El Papalote Ranch has graciously donated an All-Inclusive multi-animal hunt at their exclusive 5-star, 3,250-acre executive retreat located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of South Texas. One Hunter and One Observer will stay 3 days and 2 nights at one of the most impressive lodges in all of Texas. Made of 120-year-old reclaimed timbers and native stonework, the 5,500sf lodge can sleep up to 18 with the winners having their own private suite and bathroom. When not sitting in the blinds or traversing the miles of private trails and roadways on the ranch, the winners of this auction will be able to enjoy time poolside, catch and release fishing, photo safaris, sipping a drink at the firepit or practicing their aim at the shooting range or skeet stations.

This is not a canned hunt with pen raised critters. The treed and high brush 3,250 acres has no cross fencing with a mix of terrain and fauna. From stalking open fields to sitting in high stands overlooking large sonderos with 300+ yard spokes or watching watering holes, the ranch offers numerous opportunities to make any hunter happy. We have over 20 deluxe blinds for both our rifle and archery hunters to enjoy their hunts from. The whitetail deer at El Papalote Ranch have been intensely managed for the past 8 years to breed some of the best typical main frames in Texas with many scoring well over 200". Trophy Axis deer, Blackbuck, Dama Gazelle, Wildebeest, Arabian Oryx, Sable, Roan, and even Zebra can be found roaming the ranch, with over 25 exotic species, you never know what you might see when you turn a corner. Any of these trophies can be added per outfitters pricelist.

Included in this donation is 1 management whitetail buck scoring up to 150", 1 whitetail doe, 1 javelina and unlimited hogs. Daily rates for 1 hunter and 1 observer are also included for the 3 days / 2 nights (double occupancy). Additionally, as we strongly support and encourage our youth hunters, the animals may be divided between 1 adult and 1 family member youth hunter under the age of 16 for no additional cost for a second room or hunter upgrade! Method of take is rifle or bow. Additional hunters and observers can be added at current daily rates to make this an entire family adventure. Also included in your winning bid are meals, drinks (including alcohol), skeet shooting and more. Additionally, there may be opportunities for ducks, geese, sandhill cranes as well as quail and dove that frequent the ranch depending on open season dates and if time allows.
