Fallow Doe Hunting in Texas

Known for their beautiful coats, alert nature, and tender, mild-flavored meat, fallow deer are a favorite among hunters who appreciate both the pursuit and the harvest.
At BarBell Ranch in Sweetwater, Texas, our fallow doe hunting packages include two does per hunt, giving hunters the opportunity to bring home premium venison from two animals during a single trip.
Whether you're an experienced deer hunter or planning your first exotic meat hunt, pursuing fallow does in West Texas offers a rewarding hunting experience with plenty of value beyond the time spent in the field.
Premium Fallow Venison for the Freezer
Fallow deer are highly regarded for their meat. Fallow venison is naturally lean, tender, and mild in flavor, making it an excellent choice for hunters who enjoy preparing and sharing wild game.
From tenderloins and backstraps to steaks, roasts, ground venison, and sausage, fallow meat is versatile in the kitchen and offers a delicious alternative to traditional whitetail venison.
Unlike trophy fallow buck hunts, where the animal's palmated antlers are a major attraction, our doe hunts focus on quality meat and the experience of pursuing these beautiful deer.
With two does included in each package, hunters can bring home a substantial amount of premium meat while making the most of a single West Texas hunting trip.
Two Fallow Doe Hunting Packages
BarBell Ranch offers two fallow doe hunting packages, each including two does:
- Day Hunt — $1,800: A guided fallow doe hunt for two does without an overnight stay.
- One-Day, One-Night Hunt — $1,950: A guided two-doe hunt with an overnight stay at BarBell Ranch.
These options make it easy to plan a hunting trip that fits your schedule, whether you're traveling from nearby or prefer to enjoy an overnight stay at the ranch.

Spot-and-Stalk or Blind Fallow Doe Hunts
At BarBell Ranch, hunters can choose between professionally guided spot-and-stalk hunting and hunting from a blind.
Spot-and-Stalk Fallow Deer Hunting
For hunters who enjoy an active pursuit, spot-and-stalk hunting offers the challenge of locating fallow deer and carefully working into position for an ethical shot.
Fallow deer are naturally alert, with sharp eyesight and an ability to detect movement. Their cautious behavior can make approaching them challenging, particularly when hunting groups of deer.
Working alongside your guide, you'll use the wind, available cover, and surrounding terrain to plan a careful approach. The challenge of closing the distance on these wary animals adds to the satisfaction of a successful meat hunt.
Hunting Fallow Does From a Blind
Hunters who prefer a more stationary approach can pursue fallow does from one of the ranch's hunting blinds.
Blind hunting allows hunters to observe deer movement and patiently wait for an appropriate shooting opportunity without the physical demands of an active stalk.
Both methods are professionally guided, giving hunters the flexibility to choose an approach suited to their experience and hunting preferences.
