What's the best Ranch for shooting a Monster Whitetail

[Archermike2605]

Ok guys... I started a thread the other day about a premium south tx deer lease. I've started thinking I might just want to book a trophy whitetail hunt on a south tx ranch. I don't want to take my chances on hopefully getting one on a day lease type place.

Let's say I want to shoot a south tx whitetail scoring 160"-180" with my bow. What top 3 ranches would you guys pick to give the best opportunity to harvest (kill) one of these deer. (maybe someone here on TBH has a family ranch that would like the extra green backs )

Tell me if I'm missing something but these are what I have so far, if they have any openings.... I'll be talking to Jack Jan 9-10 at the DSC convention about RE maybe he'll cut me a deal... (right)

RANCHO ENCANTADO
NOONER RANCH
WILSON WHITETAIL RANCH

If you are willing to pay, you cannot pass up the King Ranch, it is just too good!

[bowhuntertex]

I would have to second the King Ranch as well.........

[Landrover]

Perlitz & Half Brothers also have mega deer! I am also considering something like that for next year.

King Ranch! Also look at the Celebrity Ranch. They have some GREAT TROPHY bucks there!! I used to guide for them and do Taxidermy work for them and they got some MONSTERS!! Perlitz. Half Brothers, Nail ranch, Busy B too name a few others

The King

I want to kill on the King Ranch. It is such a legendary ranch in Texas History that I would love to have a deer on the wall from the King Ranch.

Perlitz Ranch has been made famous by the Realtree guys.

I wouldn't count out Marko's (Encinal) ranch. Las Raices

Why stick to Texas?
You can hunt the upper midwest (Illinois, Wisconsin) and Canada for a lot less cheese and have a chance at a real bruiser for a heck of a lot less $$

I would say:
Jack Brittinghams (rancho encantado)
King (depends on the pasture)
El cazadore
Marty Berry
Jeff Avant, if he runs hunts.

I was on the same page Mac but I was guessing he was talking about here in Texas......specifically south texas.
Oh, do you have anything coming up for Bison next fall with a bow. I know you did one last year.

[Archermike2605]

Yes I want to stay in south Texas for this one, I know what's up north... But this will be a quest for a south tx buck.

Who would I need to get in contact with about hunting the King Ranch & what pasture do I need to try and get?

[maglite]

Krivoman hit it on the head!! Jack Brittingham!! Also the Tecomate ranch has some monsters!!!!!!

[bowhuntermac]

actually Oscar..we do. I will be personally hosting this one. Bison on an Indian reservation. Your choice of take, and keep the meat and hide. The guys I sent up this year had a ball, but smoked theirs. I want to get a group together to fletch them.
