. This is a legendary, 90,000 acre ranch right in the middle of the famed "Brush Country" of south Texas. Living up to those legends, this ranch produced a true Boone and Crockett Record Book buck in the 1999-2000 season. The net score was 171 5/8ths typical for that trophy deer. That same year, a bowhunter took a Pope and Young 153 gross score buck deer that my old partner, Charles, scouted out for him. A number of other excellent bucks over 150 gross B&C were also taken by gunhunters. A gross 174 plus B&C buck was taken for 2001-2002. A gross score 186, a 189, a 191 and a 193 were taken for 2002-2003. A gross 178 and several 160 plus were taken in 2003, so the legend continues. . 90% of the hunting on this ranch will be done by spot and stalking, shots will most likely be taken from a prone or sitting position (a bipod would be helpful) at a distance of under 150 yards. Tripods, portable ground blinds, brush blinds and some tower stands may also be utilized. ANTLER RATTLING is generally reserved for the South Texas Trophy and Superior Hunters (Dec. 9th - Jan. 4th). Nov. 10th - Dec. 8th is pre-rut and a great time to see lots of bucks in bachelor groups before they split up, start fighting and become harder to pattern. This season our 4-1/2 year and 5-1/2 year old age classes were our strongest ranch wide so there is going to be plenty of big old deer to look at. Rain this past Dec. also kept us out of the pastures a lot, so many of the 5 1/2 and 6 1/2 year old deer that should have been harvested this past season, weren't. That means plenty of mature bucks coming up for next season. The ranch is part of the Managed Land Program so deer hunting, buck or doe, gun or bow, can occur from September 27, 2003 until February 1, 2004. We have a number of repeat clients, so book early for the best dates .. click below to see package details *HF means Harvest Fee Does and Hogs $625-700 $2500 TWO Guide's Choice Bucks $2250 Management Buck $3000 + HF Wallhanger Buck $4000 + HF South Texas Trophy $4000 + HF Superior Trophy Buck . |
