black buck

Also known as the Indian Antelope, the black buck is not only  a beautiful trophy to mount, but also makes for a delicious meal at your dinner table.   Many black bucks located on the grounds are trophy size and available year round  for hunting. 



white tail

The most popular hunt we offer is white tail.  The variety of bucks located here is quite diverse.  Whether you are wanting a trophy buck, management hunt, cull buck or just a meat hunt to fill up your freezer, we have it all and prices will be based on the specific hunt requested.


turkey

Wild turkeys have made a strong come back in Texas.  With rolling plains, tall trees, and recent rainfall, the land offers favorable roosting for wild turkey.  You can strictly turkey hunt, or add wild turkey hunting to your current booking.  Bag a few just in time for the holidays.  Viva wild turkey revival!


Barbados Bucks

The Barbados Black Belly is a domestic breed of sheep from the Caribbean Island of Barbados.  This breed is primarily raised for their lean and mild meat.  We have a truly amazing  selection of Barbados that wander the hunting grounds.

about us

araujo outfitters

Araujo Outfitters is a family owned and operated hunting service.  We take pride in the management of our land and animals.  All  hunting takes place on our family ranch that has been passed down from generation to generation.  The hunting land spans across 2,500 beautiful acres of West Texas.  We do not hunt our does.  The ranch is surrounded by free range, low fence lines bringing in a wide selection of bucks to hunt.  This is truly an opportunity  for a once in a lifetime hunting experience. 

All hunts are semi or fully guided.  You can choose to stalk your prey from the ground walking, or from a various number of blinds located around the property.  Many feeders are situated around the ranch at prime hunting spots.   We welcome archery hunters, black powder hunters, and the traditional rifle hunters at Araujo Outfitters.   All hunts include an assortment of homemade snacks or sack lunches at no additional cost.  We also provide cold drinks and water during your hunt.

"Would like to say how thankful I am to be involved with Araujo Outfitters! Great choice to spend time to hunt and enjoy their land during the hunt.  The result of Brandon's knowledge of hunting, animals, and the general outdoors was an enjoyable and remarkable trip for me! Along with all that... got a trophy blackbuck 29" on the spiral!"
