Skyfall
× Cienega.
A second base in the Chinati Mountains, on the Mexican border — kept in partnership with Cibolo Creek Ranch.
Skyfall keeps a second base in West Texas — a restored 19th-century stronghold called El Fortin de la Cienega, set within Cibolo Creek Ranch in the Chinati Mountains. Three days, four nights. Trophy aoudad, mule deer, free-range elk, mountain lion by opportunity.
The same private use, the same care.
El Fortin de la Cienega — a frontier garrison, still standing.
El Fortin was once a vital stronghold against Comanche raids — a frontier outpost rebuilt for the way the country is hunted now. The walls are original. Everything inside them is not.
The fort sits on Cibolo Creek Ranch, a 30,000-acre private holding in the Chinati Mountains near the Mexican border. The terrain is what makes the hunt: steep, sun-bleached, cinematic. You can glass for an hour without seeing a road. Distances are long, and the wind has opinions.
The partnership between Skyfall and Cibolo Creek began over a fire — Terry, Steve, and Tucker — and grew into the program we run now: a small group, exclusive use of the fort, and a guide team that knows the country down to the draw.
Trophy at extreme distance.
The country runs hard. Glass, climb, set, breathe, send. Aoudad ride the high country in groups of fifteen and twenty; mule deer hold in the saddles below. Free-range elk move on their own schedule. Mountain lion is on draw and is not a sure thing — which is part of why it's here.
Three days in the saddle of the mountain. Four nights at the fort. By the second morning, the rest of the world has gone quiet.
