Long story short, a hunt I thought was going to materialize, didn't. Dad 43, son 10. This would be our third year hunting on a lease/guided/outfitted hunt, but I've been hunting for 30 yrs. Ideally, 2 night/2.5-3 day type of hunt. Needs to be in TX hill country area. We would like to be alone in blind, but work with a guide that can put us in the right spot, handle all field dressing, etc. Somewhat flexible on this point, but part of this being a special time is being alone with my son in the blind. We are very good at following shooting instruction and we don't shoot what we aren't supposed to. Something with meals/lodging great, but not required. We would each like to get at least 1 deer, ideally buck. Doesn't have to be a trophy at this late stage, could be cull buck, but if high points buck is available, great. If possible, some doe/bird/hog hunting also would be good, if we are successful with deer early and time permits. We know how to respect people, nature and property. Safety will be our biggest concern - we don't want to be on top of a bunch of other hunters, so would prefer a larger ranch. Willing to pay top dollar for the right experience and pretty flexible on dates in Dec or early Jan. 972 742 7811 mobile or email jtrichel@deloitte.com

have had some great conversations and thank you to anyone that responded... we have some potential options that I am still waiting to hear back on, but nothing concrete... so bumping this. Also wanted to add a bit of extra detail based on my conversations.
- we will pay for a guided hunt, and we will tip our guide additionally, we know this isn't a lease hunt - we are willing to do a cull hunt or a trophy hunt, but we are much more interested in the experience than scoring a big trophy animal - no exotics - we would also like to do some hog/varmint hunting if possible - we would like to be alone in the blind if possible - we know how to only shoot what we are supposed to, but we will of course pay for anything we draw blood on, per pre-agreement on costs, etc. - we would like to stay 2 hrs or less from Austin

If you are truly not interested in a Real big WT. If you want to sit in the blind with only your son. If HF does not matter. If you have very small chance of seeing hogs or varmints. If you are willing to pay $100 per point for Bucks up to 8 points and $150 for those over 8 points then PM me. Oh and Bandera is about 2 and a half hours from Austin.

Thanks to all the replies and messaging. We have found a hunt that works great for us this season and maybe as annual long-term lease. Thanks again.
