"South Texas hunting the way it was meant to be!" 

What makes Y Bar Ranches dove hunting so great is that you will be hunting on irrigated farmland which provides unmatched forage and cover for dove. Our experienced dove guides will take you and your guests out to one of our many dove fields. The guide will stay with you in the field until the hunt is over. The guide will be able to make sure the group is on a good fly way and have drinks available to the hunters. The truck can head to the lodge as soon as the group has limited out. All you have to do is bring your shotgun, everything else is taken care of for you.

Esperanza Lodge

• You will arrive at Y Bar Ranch at lunchtime on day one.  After lunch, you and your group can shoot sporting clays, and then load up in our vehicles and head to the fields for some of the best dove hunting of your life.  You will arrive back to the lodge that evening where horsd’oeuvres, margaritas, beer, and a campfire on our rock patio await.  After a few margaritas a sit down dinner will be served. 

• On day two, after a continental breakfast, you will hunt in the morning and have the option to be back at the lodge for a mid morning full breakfast, or hunt till lunchtime.  You will most likely have your daily bag limit by mid morning, at which time you may enjoy any of the following facilities the Y Bar has to offer: fishing, sporting clays, play pool, horseshoes and swimming… Of course there will always be our "soon-to-be-famous" homemade margaritas or ice cold beer available to keep you cooled off.  (U.S. fish & game sets the daily bag limits on dove.)  Lunch will be served and then if necessary a mid afternoon hunt.  Your evening would be the same as day one with the only exception being a new dinner menu. 

• On day three, after a continental breakfast, you will hunt in the morning and have the option to be back at the lodge for a mid morning full breakfast, or hunt till lunchtime.  As you depart you will be presented with a cooler containing your processed birds.
