Seven miles of the Clear Fork of the Brazos River wind and horseshoe through the property providing amazing habitat and incredible hunting opportunities.

Hunting Packages
We host some of the best dove, duck, and turkey hunting the area has to offer. If it has feathers, we like to chase em'. Check out our hunting packages below.
Ducks
From November through January our eyes are in the skies and our minds are focused on ducks. In the early season the widgeon, gadwall, and green wing teal settle into our 10+ cattle tanks(ponds). As the temps drop the canvasbacks, redheads, buffleheads and scaup populate the deeper tanks, while the mallards and pintails head to the river. If we get some good rain in the late fall flooded ag fields also provide some excellent opportunities.
$200 per gun (2 gun minimum, 5 gun max)
Fully guided duck hunt including prebrushed blind, decoys, calling, and dog retrieval. The hunt goes from half hour before sunrise til 11am or until limits are met. All you need is a license, a stamp, a shotgun, and non-toxic shells. Most of our spots are accessible without waders. Meals and lodging are not included, but are available.
Turkeys
When the mercury begins to rise in the spring is when the gobblers get fired up and we can't help but go after em'. Seven miles of private river access and hardwood trees make the Maclemore Ranch a turkey haven. Whether you like to run and gun or hunt from a blind, we can provide an opportunity for you to harvest a beautiful Rio Grande turkey or two. We only book five hunts per year so spots are very limited but it allows us to properly manage the turkey population to ensure they are here for years to come.
$1000-$1500 up to two hunters
Our fully guided turkey hunts go for two days from half an hour before sunrise until sunset with lodging and meals included. Hunter is responsible for tags, a gun, shells, and camo. We do have shotguns available for rent. One gobbler is $1000 and two is $1500. If you get both of your birds on the first day, feel free to stay the second day and fish or kayak the river. In 2024 our clients had a 100% success rate and by the amount of Jakes we had and number of birds we didn't harvest, we expect the same in 2025.

Shackelford and Throckmorton Counties are nationally known for some of the best dove hunting in the country. With over 400 acres of wheat and sunflower fields the dove generally show up in late August and stay all the way past the end of the season.
