Whitetail Deer Hunting
Native whitetail on the family place. Bow and rifle seasons, blinds set for a mature buck, and low pressure across 3,000 managed acres at the edge of the Texas Hill Country.
Native to the Ground
The whitetail we raise.
Whitetail are native to the property, and we manage the herd the way you manage anything you mean to keep. Rotational grazing and selective clearing build the browse. Numbers are held in balance so the bucks carry age and the does stay healthy.
That management shows up in the field. You hunt mature deer on ground that sees light pressure, from blinds set where the sign is, across 3,000 family-managed acres plus another 6,500 under exclusive lease nearby. Bow or rifle, your call.
This is the same land our family has run since 1905. Six generations have watched these draws, and the deer here are a product of that patience.
