A Legacy of Land, Bowhunting, and Family: The Story Behind Brushy Hill Game Ranch
What began as a family inheritance has blossomed into one of South Texas’ most treasured bowhunting destinations — Brushy Hill Game Ranch, a 12,000+ acre bow-only property run by Pete and Ava Denney on historic Rehm Ranch, just south of Sabinal.
Rooted in six generations of family history dating back to an original Spanish land grant, the ranch’s rich legacy lives on through the Denneys’ passion for conservation, tradition, and the thrill of the hunt. Pete, a lifelong rancher and musician, and Ava, an expert markswoman and world traveler turned country woman, have built more than a hunting destination — they’ve built a community of returning clients turned lifelong friends.
From custom-placed hunting camps, safety-first rules, and exclusive archery-only hunts to jam sessions in the Denneys' “Speak Easy” barn bar and scenic kayak trips down the Sabinal River — the Brushy Hill experience is as soulful as it is adventurous. With generations of hunters requesting to have their ashes scattered on the property, it's clear the land holds a deep emotional resonance for many.
🏕️ Whether you’re there for a trophy buck or just to soak in the serenity of nature, Brushy Hill Game Ranch offers an unforgettable escape from city life.
