San Miguel Ranch & Lodge Wingshooting

San Miguel Ranch and Lodge offers a total wingshooting experience. The lodging is Old World elegant, the birds are plentiful, and the bird dogs are beautifully trained. You’ll find our professional hunters to be as passionate about wingshooting as you are.

For the dove hunter, the grain fields of milo, corn, sesame, and sunflower surrounding the Uvalde area hold the largest concentrations of whitewing and mourning doves found in the lower 48 of North America. With record rains in 2007 producing bumper grain crops, biologists are predicting a great year for doves.

We have devoted 1,000 acres of the ranch to quail and other upland game hunting. Our cultivated quail strips are sewed in native grasses and grains. The low cover makes working our dogs a pleasure. Our low south Texas brush is a little less forgiving and a little more challenging.

Besides our native bobwhite and blue quail, we stock upland birds to assure our clients have an action packed hunt. Our stocked birds are bred for speed and raised in huge flight pens for a fast flying action. At San Miguel, you’ll hunt bobwhite quail, chukar and ring-necked pheasants.

“We enjoy taking our customers to San Miguel. Lots and lots of birds!” Brian Smith, Mingledorff, Inc.

Whether you’re a novice, getting your first taste of upland game hunting or an experienced, world-class wingshooter, we can challenge you at the highest level. That’s probably why our longtime clients continue to count on San Miguel for their wingshooting. Visit our trophy gallery and see for yourself.

Our wingshooting hunts are great for the corporate client looking to build a unique hunting adventure that their employees and customers will never forget. Visit our corporate hunting programs to explore more options.

“We’ve entertained our customers on San Miguel dove hunts for over 6 years now, it’s helped us to continue to build customer loyalty.” Mel Barbee, Carpenter Company
