Lonesome Whale Ranch is located in the Texas Hill Country north of Lampasas. Our ranch is low fence, you will be hunting wild animals that roam freely throughout the hill country. Our land was purchased from a larger several thousand-acre ranch that saw no hunting for decades because it was home to champion racehorses. The owner, for good reason, did not allow shooting or hunting near his prized horses. Before that, this area of Texas was known for two very different things - relaxation and outlaws. Law enforcement and rangers across the state dreaded losing the trail of outlaws on the run near Lampasas, they often found refuge and hiding in the vast, varying landscape. The town was also known for its seven spring-fed mineral pools - the first discovered in Texas. So for tourists and bandits of the 19th century alike, it became a favorite destination.
