Below is a list of Texas photo ranches that are registered with Wildlife In Focus and are accepting photographers and videographers as part of the Lone Star Photo or Video Contests. 

Some have lodging options. Some may offer a guide for wildlife photography. A guide can really add to the quality of your photography experience.

Each is a private agricultural/business operation and as such anyone wanting to visit needs to contact them well ahead of the planned visit to make a reservation and learn what fees are required. Many are open independently of the contest dates.

This list is only a starting list showing general areas. Additions will continue to made so check back over time.
