That buck on the left is a HOSS!! Also, the buck on the right has one of the prettiest faces I've ever seen.

I'm just going to have pedestal mount on a base, with rock on the back, and set them on some end tables. Walls are filling up.

Beautiful deer!

Rain Creek Ranch has one of the worst websites I've ever been on. I'd like to inquire with them about pricing, but it doesn't have their number on it!

Do you have their #?

The guy running the ranch is Kyle, his number is 817 875 5550. He can give you better deals. They are getting a better website soon. I've went there last year, booked the hunt through Heathe. Didn't get to shoot one because it rained the whole time we were there. Tried booking another hunt with Heathe and when I was trying to schedule the trip I couldn't get him to return my PM messages and even removed himself from the converstion or return phone calls so we contacted the ranch directly. This was all during deer season so I'm sure he was busy!!! In the past 2 months we have taken a total of 4 Axis bucks, a blackbuck and a audad at the Raincreek Ranch. I guess you could say we are hunters you don't ignore!!!

Heres the other 2 Axis bucks

Heres the pic with the Blackbuck and the aoudad. They have free range blackbuck but my buddy called ahead to get one in a high fence along with the goat, so they were not free range. They have a huge high fence trap to turn them loose in and be able to hunt them.

Tanner I did not remove myself from our PM I did reply back to it and let you know that Mrs Anderson was in Canada and would have to get back to you when she returned for your dates in December and yes I may have forgot to get back to you duo to a very busy whitetail season and that is my fault sorry about that. If you remember correctly I am the one that got them to honor the price from earlier that year that I quoted you for an Axis over 36inches @ 2500.00 after they raised there prices to over 3000.00 for the caliber of buck you guys where looking for which was over 36inches. And I did call and talk to Chance in January after he had already contacted Kyle, and he told me that Kyle was going get with him when the Axis where rubbing out and they would come up with a date. I told him to stay in touch and let me know and I would be there. Ya'll had already gone around me and directly to the ranch which is fine I don't mind and if he cut you a better deal that's between you guys but your standards have dropped aswell when you hunted with me you were wanting that one that was over 36inches. But both are good Axis. Congrats again.

Thanks, theres no hard feelings about it. I know your a busy guy and have to take care of alot of hunters. Yes we did have to lower our standards due to 300 dollars a day if nothing is killed per person, so we had to have something to show for it. I did look at my messages the last conversation was back in October and no you did not remove yourself but you did on 8/24. I know were not VIP customers that shoot 20,000 dollar deer but on average thats what we spend a year on hunting. For us to keep coming back to an outfitter is, communication, updates, primetime info, in return you sell hunts and we make sure your wallet is full. Then its a win win situation!!!! Thanks again!!

All animals on the thread are great, but the axis on the right in the pic with the 2 axis being held by the dude in the cowboy hat is making me drool. One of the best axis I have ever seen.

NavTex and I had a great hunt out there. I went at the end of March and shot those two in velvet, they both measured just over 35' each, with the one on the left being a 9 point, so needless to say I was very satisfied. We returned this past weekend and had another extremely great & sucessful hunt with Kyle @ raincreek ranch, as you can see coming away with two axis, blackbuck, and aoudad. Very laid back and relaxing. Kyle is definitely the guy to goto, very professional and I would recommend him to anyone out there.

Heathe I do want to thank you for introducing us to raincreek ranch. Communication is a BIG factor that we value, with our outfitters that we use, but I do not regret the ways things turn out. I wish you all the success in your outfitting.

Regards,

Chance W.
