FAQs

We will connect with you once you book a hunt and we will coordinate the time of your arrival. Our ranch manager will greet you, go over hunting license and hunt contract, speak about the hunt, get you settled into the cabin, etc.  You can always call Melanie, our ranch manager, at (210) 875-3476, or Sean, the ranch owner at (214) 632-4524.  

As far as Lodging goes, sodas, waters, gatorades and coffee, comfortable beds in private suites, towels, soap, shampoo…you only need to bring the following with you:

• Personal hunting gear, including appropriate clothing (suggest layers, check the weather in advance for Graham TX...this is north Texas and our weather fluctuates), boots, binoculars, etc.
• Personal toiletries and medication
• Pre-sighted gun and ammo (we will do an accuracy check upon arrival)
• Coolers if you’re taking meat home
• Your preferred alcoholic beverage (once you start consuming...hunting is done for the day)

You will need to secure a valid Texas Hunting License before your arrival (you can purchase at any sporting goods stores, Wal-Mart and online at (https://tpwd.texas.gov/business/licenses/online_sales/). Texas hunting licenses vary in cost from $7 for Youth Hunters, $25 for a Resident Hunting License and up to $315 for Non-Resident Whitetail Hunters. Note, there is a special 5-day Non-Resident Exotic Hunting license for $48 if you only plan to hunt Exotics at the Double M Squared Ranch. 

Meat Processing Options

You are free to take the meat with you or use the processor we work with frequently, Clearfork Country Meat Processing in Graham, TX (approximately 15 miles from Double M Squared). Clearfork Country has been making a name for itself recently and is trusted wild game meat processors.  We do not have a financial relationship with Clearfork Country Meat Processing, but have been pleased with their work.

Processing times will vary with the size of the animal.  Whitetail, Hogs and the exotics at the Double M Squared Ranch will typically hang for a few days, then processed exactly how you order (2 steaks to a package, 1lb Burger packaging with beef fat or brisket, etc.)  Sausage will take a bit longer as there is more work to this process.  

Alternatively, we can quarter your animals so you can put in cooler and take home with you with.  Red Deer and Pere David are large animals so if you are planning to take home in quarters, be sure you bring multiple coolers.

Our guides only skin for rug or shoulder/pedestal mount and Quarter the animals…we do not break down the muscle groups or take off the bone.  We will hang these quarters in our Walk-in Cooler and help you load when you are ready.  Please keep in mind the time of year for this process…if it is 90 degrees outside, it will take some time to fully skin and quarter your animal and hang in the cooler…sometimes it’s best to use the meat processor if you want the best results.  

Final Payment of your Invoice

Once we agree on a hunting date with you and issue a contract, we will secure a deposit to hold your date. We will settle up with you at the ranch at the conclusion of your hunt.  We accept Check, Cash, Venmo, PayPal and other forms. We also accept wire transfer.  Please make arrangements with your bank or credit card company in advance

Gratuity to Staff

We do not include a gratuity to staff in our pricing.  This amount is up to you and is greatly appreciated, though industry standard is around 10% of your hunt to be distributed to the Guide and Ranch Manager.  Our Guides depend on gratuities as part of making a living.
