Hunting Lodge
Spare time is always available in Round Timber, Texas where the 4CO, Four County Outfitters, Hunting Lodge is located. Placed at the Southeast corner of Baylor County, Round Timber was the first settled community there. The historic ranch is owned by the Portwood Ranch and Company and operated by Young Land and Cattle. True Texas cowboys still live and work on the ranch daily. It is not uncommon to be delayed by a cattle drive on your way to a hunt.
At our hunting lodge, you can find plenty of nothing to do. Clear your mind and relax or play a game of pool or cornhole with your buddies. At night you can sit by the campfire and look up at the “Stars at Night…. Deep in the Heart of Texas.”
The 4CO hunting lodge is an updated ranch house at the old headquarters of the Portwood Ranch. The 4-bedroom hunting lodge is spacious enough to host even our largest hunting groups. Each bedroom will sleep 4 guests and has its own private bathroom. The game room is equipped with a 9-foot tournament style Brunswick pool table and electronic dart board for you to enjoy during down time. The big screen TV is equipped with satellite service to watch your favorite hunting shows or your teams' game on TV.
You will not need to bring any bedding or toiletries with you as the hunting lodge is fully stocked for all your basic needs. The kitchen stays filled with beverages and snacks for you to enjoy between hunts and between meals. All the meals are prepared in the kitchen from scratch, to give you a true taste of Texas.
We know that when people come to Texas, they expect to eat good food. At our hunting lodge, you will eat like a king. Family-Style dining is in order when eating at the hunting lodge. We prepare each meal just before we serve it, to give you the freshest food possible. Many of our meals are cooked over Texas mesquite firewood or smoked in its savory flavored smoke. You will not find the quality of food we make in a restaurant anywhere. Our meals are part of the true Texas experience that you’ll get at 4CO, and the reason many of our hunters are so eager to get back here.
Outside the hunting lodge you will find things to complete your experience here. If you like to play games, we have a regulation sized horseshoe pit or we can bring out the corn hole boards for some good ol’ country fun. No hunting trip is complete without a campfire. Outside the hunting lodge is where the fire pit is set up, complete with chairs and tables surrounding it for everyone to gather around to tell lies. It’s also where the magic of cooking with mesquite wood takes place. A custom-made Texas style smoker slow cooks meats to perfection and our fire pit is equipped with a grill top to add authenticity to any food cooked over its coals.
Our philosophy at 4CO is to give every client an experience unlike one they can find anywhere else. While many of the modern amenities, like internet are available, we choose to disconnect while we create an atmosphere to bring people closer together. Cellular service for most providers is good around the hunting lodge. You will be able to contact loved ones and make work calls whenever it is needed, but cellular data service is at a premium. If internet connection is necessary, a hot spot device is good to bring or a short trip down the road will do the trick.
The 4CO hunting lodge is just the place to make your Texas hunt, a true Texas hunting experience. Whether you bring the family, or make it a business trip, or just come to hang out with your best hunting buddies, you will take home memories from our hunting lodge. It may be the food, connecting with a new friend, or making a memory with a loved one, spending time at the 4CO hunting lodge is another reason why we say it’s Texas hunting, done right!

The Food
Whether you have been to 4CO or you're thinking about going, it’s worth booking your next hunt here for just the food. Home cooked, freshly prepared, Texas cuisine will be on the menu when you arrive at 4CO until the night before you leave. Texas favorites like tender chicken fried steak, spicy Tex-Mex, juicy ribeye steaks, and mesquite smoked BBQ will not let you leave hungry.
Every day of your hunt, you will be eating food prepared daily at the 4CO hunting lodge. Lunch and dinner will include some of our favorites listed above along with others you are sure to enjoy. Breakfast is set out at our breakfast bar so that you can grab a quick bite before your morning hunt. Your lunch may be eaten on location at one of the ranches you will be hunting, or you may be back at the hunting lodge for lunch and a quick nap before the evening hunt. Dinner will be served family style in the dining room every evening at the hunting lodge.
The food and the atmosphere are all part of what makes our hunts part of your lasting memories. Also, another reason we say 4CO is “Texas Hunting, Done Right.” Your unique authentic Texas experience awaits, contact us today to book!
