Spanish Dagger Hunting Resort

The Spanish Dagger is a premier upland hunting destination managed by Alan Phillips. It is dedicated to the outdoor enthusiast.

Located half-way between romantic San Antonio and the Mexican border at the gateway to the Texas Hill Country, the ranch has more than 2,000 acres of trails, fields, and woodlands.

Since January 2005 the Spanish Dagger has been owned by John Pettit. He has been a professional guide and outfitter for nearly 20 years hunting for Cape Buffalo in Tanzania, Africa, sport fishing the waters of Costa Rica, and hunting white tail deer in the prestigious "Golden Triangle" of South Texas.

Mr. Pettit, a native Texan, has brought his love for hunting back to the area where he first experienced the great outdoors and the camaraderie of hunting with friends and family and he now makes his home in Uvalde, Texas, the center of the south Texas hunting world. Upon moving back to the Uvalde area Mr. Pettit Acquired the Scott Farm, a 440 acre farm located in northwest Zavala County, Texas and combined that with his knowledge of South Texas and his vast hunting expertise to create JP Outdoors. JP Outdoors provides Hunters with first rate accommodations and exceptional hunting experiences.

JP Outdoors and the Scott Farm, are located at the apex of the Central, South, and Special White Wing Dove hunting Zones. JP Outdoors provides day hunting to groups and individuals as well as "all inclusive" dove hunting adventures, for individual and corporate clientele, packages can include lodging, guided hunts, catered meals and bird cleaning services.

Waterfowl Outfitters Unlimited

Waterfowl Outfitters Unlimited is located in Eagle Lake, Texas, known as the "Goose Hunting Capital of the World." The goose hunting in the area has been known for many years as some of the best in the world. A large part of this is due to the thousands of acres of crop land, mainly consisting of rice, which act as wetlands and prime feeding ground for waterfowl.

Every year several hundred acres of land are flooded to serve as holding ponds or rest ponds. These ponds are not hunted allowing hundreds of thousands of geese to roost every night.
