GET IT ON TEXAS 2025 HUNTING SEASON

HUNTING

Whitetail

Texas 2025 North Zone hunting season for whitetail deer normally runs November 1, 2025 – January 4, 2026 but we are in the Managed Lands Deer Program which allows us to extend our whitetail season until January 18th.

 

Exotics

Always open season for exotics, London Oaks Ranch has a challenging selection for the avid hunter. Available exotics include Axis, Fallow, Blackbuck and Aoudad and much more.

 

Guided hunts

Our hunts are all guided. You will be transported to your stand with a guide. Unless arranged in advance, all hunts will take place over feeders, waterholes, or our blinds. Your guide will assist. Most London Oaks blinds are fully enclosed blinds with operable windows/screens and comfortable chairs. We have a variety of setups from ground blinds to 10-foot elevated blinds. All have shot opportunities 20 yards or less.

Retrieving Game

We will exhaust every possibility to retrieve shot game. However, sometimes circumstances will make that impossible.

We do have tracking dogs that are available at an additional cost upon request.

If your animal is retrieved after your departure, we can handle the shipping of the trophy if desired.
