Texas Deer Hunts
We have been hunting whitetails for 40 years, guiding hunts part-time for 28 years and full-time for the past 22 years with an annual success rate of 97-100%. All of our whitetail ranches are professionally managed and have been for many years. Being a full-time wildlife management firm, as well as a full-time guide service, has given us an intimate knowledge of those species in which we choose to pursue. Our ranches are large, up to 20,000 acres each. We hunt our trophy whitetail ranches vary sparingly during the Texas 16 week whitetail deer season to insure our Hunter's success. We also schedule our whitetail deer hunts to coincide with the very best times so our clients have the highest success on 5 1/2 year old bucks and older with trophy quality antlers. By working in cooperation with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Technical Guidance Biologists we have acquired many MLDP (Managed Lands Deer Permit) Level II & III on premier ranches which allow our deer Hunters to hunt whitetail deer from October 1st through February 28th. All of our whitetail hunting packages include outstanding meals and exceptional lodges. All of our trophy hunts are fully guided, either 1 x 1 or 1 x 2. Our Sanctuary and Trophy Hunts have liberal bag limits up to 1 buck and 4 doe deer. We also have affordable Management and Antlerless deer hunts. Our Hunters may also hunt javelina, hogs, predators, and/or exotics for a trophy fee. We can easily accommodate individual hunters up to large corporate groups. Excellent service is our specialty as is customer satisfaction.
Texas Mule Deer Hunts
Texas is home to a number of desert mule deer. These mulies are found in the trans-Pecos mountain region of far west Texas and the Palo Duro Canyon area in the panhandle region of North Texas. Many of the mature bucks harvested in these areas are matching what is currently coming out of the Rocky Mountain states. Hunters do not have to draw for a hunting license, nor do they have to pick a certain set of days to hunt like most mountain states. Hunters usually can hunt in a comfortable climate, free of snow, and deep mud as often found in the Rocky Mountains. In addition, hunters may hunt out of a vehicle safari style and have the opportunity to harvest additional game during their hunt such as feral hog, bobcat, fox, javelina, and/or aoudad sheep.
