For the next 3 years only 2 mature bucks were allowed to be killed. For years 10-20 the ranch produced tons of quality animal that were amazing and nearly..... impossible to harvest. Most of the biggest deer died of old age or killed post prime, even w the use of the MLD extended season. The HF had very little to do with keeping animals in and almost every thing w keeping stuff out. Every year some monster would be seen form the sky once and never seen again. Of course we had target deer and some would get harvested but the antler drop box had a few 200” deer that went on with their life until they died. Our density was “kept” to a deer to every 25 acres. Thats not a lot of deer on 4K acres so hunting there was a challenge most folks can’t imagine. It takes metric shizz ton of work dedication and patients to commit to that level of animal husbandry just say’n


That sounds like one heck a of place up


It was, Family feud caused it to be sold...... violin bang

You left out one category though!......Have you ever hunted a ranch that butted up against a high fence ranch?

I have several times and I've had very good results as the deer tend to travel the trails along side the fence, which makes it easy to pattern their travel.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

interesting results, but there are entirely too many people in rural tx that will buy a license and hunt to shoot their 4 or 5 deer every year that don't know that the hunting forum exists.

Yep, I've seen for myself it's had that effect with Erath Kid's place.
