Probably as far as numbers go. My son saw a buck that he said was a giant,over 200" but it was before mule deer season opened. Saw him just south of that big pump on the road. I saw to giant mulies the first year I was there on the east side of the ranch just south of the 1/2 section that belong to the Westfalls. One was a monster non-typical that wound up getting killed on the Westfall place. It's picture was on the Texas Big Game Awards web site that year. I didn't see as many big bucks after David bought the place to the west and let all of his friend start hunting.

The tower on the draw down by the oil tanks on the east side of the main road was mine. Saw the biggest whitetail buck of my life out of that stand and passed a lot of bucks over 150 because I knew there were bigger on the place.

Hmm I don't know if that tower is still there, I have a shooting house on the canyon side of the top road about a half mile from the cattle gap in the wheat field, and another below the wheat field by a stock pond that you can see when driving the top/main road.

We got a new place just south of Northfield this year. 5000 acres for 5 guns. It reminds me a lot of the Shamrock place with the deep draws and canyons. I hope it turns out as good.

We hunt just north of Northfield What is your ratio of whitetails to mule deer? I've been surprised that according to our cams we've got probably 80% whitetails.

I would say about 60/40 heavy on the WT. The muleys don't show up at feeders very often, so our cams don't show the numbers to accurate.
