About

Nestled along the banks of the famous Red River on the Texas-Oklahoma border – where the rolling plains meet the cross timber region – the S.M. Brown Game Bird Ranch is one of the few remaining Texas Ranch Heritage sites in the state, and, after four generations, remains an active, working ranch to this very day.

Originally homesteaded by civil war veteran and rancher Joe Brown back in 1867, the property has evolved into a true hunter’s paradise, and today stands as a living tribute to the original beauty, charm and pride of the authentic, traditional Texas wingshooting experience.

We believe that the ranch offers you an unequalled environment of both adventure and relaxation… a rare meld that lets you stride back into a time, when the West was still young and cowboys were king.

Upland Hunting Packages

Our customized hunting packages allow you to select your specific choice of service and amenities. Whether it’s a half-day father-son hunt or a corporate getaway for up to seven clients, prospects or associates, the S.M. Brown Game Bird Ranch makes the ideal destination.

And unlike other wingshooting operations, our packages don’t charge by the bird (which we believe takes way from the genuine Texas upland hunting experience). In fact, our packages have no bag limits whatsoever. This gives our hunters more bang for the buck and a decidedly better value than other lodges. Whether you’d like to concentrate on a single species or a mixed bag, we can customize a hunt package just right for you.

Our hunting season runs from Oct. 1 through Mar. 31, with morning hunts running from 9 a.m. to noon and afternoon hunts from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. (weather permitting). All half and full-day packages include guide, dogs, cold beverages, snacks and bird cleaning/packing service. All-inclusive (overnight/multi-day) packages include comfortable accommodations and delicious, home-cooked meals.

All hunts require a 50% non-refundable deposit in advance. In cases of cancellation, hunts may be rescheduled during the current season. We ask that you please provide us with at least 48-hour cancellation notice.
