affordable north texas hunting lodge

Are you ready for your next hunting endeavor, but want to keep a tight rein on your budget? Nine Bar Ranch, an expansive hunting ranch located in Decatur, Texas, should be your first-stop. A staple in the community since the early 1900’s, Nine Bar Ranch offers exceptional opportunities for hunting, fellowship and camaraderie with guides and other hunters, and outstanding accommodations. We strive to be an affordable north Texas hunting lodge that offers unparalleled adventures for our customers.

On over 12,000 acres of vast and extensive Texas land, we take our customers on one-of-a-kind guided hunting trips. As one of the finest hunting ranches in Texas, our customers know that the money they put into a trip will be well spent. Though the apex of the hunting trip is gaining your prize, we value the rest of your experience as well. Being able to relax, enjoy yourself, connect with others, and enjoy good food is all part of the trip. We also don’t want you to be worried about how much money you’re spending either, which is why we make every effort to maintain our notoriously affordable and inclusive prices.

The type of animal that you are looking to hunt will determine the best time of year to visit Nine Bar Ranch. For example, Whitetail season occurs from the beginning of October until the end of February. Here at Nine Bar Ranch, Whitetail season is one of our customers’ favorites. There’s no doubt that you’ll be bringing home a big buck when you hunt with us.

The other types of deer that we commonly hunt here in north Texas include the Sika Deer and Red Deer; these species have a main hunting season that runs from September 1 to October 1. You’ll be amazed at the sounds these very interesting deer produce. Also commencing on September 1 will be the ever-exciting dove season. Listening to dove calls while out on your hunt is an incredibly relaxing way to become one with nature.

Though we do have specific ranges of time that define a hunting season, we are flexible in working with your schedule. Our Whitetail packages include a two-day hunt that includes meals, lodging, and guide service. Aligning ourselves with the rhythms of nature, we make it part of our routine to hunt in the early morning and late evening. Following your hunt, you’ll return to cozy quarters and satiating, delicious food.

In addition to Whitetail packages, we also offer two-day hunts for several other types of game. Our two-day hunts range in price, but all are well worth it. Just read a few of the multitude of glowing testimonials and you’ll instantly know just how much everyone loves hunting at Nine Bar. All of our packages are inclusive, so that our guests do not have to worry about what they’ll eat, where they’ll sleep, or where they’ll be hunting. We don’t want you to have to do anything but enjoy yourself while you’re with us.

NOTE: Our turkey and hog hunting packages sit lower on the price range simply because these species are more populous which makes hunting them a sure thing.

Leading up to your hunting adventure at Nine Bar, it’s crucial that you pack the necessary clothes and supplies. Most importantly, we suggest wearing hunter’s clothing. You should wear light-colored and lightweight cotton, camouflage clothing in addition to well-fitting boots.
