Nestled in the sprawling expanse of the Texas Hill Country, Recordbuck Ranch stands as a testament to the beauty and heritage of the Lone Star State. Spanning 20,000 contiguous acres across Medina and Uvalde counties, this haven of natural splendor boasts an array of well-managed native and exotic species, drawing hunting enthusiasts from all corners of the globe. With its diverse terrain, from rolling hills to expansive valleys, the ranch provides an idyllic backdrop for various hunting methods, from the stealth of bow blinds to the thrill of spot-and-stalk pursuits.
At the helm of this quintessential Texan paradise are the dynamic husband and wife duo, Janet and Tom Hammond. For almost two decades, they have poured their hearts and souls into nurturing this land, transforming it into a premier hunting destination. Hammond's love affair with hunting began during his childhood in Nebraska, instilled by his father's gift of a shotgun at the tender age of eleven. This passion eventually led him to acquire Recordbuck Ranch, marking the beginning of an extraordinary journey.
While the initial purchase of 7,000 acres was a stroke of serendipity, the subsequent acquisition of an additional 13,000 acres solidified the Hammonds' commitment to expanding the ranch's operations. However, becoming part of the Texan fabric wasn't an overnight occurrence. It took years of dedication and genuine camaraderie to earn the respect and acceptance of the local community, fostering bonds that have transformed him into an honorary Texan among friends and neighbors.
Under the stewardship of Chuck Herndon, the ranch's dedicated manager, and a team of twenty skilled employees, Recordbuck Ranch thrives as a sanctuary for both wildlife and guests alike. With an unwavering commitment to maintaining the natural integrity of the land, the ranch embodies a genuine warmth and hospitality, ensuring that every visitor departs with cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
Beyond the ranch's rustic allure, Tom Hammond's endeavors extend into the realm of philanthropy and community development. From hosting veterans through the Wounded Warrior Project to establishing a local meat processing facility, his passion for giving back to the community resonates deeply within the heart of Texas.
As the embers of the campfire glow against the backdrop of the starry Texas sky, guests gather to share tales of the day's adventures, forging connections that transcend mere acquaintanceship. This sense of camaraderie epitomizes the essence of Recordbuck Ranch, where the spirit of Texas hospitality thrives, and the natural world remains cherished and protected. Looking to the future, the Hammonds remain steadfast in their commitment to preserving the rich heritage of the Texas Hill Country, ensuring that Recordbuck Ranch continues to stand as a testament to the timeless allure of the Lone Star State.
