Head to the renowned Texas Hill Country for your next great hunting adventure. Joshua Creek Ranch occupies a uniquely diverse terrain including miles of the spring-fed, crystal-clear Joshua Creek and the famous Guadalupe River. The ranch is recognized among the top wingshooting lodges in the world, and is the ideal destination resort for corporate events, conferences, and reunions.

Joshua Creek features quail and upland bird hunting, European-style driven pheasant shooting, and decoyed mallard hunting. You'll also be treated to some of the finest dove hunting in south Texas.

In addition to all of the great things you can do during your stay at the ranch, the property also feature award-winning lodging accommodations perfect for any size of group. Start planning your own hunting trip with the help of the friendly staff at Joshua Creek Ranch.

Address

132 Cravey Road Boerne, TX 78006

Highlights

The ranch covers 1,300 acres of widely diverse habitat and terrain that make it seem much larger. Most of the ranch is lightly wooded upland pastures planted with improved grasses that are managed for bird hunting habitat. The bottom land along the Joshua Creek and Guadalupe River are largely open fields planted in food and cover crops, perfect for flushing up pheasant with a line of shooters. The rest of the ranch is heavy timber and the typical Hill Country flora that provides cover and food for excellent Whitetail, Axis deer, and Rio Grande turkey hunting.

Fun facts

Joshua Creek Ranch was bought by Joe and Ann Kercheville in 1986. Their plan was to make the ranch a home to their herd of registered Texas longhorn cattle, but all that changed after they experienced driven pheasant shooting in Scotland in 1988 and 1989. They recognized the similarities between the Scottish hunting terrain and their own Texas Hill Country ranch, and they met many Americans who were investing lots of time and money to go "across the pond" for pheasant shooting.
