Imagine yourself eagerly anticipating
the joy of a good Texas hunting trip. As morning breaks slowly
- cold, crisp and clear, the sun gently rises over
the oaks and the early light pierces the fog. Mother
Nature awakens; the deer move gently toward the
rye grass fields or the feeders and the waterfowl
lift off their roost. The skies echo with the honking
of ducks, geese and sandhill
crane as they fly across, surveying the wetlands
below. |

 The Knolle Farm and Ranch is situated in the Nueces
River Valley in south TX, surrounded by dense brush,
abundant grain fields and numerous flooded wetlands.
This unique location and habitat, coupled with a
half-century of feeding dairy cattle, results in
a tremendous number of dove, duck, geese, turkey,
hogs and deer. We offer to our guests the chance
to share in well-planned, guided morning hunts or
relaxed informal afternoon dove
hunts. To make your hunting trip experience
complete, we also offer fully-guided quail
hunts, complete with trained dogs. Waterfowl
hunting takes place on over thousands of acres
of cropland and flooded reservoirs and deer
hunters have access to 2,500 acres of hunting
land, where blinds and feeders are strategically
set up to guarantee the safety and the best access
to wildlife. |

| Our waterfowl
hunting is renowned, not just because of our
position in a major flyway between Lake Corpus Christi
and the bay, but because of the lack of pressure
on the birds and the ease of hunting here. Our wetlands
beckon a variety of migratory birds as they are
places where the birds can rest before taking off
to a new destination. Our experienced field guides
put out a decoy spread and do all processing of
birds. |

 Non-waterfowl
hunting can range from a "meat hunt," for doe,
spike, hog and turkey, to a full-blown South Texas trophy
hunt. Our packages include 4 guided
hunts (2 morning and 2 afternoon hunts), plus accommodations.
Meals can be added and prices may
vary according to kill. Our quail hunts are a South Texas specialty with non-stop excitement for the experienced or novice hunters alike. Hunts can be half-day or full-day, and all include guide, good dogs, and comfortable rigs. You may
walk or ride, but be ready for lots of exciting wing-shooting. With our location, we have tremendous habitat for Turkey, roosting in the huge oak trees that surround the Nueces River. Whether it's fall turkey hunting, mixed with a deer or hog hunt, or the Spring season, our guides are accomplished in calling up the "Big Ones", and providing guests with an experience they will never forget. |

 If
skeet shooting is your weakness, try our sporting
clay course. Situated in the huge oaks on the edge
of a waterfowl sanctuary,
it is more than your usual skeet range. The trees
house remote-controlled throwers that allow year-round
practice and the natural environment presents a
unique set of challenges for the novice or the advanced
shooter. This clay course provides a great day activity
for parties and get togethers. |

We provide dogs for all of our guided
bird hunts. Hunters are welcome to bring their dogs,
if they are well-behaved and do not interfere with
other hunters. We do have kennels available, but
we request that you bring a box for your dog and
that they be kept out of guest house. Please check
with us prior to your arrival if bringing a dog. |
