About Texas Hunt Lodge
Your Texas Exotic Safari Experts
Founded in 2008, Earning “Outfitter of the Year” Honors — Year After Year
Since 2008, Texas Hunt Lodge has built a reputation around one thing: big trophies and a first-class experience in the Texas Hill Country. With 500+ world-record trophies on the books and “Outfitter of the Year” honors for 16 consecutive years, THL has become the standard others are measured against.
We are unapologetically trophy-focused. Our guides are known for being patient and selective—only letting you shoot and working to get you on the biggest animals possible, not the first animal that shows up. Holding numerous world records, Texas Hunt Lodge stands alone as the best outfitter around.
Hunting over 50,000+ acres in the Hill Country area, guests have the opportunity to hunt multiple ranches and experience the full beauty of the region—varied terrain, sweeping views, and the true Texas Hill Country lifestyle.
New Ownership: R. Meador Hall
Today, Texas Hunt Lodge is proudly owned by R. Meador Hall, an Austin-based entrepreneur and family man whose life centers around faith, family, and the outdoors. Meador owns Armour Development, Party Barn, and now Texas Hunt Lodge. He has been married to his loving wife Sara for 10 years this August, and his life is fulfilled by his two children, Hazel (7) and MJ (Meador Junior) (4). Both of his kids love Texas Hunt Lodge, and his daughter Hazel was named Huntress of the Year, becoming the youngest to ever receive that honor.
Meador’s path to Texas Hunt Lodge is deeply personal. When his father, Mark Creel Hall, was diagnosed with terminal cancer, his dad had one last wish: one more hunt with his son, Meador—with their family together. Meador sent over 100 emails trying to find a place that could bring him, his father, and his sister Caroline in immediately. Texas Hunt Lodge was the only place that said yes—bringing them in right away and giving them the time they knew they were running out of.
On that trip, Meador harvested the 2023 North American Record Red Stag with a crossbow—a perfect last memory with his father, who passed away just a few weeks later. Meador has dedicated himself and the ownership of Texas Hunt Lodge to his father in honor of his memory. The stag is now full-body mounted in the lodge as a permanent tribute to Mark Creel Hall and the moment that changed Meador’s life forever.
That experience is why Texas Hunt Lodge is more than hunting. The lodge allows Meador to host other people and help families create the kind of memories that last forever—moments that become stories, traditions, and legacies passed down for generations.
Serving the Community
Texas Hunt Lodge is also proud to have served as a Rescue and Recovery Center after the horrible floods in Central Texas—inviting volunteers and first responders to stay at the lodge free of charge. THL used every piece of equipment available to help spearhead the rescue and recovery effort. Located on the Guadalupe River, THL was grateful to make it through the flood and chose to pay it forward by helping the community instead of focusing on its own repairs.
Over 90 Species & 30 Ranches | A Texas Hunt Unlike Any Other
With access to more than 30 premier private ranches in Kerr, Gillespie, Mason, Real, Bandera, Brazoria, and Kimble counties, we offer unmatched variety in both exotic and Texas native game species. Your bucket-list hunt is likely already available: Axis, Blackbuck, Nilgai, Aoudad, Red Stag, Bull Elk, and more.
Every hunt—whether trophy or management—is fully guided, utilizing spot‑and‑stalk, safari‑style, still hunting, or even Can-Am scouting like an African-style hunt. We welcome hunters using rifles, bows, crossbows, handguns, black powder, or airguns.
