We came back for a reason.

An aoudad hunt introduced us to Pope Brothers. A turkey trip with Luke confirmed what we already felt: this was a team we wanted to hunt with again.

From one hunt to the next.

We met the Pope Brothers team a couple of years ago and knew we wanted to spend time in the field with them. Our first hunt put me alongside Dying Breed Television pro staff member Kayla Kitchens in pursuit of aoudad. We came away with a huge ram, but the trophy was only part of what stayed with us. The experience made us start talking about when we could return.

That return trip became a turkey hunt with Luke and me. Luke took a beautiful bird, and I was fortunate enough to take one too. Those are the days you hope for when you travel to hunt: good opportunities, great people, and stories you are still telling after you get home.

Pope Brothers showed us the range of what Texas can offer. Their team brings decades of combined experience to a remarkable selection of hunts, from whitetail and turkey to aoudad and many exotic species. They can also help arrange lodging and meals around the hunt. For us, the difference is the way the whole experience comes together—from the first conversation to the last evening in camp.

If Texas is on your hunting list, I would start the conversation with Pope Brothers. Tell them what you hope to hunt and the kind of trip you want to make. They can walk you through the available species, locations, accommodations, and current options.
