|

You will see lots of game each day with some trophy class animals. The animals on this ranch are born and raised there and four are spooky. Due to the outfitters management techniques and hunting tactics used. Most all of hunting is done from raised and enclosed stands. Care of your trophy and meat is handled professionally and quickly. This is a "fair chase" hunt on a fabulously well managed trophy fenced ranch totaling 10,000 acres in the hill country of south Texas. I'm booking two hunts for 2004. Several sheep species are also on this ranch. I have hunted across the states and British Columbia for the better part of 25 years. I rank this outfitter along with their lodging, cooking and overall hospitality, among the best I have booked with.
