Welcome to Shoe String Safaris - Many Thanks for visiting our site. In 1998 Lora, my wife and business partner started Shoe String Safaris, which was a guided javelina hunting service in Pecos county Texas.

In 2009, we became associated with a long time friend and collegue, Robert W. Stewart, of Stewart Ranch Enterprises in Olney Texas.

While javelina hunts can be arranged during the spring on the ranch in Pecos county, our main focus will be hunting opportunities available in the north central Texas counties of Archer and Young around the town of Olney.

Robert has been managing these properties since 2000 and the results are excellent.

Along with hunting, Robert also helps with the day to day management of the families grocery store in Olney, which also offers a complete line of wildlife feeds, feeders, and hunting stands along with hunting and fishing supplies, he also manages the farming and ranching operations on the land he and his family own.

Game available for hunting on these properties include white tail deer / feral hog / dove / waterfowl / predators / bobwhite quail and rio grande strain wild turkey.

These properties are located approximately 2 hours west / north west of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex / DFW Airport.

PayPal accepted. Contact us for details.

Many Thanks for your interest in our hunting operation.

We promise our clients, that our staff will do everything possible to ensure them of a quality and hopefully successful hunting experience

With that in mind, we request that our clients keep the following things in mind while hunting with us.

1. We make no guarantees, expressed / written or implied in regards to our clients success or lack there of on their hunt.

2. We expect our clients to handle their firearms safely at all times, regardless of where they are at.

3. We expect our clients to decide their level of involvement in any activities during their hunt. Hunting is a dangerous activity with many built in risk factors. We will not ask or expect any of our clients to do anything they are uncomfortable doing.

4. We have no control over game movement or the factors that effect them, we will do our best to get our clients on to game, but because you will be hunting on working ranch and farm lands, normal farming and ranching actities may have an adverse effect on game movement on some properties.

5. We expect our clients to listen to their guides. We respect the fact that it is your hunt, please respect the fact that our guides have years of experience hunting in this area / on these properties, and know what they are doing.

We will do everything we possibly can to ensure our clients a memorable experience, but we expect our clients to operate within the limits of their physical capabilities and their expertise level with their firearms, with that stated, we make no guarantees in any way concerning the safety or success of our clients.

Again, Many Thanks For Your Interest In Our Operation, and I hope we can put a hunt package together for you.
