<span style="font-size: 17pt"><span style="font-weight: bold">The 2012 Mule Deer season was a success on most ranches and it was great to meet you all and good to see old friends.
There was a full moon most of the season and warm weather which kept most of our big bucks nocturnal so our bigger bucks lived to see another year.
Regardless some nice bucks were still harvested.
I am going to change up the number of hunts being done next year on a few ranches (lowering on some raising on others) and I will start booking tomorrow morning (December 19th). Hunts will be reserved on a first come first serve basis with either a 50% deposit or a minimum of a $500 deposit and a payment plan.
I am flexible on this though.
Current available hunts will be listed below, I will try to keep the website updated for availability.
***Also I do have 2 Free Range Gemsbok Oryx hunts available on a large private ranch in New Mexico just outside El Paso. Hunt cost is $1750 plus your New Mexico License/Tag***
Hunts will be conducted between now and early March, limited dates available.
This is a Guided hunt with snacks and non alcoholic drinks provided (2 day hunt), lodging and full meals available for a small fee.
Most high fence hunts in Texas start at $4500 to $5500 for Gemsbok so this is a great deal!
Don't forget I have some great Axis, Black Buck, Turkey, and Corsican hunts available.
Happy Holidays!
