You're absolutely right, there are few deer and even fewer big bucks in East Texas. Please keep spreading that to everyone who might think otherwise.


Don't have to spread it, that's pretty much a fact. The Edwards Plateau area has the highest densities and consistently produces bigger bucks with the exception of South Texas. Whitetail Deer Mule Deer (Not on the big ranch but in the northern part of the county) a 186 typical was hit less than 2 miles from my house, Turkeys, Javalina's, Aoudad, Antelope, Coyotes, Bob Cat's, Dove (3 species), Ducks (Pretty much all species), Sandhill Crane, Canadian Geese, Snow Geese, Quail (2 species), Wilson Snipe, Squirrels, Rabbit's (2 species) and a many more other critters. All but Antelope can be seen on the big ranch depending on the time of year, but we do have them in the northern part of the county. I'll take West Texas over East Texas any day. Now if it comes to fishing I'd pretty much pick East Texas but just about anything you can catch there we have in our ponds on the ranch.



Yeah, those pesky facts just keep getting in his way...

My grandfather homesteaded a sheep ranch in Wenden, AZ in the early 1920's. That area makes west Texas seem lush. The ranch wasn't exactly a raging success, but my mom always said that my grandmother said it was the happiest time of her life. My grandfather would drive out there from San Antonio and my mom and grandmother would take the train.

I've hunted all over the state and killed more animals than parvo. East Texas will always be my favorite because it's my home turf and I never have trouble killing bucks here. But the Hill Country and West Texas have some killer views. I always thought it was gorgeous country.

Now let's be honest, what is more pleasant on the eyes, miles of nothing but flat land with mesquite or rolling hills of pines and hardwoods?

And after dealing with meth heads stealing my trail cams, etc, in East Texas, I'm more than willing to make the drive for these views and bonus animals.

Prairie dog shoot?


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.
