Very nice. Did you see a lot to chose from there? how was the ranch? What other animals did you see?
The Wendy Lou Reserve is a 5000 acre game reserve patterned after South African game reserves. Rolling hills with good elevation change and running creeks, live oak motts, open pastures, cedars/mesquits. The owner who I was fortunate to meet while at the ranch lives most of the year in S. Africa. While it is HF, the ranch and hunting experience is phenomenal. They don't have feeders, supplemental feed, breeding etc. All herds are self-sustaining and whitetails are all native genetics. I saw many really good WT bucks 140-160 class. Hunting is done from box blinds over food plots or safari style with spot and stalk. We drove the ranch in a bad boy buggy and we stalked creek bottoms on foot. Saw a few nice axis, Impala, red deer, and many others. I prob saw a dozen fallow equal to this of all color phases.
Lodge is first class and accommodations are very nice -- separate rooms connected to lodge by a breeze way. Outdoor pavilion etc. Mike Odell runs the ranch. Heck of a nice guy. I was guided by his son-in-law and he was great. Mikes daughter cooks and when I arrived we sat down over some great venison BBQ sandwiches.
I cannot say enough good things about this place and my experience there. I'd go back in a heart beat.
