I get asked a lot is this ranch High Fenced? The answer is NO. It is over 45 sections of Rough but Prime Mule Deer Country that is Managed for Big Mule Deer. Some of the Best in Texas. We work year round to take care of our Mule Deer Herd.

We do supplemental feeding threw out the year to help our deer herd threw stressful times. Post Rut, suckling fawns, weaning and there are time it does not rain and it seldom rains like we would like it to. We feel supplementing our deer does take stress off of our natural habitat and improves the life style of our deer herd.

Our Supplemental Water Guzzler's threw out the ranch are one of our most important tools.

We strive to be good stewards of the land.

2011 Results: The Drought has effected this years harvest and our hunters have been very selective and passed on a lot of bucks. We had a 38% hunters success rate due to very selective hunters. We have had several good snows this winter and look forward to 2012 season. There was a good carry over of bucks with some luck from Mother Nature this spring and summer 2012 should be great.

We really appreciate ALL of our hunter's patience's when hunting Mature Mule Deer.

We spend a lot of time in a Jeep. Most of our hunting is done Safari Style. We spend a lot of time glassing and we do some walking in some hard to get to areas.

We are not just deer hunting, we urge every hunter to look for only Mature Bucks, 6 to 7 years old. Come and enjoy the hunt knowing you may go home empty handed but with a great experience and the opportunity to take a GREAT DESERT MULEY. If you have never hunted West Texas, its a treat. This is a Trophy Hunt! We are looking for Mature Deer!

Complimentary tips to guides and cooks are not required but kindly appreciated.

This Ranch has produced some of the best Mule Deer in Texas.

Pictured Below are some of our 2010 Hunts.

2010 Photo above on the first day of the Season Nov. 26. Tammye took this 170 inch BC Beauty. He did not fork on his left side but who cares. Look at that long tine and big frame. This Buck was 7 years old and field dressed 180 pounds.

November 26, 2010 Mike Hernandez took a 182 BC Buck pictured below. This buck was 6 years old and field dressed 181 pounds. Tim Cox guided this hunt.

Joey Hommock above took this buck on the first day of his hunt. 2010 photo.

P J Wearden above took this great buck on the first day of his hunt 2010.

2011 above:

2011 above: Tammye took this big 8 point that measured 31 inches tip to tip. This deer is a perfect example of who cares about score. This buck scored BC just under 150 but has the look most of us could not turn down.

2011 above: Leo Colman took this huge Javilina for a full body mount to add to his Trophy room.

Pictured above: Calf Roper Tyler West with his first Desert Muley and his first Javelina.

Pictured above: Randy Shipp with his 2010 Desert Muley. 195 6/8 net BC Officially scored for Texas Big Game Awards and grossed 202 BC with a big drop broke off his left beam. This deer would have netted over 200 BC.

These bucks don't come easy but our guides work hard and we do hunt all day to try and get you the deer you are looking for.

There were lots of bucks this past season that were passed by Hunters. We are looking for 2011 to be a great year with some help from Mother Nature.

It takes 6 to 7 years to Grow a Trophy Mule Deer on the Average. These bucks don't come easy but we give 110% effort.

We urge our hunters to lesson to your guides. There were some Big Framed bucks passed on this year just because the hunter thought he knew more about the size of the deer than his guide did. These deer have large bodies and sometimes fool you when you see them on the ground. They do not shrink! They get Bigger! My Guides are experienced and they know deer.

This Ranch is Managed for Mature Trophy Mule Deer. If you want to hunt on a Ranch where Big Bucks die of old age, come hunt with us. The Big Bucks are here, the country is Big and Rough, you just have to Hunt them and a little luck always helps.

These are Quality hunts for the serious Trophy Hunter and our hunts are limited.
