texas operation is run.

At HDH, we proudly support family hunts, including father-son and grandparent-grandchild experiences. These hunts create lasting bonds and help teach the next generation firearm safety, ethical hunting practices, and respect for the land. The confidence and lessons gained in the field last a lifetime 

Our Hunts 

At Hebbronville Deer Hunting, our staff gives 100 percent to every hunter throughout their stay. While we do not guarantee the harvest of a trophy animal, we are proud of our 85 percent year-over-year success rate. More importantly, we guarantee a great hunt and a memorable experience built on hard work, honesty, and opportunity.

Our hunts take place in classic South Texas Brush Country, where savannah-like grass pastures, prickly pear cactus, and mesquite trees stretch across gently rolling, sandy terrain. Most shots range from 100 to 200 yards, providing ideal conditions for ethical, well-placed shots.

Hunt Style & Duration

Our standard trophy hunt is three and one-half days. Hunts are conducted primarily from blinds, but when conditions allow, we also:

    •    Rattle

    •    Stalk

    •    Still-hunt on foot

    •    Hunt from four-wheel-drive vehicles

All hunts are fully guided, and guides are responsible for determining deer maturity in the field. We define a mature buck as 6½ years old or older. As part of our management program, if a younger deer (such as a 4½-year-old) steps out—even if it fits the antler class—you may not be permitted to take it.

Ethical Standards

We enforce a one-shot rule. If a deer is wounded, the remainder of the hunt is restricted to locating and recovering that deer. Every effort will be made to track and recover wounded animals.

Season Dates

All trophy hunts are conducted from the first weekend in December through the end of the Texas state season. Your specific hunting dates will be selected at the time of booking.
