When Quality Counts Hunt the FFR

At our Texas hunting ranch we have a variety of exotics game as well as a strong group of white-tailed deer. Among the big game at our hunting ranch, the most popular are:

White-tailed hunting
Fallow deer hunting
Blackbuck hunting
Axis deer hunting

We provide our trophy game hunters the chance to harvest true trophy animals of many species. Our animals are on a strong supplemental feed program, which promotes maximum body weight and antler growth.

The Hunt

The hunts are exciting and a challenge to all hunters, but that is not what brings folks back to the Franklin Family Ranch. What our visitors tell us is that it's the overall experience of the ranch that is so compelling.

Hunting Ranch Accommodations

We do provide accommodations if you make an overnight trip to our exotic game hunting ranch. The accommodations are $300 per hunter per night and include lodging and meals. We provide two large meals and a light lunch each day. Your accommodations include skeet shooting, fishing, and wildlife photography as well. The exotic animal hunt is just a small part of the hunting package. If your group consists of three or more hunters, the ranch may be reserved exclusively for your group.
