We had two spots open up on our ranch in San Saba. This property has been intensely managed for the last 11 yrs, and has been archery only for the past 6 yrs. Each hunter gets one mgmt buck(4+ yo 8 pt or less, occasionally 9+ pts are shot on age and undesireable horns). 1 trophy being 5+ yo over 130. We are looking for hunters that are experienced archers with experience at aging/managing deer. We are consistently shooting deer in the 125-140 range and have shot several 150+ deer off the ranch. The ranch is also loaded with hogs. No turkey hunting. You can bring anyone you want as a guest, but you are required to hunt with them. Guests can shoot mgmt deer and does from your tag allotment or extra does as needed by the mgmt plan. We are a very family oriented group with 2 members having younger(5-8) yo kids. The neighboring ranches are: highfenced on east side, 8000 acre intensely managed on north side, 1200 acres 4 yo+ only on west, 1800 acres on south with same plan as ours; resulting in over 13,000 acres being managed and 12,000 acres being protein fed.
