Fallow deer hunts
Rustic Springs offers Trophy Texas Blackbuck Hunts!
Trophy fallow buck hunts in East Texas
Fallow deer are the showpiece of an exotic hunt: wide, palmated antlers, a herd that moves in the open, and a mature buck that stands out from a long way off. At Rustic Springs Ranch in Franklin County, East Texas, we hunt fallow in the fall, on a fully guided basis, under 2 hours from Dallas.
Fall is when fallow bucks are in hard antler and rutting. Bucks are croaking and pushing does, and the herd feeds hard as the weather cools, which puts mature bucks in front of the blind. Fallow hunts book up early, so reserve your dates before the season.

What to expect on your hunt
You bring your own rifle, or ask us about a loaner. A valid Texas hunting license is required, and out-of-state hunters can buy a 5-day exotic non-resident license through Texas Parks and Wildlife. A 50 percent non-refundable deposit reserves your dates, and reschedules need at least 30 days' notice. If an animal is shot and not recovered, the hunter is responsible for the full price of the animal. There is no minimum age to hunt; youth hunt alongside a parent under Texas Parks and Wildlife rules.
