This trophy Whitetail Deer hunt takes place on a heavily managed 2,200-acre West Texas ranch near Comstock and is built around pursuing a mature, high-scoring buck. The base package includes one Platinum-class Whitetail scoring 160–169 Gross B&C, with opportunities to upgrade into larger trophy categories when exceptional bucks are available.

The ranch has focused on producing quality Whitetails for more than two decades. A year-round nutrition program combines premium protein feeds and mineral supplementation with extensive habitat and water management designed to maintain body condition and promote antler development. The property includes numerous water sources throughout the ranch, helping support the deer herd even through the hot and dry conditions common to Southwest Texas.

 

About the Whitetail Deer

Whitetail Deer are the most recognizable native big-game species in North America and remain one of the most sought-after trophies in Texas. Mature South Texas bucks are particularly well known for their heavy bodies, impressive antler development, and ability to produce large typical and non-typical racks when genetics, age, nutrition, and habitat all come together.

Whitetails take their name from the bright white underside of the tail, which is raised prominently when an animal becomes alarmed. Their reddish-brown summer coat gradually transitions into a heavier gray-brown winter coat as temperatures cool. Mature bucks develop a significantly heavier neck and body during the breeding season, giving older animals a noticeably more powerful appearance than younger deer.

Antlers begin growing during the spring and summer beneath a nutrient-rich covering known as velvet. As antler growth finishes and testosterone levels increase, the velvet dries and is rubbed away, leaving hardened bone beneath. Antler development can vary dramatically between individual bucks according to age, genetics, nutrition, and overall health.

This ranch places considerable emphasis on nutrition and herd management. Deer have access to year-round supplemental protein and mineral programs designed to maintain healthy body condition and maximize antler development. The ranch also maintains numerous water troughs and dirt tanks to ensure dependable access to water during the harshest periods of the South Texas summer.

Mature bucks are evaluated using the Boone & Crockett scoring system, which considers factors including main-beam length, tine length, mass, and inside spread. This package begins with a 160–169 Gross B&C Platinum-class buck, already representing a substantial trophy Whitetail. Hunters looking for something even larger can upgrade into several additional trophy classes reaching 200 inches and beyond.

Whitetail behavior changes considerably as the season progresses. Bucks that may be relatively predictable during early fall begin covering more ground as breeding activity increases. During the rut, mature bucks become much more focused on pursuing does, which can create opportunities to see animals moving outside their normal patterns.

The outfitter recommends hunting earlier in the October-through-February season when possible. Regardless of timing, guide knowledge, trail patterns, feeders, water sources, weather, and current deer movement all play an important role in determining where each hunt takes place.

 

The Whitetail Hunting Area in West Texas

The hunt takes place on an exclusive 2,200-acre high-fenced ranch near Comstock in Southwest Texas. The outfitter has hunted and managed this property for approximately 22 years, developing a program focused heavily on Whitetail herd health, trophy quality, habitat improvement, supplemental nutrition, and consistent water availability.

The terrain is a diverse mixture of rolling West Texas country, open grasslands, native brush, wooded draws, rocky areas, and natural cover. Feeders, water sources, and established travel corridors are located throughout the property, creating productive areas where deer can be observed while still giving them ample brush and terrain in which to move naturally.

The ranch's habitat program is particularly important during the hot and dry South Texas summer. Supplemental protein and minerals are provided throughout the year, while approximately 25 water troughs and seven dirt tanks help provide dependable water throughout the property. These management practices are designed to keep the herd healthy while allowing mature bucks to reach their full genetic and antler potential.

 

Trophy Whitetail Hunting Methods

A typical hunting day begins with a continental breakfast at the lodge before heading into the field with your guide. The guide prepares the hunting vehicle and necessary equipment before transporting you to a strategically selected blind based on current deer movement, weather, wind, and the trophy class being pursued.

Most Whitetail hunting on the ranch is conducted from comfortable blinds positioned around feeders, water sources, travel corridors, and areas of regular deer activity. The hunter and guide settle into the blind together before the deer begin moving, allowing plenty of time to observe animals as they enter the area.

Trophy evaluation is particularly important on this hunt. As bucks appear, your guide will carefully consider antler size, age, body condition, and overall trophy quality before determining whether a particular animal fits the class you have booked. A buck that falls into a larger trophy category can potentially be taken as an upgrade. Morning hunting continues according to deer activity and conditions before hunters return to the lodge for a break. Lunch is generally served during the middle of the day, after which the hunter and guide return to the field for the afternoon hunt.

The outfitter recommends hunters arrive prepared to make accurate shots out to approximately 250 yards if necessary. Deer may not always present themselves directly at a feeder, so hunters should be comfortable shooting confidently under a variety of field conditions.

 

About the Outfitter

The outfitter has spent more than two decades developing its Whitetail and exotic game program in Southwest Texas. Particular emphasis is placed on habitat management, nutrition, genetics, water availability, mature animals, and providing hunters with a personalized experience from arrival through departure.

