Today I have a great opportunity for someone who likes to hunt, and help other people to enjoy a successful hunting experience. I’ll be talking with an employer from Texas who operates a ranch specifically catering to hunters.
Bill Morgan owns South Texas Ranch. It’s a property that has been in his family for four generations.
When it started, the business focused solely on cattle. Today, the 700-acre property hosts hunters from all over America who are looking to bag animals like whitetail and axis deer, wild hogs, black buck, fallow, oryx and red stag.
Bill’s operation is so successful that he guarantees hunters will be able to find something to shoot or they don’t pay for the experience.
He likes to hire Workamping couples so one person can help with the hunt and skinning animals, and the other tends to the lodge. Ideally, one or both of the Workampers should enjoy hunting and being around hunters.
Bill doesn’t hire a lot of Workampers because the ones who work for him often return year-after-year. But, those who do work for him enjoy some nice perks.
They work about 20 hours a week, depending upon when hunts are scheduled. In return Workampers receive a free full-hookup RV site with all utilities provided. They also receive a stipend of $200 per month; however, Workampers may also receive tips from hunters as well.
Ideally, Bill likes to hire a couple, but he will consider a solo Workamper, too. Because of the presence of rattlesnakes on the property, he does not feel it would be a good experience for families with younger children.
The season starts in November and continues through April. One Workamper ensures the lodge is clean and the rooms are made up for the guests. The other Workamper will mow the lawn, ensure animal feeders are full, repair fences and field dress animals taken in the hunt.
At the end of the day, Bill puts on an old-fashioned Texas barbecue for guests, and Workampers assist in preparing the meals, too.
The South Texas Hunting Service ranch is located between Laredo and Corpus Christi. Whether you like ocean activities or traditional western fun, both are available about an hour away. San Antonio and the famous River Walk is about two hours away. It is possible to drive to either Austin and Houston in less than three hours.
Bill only accepts calls about the jobs when a position is advertised on the Workamper News website. So, if you’re interested, be sure to set up a job alert to be notified as soon as an opportunity becomes available.
For more information and to see photos of the ranch and animals found on the property, visit www.southtexashuntingservice.com.
Bill also encouraged Workampers looking for a little excitement to book a hunting excursion at the ranch when they’re passing through the area.

That’s all I have for this week’s show. Next time, I will be speaking with a gentleman who started a franchise of RV rental facilities. He will be talking about ways Workampers can make money by renting out other people’s RVs. I’ll have more details on the next episode of The Workamper Show. Thanks for listening.
