Hunting Club Information
Hall’s Bayou Ranch operates an exclusive first-class hunting club for corporate members and their guests. We provide an environment, which is equally enticing for the game and the hunters. Membership includes year-round access to the Ranch for fishing, four wheeling, and other outdoor enjoyment.
The tradition of hunting on the Ranch goes back to its founding in 1943. Until 1982, hunters could day hunt by paying a fee (ranging from $5 to $15) at the main gate. In 1992, Ranch Management realized that hunting offered an underutilized revenue source, and started emphasizing the management of the hunting environment. In 1996, the company started a program of capital investment to build new habitat. Since that time, over 70% of the income from hunting has been reinvested into the property. We complete one to five new fresh-water projects each year.
In addition to improving the habitat, we have an on-going program of facilities construction to improve our hunter’s experiences. Annually we add as many blinds as time and weather allow. Starting in the2003 membership year, we began a multi-phase Lodge Development Plan. We now can offer our members and their guest’s comfortable accommodations as well.
The Ranch has well over 15,000 acres available to our hunters. In
2004 had 53 managed hunting ponds, 37 of which were man-made
freshwater projects. Since most of these ponds are large enough to
have more than one hunting site (blinds, etc.), there are well over
100 designated hunting locations.
