May 02, 2009 - Off Season Age/Score game! 
Welcome!!

I haven't posted since the end of the season. In the past there has been a long wait for posts between the end of February and late August because honestly it is hard to blog about happenings when the deer have one or two inch bulbs for antlers. This year I have decided to do something a little different to keep everyone occupied that occasionally views this page during the summer.

With the ability to now post comments on the blog (see the red "Post a Comment" below this post) I would like to get a little interaction going. There isn't a need to register and you don't have to create an account.

That being said, click on the video and tell me what the deer scores and how old he is!!

He's still out there...

Happy Scoring!

January 29, 2009 - So busy this year I didn't have much time to update... 
2008-2009

Well I updated the pictures pretty regularly in the Photos section at least...

Soo... here are a ton of pictures on the FRONT page.

We had MANY of our clients this year do very, very well. It worked out to be a great year even though the conditions weren't exactly the best for antler growth. There were 3 deer taken over 170, 7 deer between 160 and 170 and multiple deer in the 150's and management classes. That is amazing considering the amount of monsters still running around who were too young to take this year.

It's really looking like we are set up to have an amazing amount of great deer in 2009-2010 if only we could get a little rain!

Thanks to all of our hunters who made this season as fun for us as we hope it was for you!! Hope to see you next year!

Happy Hunting!

October 26, 2008 - The 2008-2009 Season is HERE! 

click images to enlarge

It's finally here! I have been scouting since July trying to make this one of our best hunting seasons yet. Last year is going to be hard to top but the quality of bucks looks to be very high overall. I have added scouting pictures from trailcams to the gallery and several photos that I have taken in the field. Please go check them out.

From Left to Right:

This is a young 12 pointer (11 with a forked G-3 that probably scores in the mid to high 60's. He made a pretty good jump this year. I like how the sun is glinting off of his horns here.

This next buck is a 6 year old who we are probably going to give one more year. He looks to be in the low 70's. He didn't put on much extra frame from last year, but did add a little bit of mass. Straight up typical 12's with no extras are VERY rare on this ranch and it is always a pleasure to see one.

Rick took this ~160" 10 point this weekend with brows nearly 8 inches long. These are some of the biggest G-1's we have ever seen on the ranch.

Bill Cross yet again hit another home run with this ~172" 10 pointer with a common base G-2 and G-3. Bob who is pictured as well guided both Rick and Bill to their deer. I'm still hearing about how much better he is at guiding than I am...

Congratulations Rick and Bill...


...and Bob

Happy Hunting!

February 12, 2008 - In the News 



Check out a good looking deer and an ugly mug on the cover of Texas Trophy Hunters and the same good looking deer as a 5 year old on the cover of the Texas Sporting Journal in the Jan/Feb Issues.

January 30, 2008 - January Update! 

click images to enlarge

We had a great end of the year hunting, with some monster bucks coming in just under the wire, and some great older deer that have eluded us for years finally having their luck run out!

From Left to Right:

Ben Ralston with "The Tongue Deer"... This deer had eluded us for years. Ben finally connected this year. Called "Tongue" because he had damaged a nerve that made his tongue always hang out of his mouth, he gross scored ~187

The women in the second picture here were the two best shots that hunted on the ranch all year, male or female. Sara killed her buck with a shot in a 30mph headwind at over 450 yards and Catherine connected with a Coyote at closer to 500.

Romeo took this beautiful basic 10 point with 3 kickers that grossed ~172. The deer had been seen in years prior and had been somewhat regular, but this year after heavy hunting for several months by five different people Romeo ended up with the prize that had eluded so many.

The Crawfords had another great hunt at the ranch this year. The best deer was taken by Scott. He was a white-faced old 13 pointer that we caught with a doe while cruising around in the top drive.

Congratulations to all these lucky hunters and to everyone else who hunted with us this year!

Happy Hunting!

December 04, 2007 - Some November Big Ones 

click images to enlarge

From Left to Right:

Bill Cross with his 176 basic 12 point currently second place in the Los Cazadores Heavy Weight division for High Fence.

Bubba with his biggest deer ever, a basic 11 point with a kicker on one G-3. The deer scored ~163 and has beautiful red antlers with Ivory tips.

Rick Friedrich with a monster deer that scores 187. This deer had 40" of mass and nearly 12" G-3's. He is currently in Los Cazadores 185+ high fence category and is leading Muy Grande for Heaviest Buck.

Jesse with a HUGE 8 pointer with a broken drop. WITHOUT the drop added back the deer scored 167 2/8. The 4" drop this deer had broken would have pushed him up over 170. He has 7+" G-1's, 11+" G-2's, 5+" H-1's and H-2's and over 27" beams to help add up to an amazing score for an 8 pointer.


Thanks to everyone who came hunting with us in November! Go see even MORE big deer taken this last month in the Photos section.

Happy Hunting!
