Hunt, Butcher and Cook Experience

Hunt, Prepare and Cook with Mike

A complete Texas field-to-fork experience

This is a rare opportunity to learn the deerstalking, shooting and fieldcraft skills that Mike Robinson has developed over many years in the field.

Offered only five times each year during the winter months, this private experience is available for groups of up to four guests - 2 hunting pairs.

The day begins with a morning of stalking on Mike’s 2,500-acre low-fence hunting lease, located close to Hill House in the Texas Hill Country. The deer are fully wild, making this an authentic and challenging hunting experience.

What You Will Learn

During the morning, guests will learn how to:

  • Stalk fully wild Whitetail deer

  • Shoot accurately and confidently from sticks

  • Improve practical field-shooting skills

  • Select an appropriate management deer

  • Properly field dress, bleed and transport the animal

The experience includes the opportunity to take one non-trophy Whitetail management. deer, male or female, per hunting pair. Rifles will be provided.

After the hunt, we return to Hill House for one-to-one instruction in skinning and butchery. You will prepare your deer under Mike’s guidance, and the finished meat will be packaged and frozen for you.

The day then moves into the Hill House kitchen, where we will prepare wild venison and wild boar for an early celebratory feast.

Partners are welcome to join us for dinner at approximately 5pm $250

Price - $10,000 for a private group of up to 2 hunting pairs

Optional Trophy Animals

Occasionally, a mature antlered Axis deer or Whitetail may be encountered. If a guest wishes to take one of these animals, this must be agreed with the guide and will incur an additional fee.

  • Mid-sized male Axis deer: $4,000

  • Large trophy Axis deer: $7,000

Availability cannot be guaranteed, and all decisions in the field remain at the discretion of the guide.

A valid Texas hunting licence and all legally required hunting credentials are essential. Guests must provide their licence details before attending.

This experience is suitable for both newer and more experienced hunters. Safety, ethical harvesting and respect for the animal are central to the day.