The ranch operates under a Level 3 Managed Lands Deer Permit, the highest level of the Texas MLDP program. This management structure provides greater flexibility in season dates and herd-management decisions while helping the ranch maintain a balanced deer population and target specific animals according to its long-term management goals.

Hunters are still required to possess a valid Texas hunting license, but deer harvested under the ranch's MLDP do not use the hunter's standard license tags. This allows the ranch to manage harvest according to its approved program rather than ordinary county bag limits.

 

The 3-Star West Texas Hunting Lodge

Hunters stay in a comfortable 3-star main lodge featuring permanent electricity, cell phone service, and internet access. The lodge offers a combination of bunk-style accommodations and larger master bedrooms, making it suitable for individual hunters, groups, and observers.

One side of the lodge contains two comfortable bunk rooms, each furnished with four bunk beds. These rooms share a newly refurbished bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink. The opposite side contains two master bedrooms with king-size beds that share a separate refurbished bathroom.

Meals are included throughout the hunt. Hunters can begin the morning with a continental breakfast before heading into the field and return to the lodge for meals and relaxation between hunting periods.

During downtime, guests can enjoy several ranch activities including horseshoes, cornhole, axe and knife throwing, swimming, basketball, pool, and other recreational options.

 

Additional Hunting Opportunities

The ranch offers numerous additional native and exotic hunting opportunities, including Axis Deer, Blackbuck, Aoudad, Scimitar Oryx, Black Hawaiian Sheep, Texas Dall Sheep, and other available game.

Whitetail options also extend beyond the trophy classes included in this package and may include management bucks, doe hunts, and additional trophy animals depending on availability and current ranch management objectives.

Additional animals may be hunted according to the current trophy fee price list and availability.

 

Getting to West Texas

Most hunters will travel to the ranch by personal vehicle or rental car. The nearest major airport is San Antonio International Airport.

Airport pickup and drop-off can be arranged for $300. Upon arrival, hunters are welcomed at the ranch, settled into the lodge, and briefed on the hunting schedule and current conditions.

Once hunters arrive at the ranch, transportation throughout the property and between hunting locations is handled by the guide.

Trophy Handling and Care

Following a successful harvest, the guide will cape and quarter the Whitetail and place the meat on ice. The ranch will help maintain ice during the remainder of the hunter's stay.

If the hunter wishes to retain the cape and head for taxidermy, they will be placed in a freezer until departure. The guide will assist with loading the trophy and meat into the hunter's vehicle when they are ready to leave.

Taxidermy

Taxidermy is not included in the hunt. The outfitter can recommend a local taxidermist but is not affiliated with the taxidermy operation.

Hunters should make separate arrangements for taxidermy, trophy transportation, and shipping.

The Hunting Season

This Whitetail Deer hunt is available from October through February.

Because the ranch participates in the Managed Lands Deer Permit program, its management framework provides flexibility beyond the conventional Texas Whitetail season.

The Best Time to Hunt

The outfitter recommends hunting October through February, with a preference for booking earlier in the season when possible.

Conditions and deer behavior change throughout the season, and the ideal timing will depend on the hunter's goals, current buck movement, weather, and breeding activity.

Recommended Firearms and Rental Rifles

The outfitter recommends a .243 Winchester or larger for Whitetail hunting.

Hunters should arrive comfortable with their rifle and prepared to make accurate shots at ranges potentially reaching 250 yards.

Rental rifles are available in 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Winchester for $100 total. Ammunition is available for $4 per round.

Texas Hunting License

A valid Texas hunting license is required and is not included in the package price.

The ranch operates under a Level 3 Managed Lands Deer Permit. Although hunters must possess a valid Texas license, standard license tags are not used on Whitetail harvested under the ranch's MLDP.

No-Opportunity Re-Hunt Policy

If no animal is harvested because the hunter receives no reasonable opportunity, such as unsuitable weather conditions, the appropriate trophy class not being encountered, or no animals being seen, the hunter may be offered an opportunity to return for a re-hunt.

Qualifying re-hunts may begin at $595 per hunter to cover lodging and meals.

Deposit Policy

A 50% deposit is required to reserve the hunt. The remaining balance is due directly to the outfitter 30 days before the hunt begins.

Accepted payment methods include cash, check, Zelle, and cashier's check.

Cancellation Policy

Deposits and final payments are non-refundable unless the cancelling hunter provides a replacement hunter.

If the outfitter is required to locate a replacement hunter, a $1,000 rebooking fee, along with any discount necessary to book the replacement hunter, will be deducted from the original client's deposit. Any remaining balance may then be transferred to another hunt date.

EXCLUSIONS: Texas hunting license, San Antonio airport transportation, larger Whitetail trophy upgrades, rifle rental, ammunition, final-night lodging, taxidermy, trophy transportation and shipping, gratuities, alcoholic beverages, and personal expenses.
