Close to town. Made for time together.
A place to stay together, with room to spread out.
Just 20 minutes outside Abilene, Buffalo Mountain Ranch brings together 50 beds, two kitchens, dedicated dining and meeting spaces, and an outdoor equestrian arena. Surrounding the Camp are more than 4,400 acres of open ranchland, home to bison, elk, whitetail deer, turkey, and more. Your group can feel removed from town without the long drive.
Stay at the Camp
Fifty beds, separate gathering and dining spaces, and three buildings that let larger groups stay together in one place.

Hunting at Buffalo Mountain
Exceptional hunting, decades in the making.
For roughly 25 years, our family has invested in the careful management of the ranch’s habitat, herds, and genetics. That long-term work has shaped the quality of the animals found here and the hunting experiences Buffalo Mountain offers today.

Another way to experience the ranch.
The outdoor equestrian arena gives riders a dedicated place to ride, while trail-riding opportunities offer another way to experience the land. The nearby Camp keeps groups close to the arena and one another throughout their stay.

The ranch has changed. The connection to the land has not.
Herman J. Ledbetter purchased Buffalo Mountain Ranch in the 1970s and first operated it primarily as a cattle ranch. Roughly 25 years ago, his son, Herman “Jay” Ledbetter Jr., began developing its hunting program.
Today, Jay’s sons, Aaron and Daniel, continue to grow Buffalo Mountain Ranch in new and exciting ways. The ranch now welcomes retreats, private gatherings, equestrian activities, group stays, and exceptional hunts while remaining firmly rooted in the family and land that shaped it.
