Whether it’s your first time to schedule a hunt in Texas, or if you’re experienced in what we have to offer, you’re bound to have some questions. We’ve identified some common questions we’ve received and have put together the information below that will help you to plan your visit. If you don’t see what you are looking for, please always feel free to contact 6S River Ranch.
Bring your rifle and ammunition (or bow, muzzleloader, etc.), of course, along with camouflage in shades of brown, tan, and green. You’ll find 8X or 10X binoculars helpful, as well. Bring shooting sticks or a bipod if you like to use those, and a hunting/skinning knife if you want to participate in skinning and quartering your animals. Bring a quality cooler for transport of your meat and trophies home from the ranch. Don’t forget your camera!
If you’re spending the night in our lodge, it is not necessary to bring linens, towels, or cooking and eating utensils and equipment. That is all supplied. Bring your toiletries, clothing, and food, and beverages.
The best answer to that is – the caliber with which you are most comfortable and can make precise shots. That said, a .243 is a good minimum for whitetail, hogs, and similarly sized exotics. A .25- 06, .270, .30-30, or .308 would be excellent for anything on 6S River Ranch. And, a .30-06 would not be too large by any means, and for the tough aoudad sheep, it might be just right. Shooting distances will generally be less than 200 yards.
