Wormy's Ranch

Come visit us at Historic Wormy’s Ranch. We have over 3600 acres for you to spread out and enjoy the outdoors. Coming to Wormy’s Ranch is like going back in time. Our back roads are bumpy and our cattle pens are rusted. We don’t have a fancy lodge or any flat screen TV’s, instead we have thousands of acres of untouched East Texas piney woods for you to enjoy. The old cabins and barns tell a story that you can be a part of and create memories for a life time with your friends and family.

The wild game at the ranch is plentiful and we are always adding to it. We have hundreds of wild hogs, whitetail deer, and exotic deer from all around the world. Whether you want to relax on your own or tag along with a guide we can create your ultimate hunting adventure. Our guides have 4 wheel drive ATVs to transport you and your kills. Tree stands and blinds are scattered throughout the property as well as 2 ton corn satellite feeders.

We are great at handling big groups. We have the ability to accommodate up to 40 people at a time. Campers, RVs, and ATVs are welcome. A 250 yard  private shooting range is available complete with steel targets for easy shooting. Explosive ranges are also available.

Thanks for your interest in Wormy’s Ranch. Prices for Wild Hog Hunting depend on how many hunters and how many days your group stays for. Our ranch is very different than any other in the state because animals are guaranteed to be here 365 days a year and it’s large enough to have the freedom to move around on your own and relax. Our hunting areas are private so you don’t have to worry about other hunters you don’t know.

For over 100 years the Vanecek’s have worked the combined 3600 acres here at Wormy’s Ranch just North of Trinity, TX.  They are one of the oldest families in the area. The Vanecek’s came from South Dakota on horse back with several other families during the cattle boom of the 1800’s on news of cheap land for sale in Texas. Unfortunately most of the families, including the Vanecek’s, became victims of a popular land scam at the time. The salesman unwittingly showed the start up Cow Boys land in South Texas. The massive fields of grass were plentiful and suited for cattle, however, they sold them land in East Texas thick with coniferous forests and displaced Indian Tribes. The land had to be cleared for raising cattle and crops. Most of the families struggled, eventually leaving the unsettled Yellow Pine Woods for Houston and Austin.

The Vanecek’s stayed and decided to tough it out. Hunting Game and rounding up Wild Hogs and cows. They cut timber and grew crops. By the time the great depression came around the Vaneceks were well suited for it. The knowledge of the forests even helped them trap Wild Hogs to sale at auction in Dallas during the hard times, providing much needed meat. Johnny Vanecek would round up the Feral Hogs on horse back and use dogs to run them into portable pens deep in the woods. Sometimes the local ranchers would catch the wild sows marking theirs ears with identifying slices so they could  release them only to catch them again when their fat and good for eating. Without a doubt the Vanecek’s were one of the first families in Texas to start the hog hunting craze that exists today over 100 years ago.
