That is awesome. Special place for sure.

That’s one proud kid you got there and sounds like your one proud dad. I was there on the hunt 12/8 thru 12/11. We had a great time even though we where not successful. Nice place to hunt and the staff were really friendly.

Nice place to hunt and the staff were really friendly. Did you see any animals and or exotics? I would like to put in for this place again. Did you notice any rutting activity while you were there?

No rutting. We saw the biggest bodied buck I hand ever seen. It looked like one of those Michigan or Ohio bucks. It was probably a 10 pt. But all the tines on the left main beam were knocked off. I did not have a shot, but my buddy did and he chose not to take it since it was the first deer we saw. We did jump up two black buck antelopes, but they took off like lightning and could not get a shot......man are they fast. We saw one wt doe that we jumped. Others on the hunt when we were there shot a fallow, a couple of audad and a 6 and 10 pt.
Did y’all see any exotics?
We had a great time. We stayed in Del Rio, which made for a long drive every day. I would love to hunt it again, in a heart beat. We hunted in compartment 5 which is the first one up front. The road going in was in real muddy due to the snow the night before we arrived. It was a great opportunity, where else could you hunt a place like that for the price?
