Game & Hunting Preserve
Hunting has long been a part of life in this part of the Panhandle, and the land around The Cator House offers opportunities to carry that tradition forward.
Â
Seasonal options may include pronghorn, pheasant, and dove, with access to knowledgeable local guides who understand the land and how to work it well.
​
Permits are limited and handled with care to ensure a responsible and enjoyable experience. For those interested, lodging and meals can be coordinated to make your time here comfortable and well-paced from start to finish.
Pronghorn
Our ranch is typically awarded a limited number of pronghorn permits each year (1–3), making this a rare and sought-after opportunity. Availability is announced in July—contact us to join the waiting list or learn more.
Pheasant Hunting
Wild pheasants call this land home, and as populations grow, so does the excitement of the hunt. Our grasslands provide the ideal backdrop for a classic and rewarding upland experience.
Dove Hunting
With water access and surrounding grain fields, our ranch offers prime conditions for an exceptional dove hunt. It’s the perfect setting to gather with friends, family, or clients for a memorable day in the field.
Mule Deer
With expansive acreage and natural habitat, our ranch offers excellent mule deer hunting opportunities. Inquire about flexible options, including day hunts and annual leases.
Lodging – The Cator House
After a day in the field, unwind in the comfort of The Cator House. With customizable stays from 1 to 4 nights, it’s the perfect place to relax, gather around the table, and share stories by the fire.
Meals
Enjoy home-cooked, farm-to-table meals prepared by Amy using ingredients grown right here on the ranch. Meals can be tailored to your group, with options ranging from one to three meals per day. Guests also have the option to bring and prepare their own meals.
Guides
Experienced local guides are available upon request to elevate your hunt. They’ll even bring the dogs—though you’re always welcome to bring your own. The Cator House provides a fenced in backyard for your dogs to play when not hunting.
