Description: Santa Anna Hunting Area (SAHA) is a family run hunting preserve. Eldena and I run the day-by-day operations on the section size preserve (600 acres) which include: Pheasant, Chukar, Hungarian Partridge and Quail hunts.John R. Stearns started Santa Anna Hunting Area in 1988. He realized then that hunting was becoming less and less accessible and that hunting has never been free. The days of the knock on the door "Can I hunt" and the "cheap hunting lease" are gone.I was fortunate to have been raised in a hunting tradition. As a boy, I don't remember a time without the lick to my face by a dog. My family had wire haired terriers inside and English Pointers outside. Teasing a pointer with a quail on a pole, trying to find the next "snakefoot" was part of the summer vacation. In West Texas the end of the summer meant Labor Day and dove hunting, followed by quail hunting.
After high school, I worked for Dad stringing barbed wire around what would be Santa Anna Hunting Area. I was struck with the beauty and quiet of the Santaanna Mountain then and even more now.Set in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Shonto Ranch is home to some of the most beautiful scenery that Texas has to offer. Located just a few minutes from Kerrville, Texas, we offer an unparalleled hunting and fishing experience that you will remember for a lifetime. Herds of wildlife, miles of crystal clear, spring fed creeks and lakes, and groves of majestic oaks and pecans sprawl out over the 1000+ acres that make Shonto Ranch so special.

For over a decade, Shonto Ranch was a private family ranch groomed and managed to create a special environment of green pastures, big bucks, and lunker fish. In October of 2000, we opened the ranch to guided hunting, fishing, and camera safari adventures. Until that time, only eight mature whitetail bucks were taken, allowing for the development of an outstanding trophy whitetail population. Shonto Ranch is now the perfect Texas hill country whitetail ranch - and our customers agree. Read more about our whitetail hunting in our Whitetail Section.The population of exotic animals has also been grown and supplemented over time, giving the ranch a large and diverse number of Texas exotics, including a world class axis deer population. Read more about our exotics hunting in our Exotics Section.
