The Buck is a total of almost 20000 acres there smallest pasture is just under 3000 acres but if they buy some of the more expensive animals they will put them in what they call Jurassic Park which is a small pasture about 30 to 40 acres. Im not knocking them they are just protecting there investment and they are up front with there hunters by letting them know that it is a smaller pasture. Atleast I was when I was the asst Mgr there.

Still something more reasonable, like 400-500 acres with nice bits of brush at least

I think people talking bad about the YO need to really think about what they are saying before they say it. These people are class act, with a great place...and have done more for the exotic hunting business than any other ranch in Texas. Not to mention they are working hard on getting the three animals that had hunting restrictions placed on them this year - trying to get that overturned. If you like exotic hunting, thank the YO.

Wow I hunted there about 8.5 years ago with my dad and my brother when I came home on leave from the Marine Corps. The 3 of us were looking for trophy Axis. I shot mine from the truck just because the shot presented it's self and the animal was starting for the brush. My dad and brother got to stalk theirs. We all ended up with bucks 30" and over which is what we wanted. We had nice rooms and good food while we were there. Our guide was a very nice guy if I remember right his name was Jim. We had a good time and a good hunt. Back then the animal prices were a lot less though. I have since hunted on Walter's WRS ranch with his guide Ricky and had a good experience there too. My only complaint about anything associated with the YO ranch is the processor Woodburys messed up our order terribly and gave us easily 3x the amount of sausage we had ordered and little of anything else. Mistakes happen though. I like the history of the YO. If you have the money to hunt there I think it's worth it.

The Ruth's Chris anology is not accurate. Ruth's Chris serves better quality steaks than you can normally buy at the grocery store or at a cheaper steakhouse.
YO prices only make sense if every animal sold at those prices scores HIGH gold. Paying $3,500 for a 30" axis is ridiculous.
YO may very well put a bunch of animals in the record books, but they also charge many other people the same premium prices for rather average animals too.
I just watched a TV show shot at YO where they hunted axis, and these animals were no better than you'd find all over the state.

I've taken my 10 year Grandson for the last 2 years in a row and hunted Walter's WRS. We were there about 3 weeks ago. The prices were not out of line at all, and Ricky is as good as it gets. No surprises, no B.S. Lots of game there and Good People. That little boy now has a 37" white ram to go with his Red Stag from last year. Happy Kiddo!

They might not have grants gazelle, but if you want a shot at a record book animal with fair price, try the Flying A Ranch in Bandera. Heres some proof Went #3 in SCI This one tied for 5th in SCI
