fallow hunting

[diamond10x]

ive been wanting to get a pretty descent fallow buck to put on the wall to go with my axis and blackbuck. i dont want to spend much but be able to get a chance at a good fallow atleast a strong bronze or weak silver. anybody know of any places where i could book a hunt? private or commercial ranch no preference

I just got back from Three Fingers Bowhunting. They have tons of fallows. I could have killed probably 5 or 6 different bucks that would be bronze or higher. They are definantly nice representatives and lots of them, probably no gold medal fallow, but if your looking for a nice bronze or silver they are there. Best thing is the price is $750 for any animal on the ranch regardless of size, and you get a free hog with that. If you decide to book tell them Travis Elmore sent you. I have a recent post for my hunt there and there are a couple of fallow in the pics and video.

ya i watched each of your videos, man that was a heck of a ram and oryx!! congats!! id also love to get a ram too, were there any others close to like what you got? im curios to how those day leases work, do they put you in a blind or do you choose where to hunt?

[TravisElmore]

There was at least one more Texas dall close to that size. He was much wider but not as heavy. Defiantly a ram I would want to shoot. There were a couple great Corsicans. They were probably around 29-30 inches but they had some great manes and were very pretty. At that ranch they work with you to do whatever you want within reason. They suggested to me a blind for opening morning and gave me the option to move wherever I wanted for the other sits.

Just like Travis said, you tell them what animal you are after and they'll put you in the stand they feel is the best for that animal. Usually based on where other hunters have had encounters. I hunted with 3Fingers in late July and took the Blackbuck in my avatar. I also had multiple opportunities at some Fallow, but it was my first evening and I was really wanting a Blackbuck or Sika so I passed. Ryan and Ben are very helpful and will provide their advice to you, but also listen to your ideas and will work with you. They want you to be successful. I am already planning my return trip there soon. Check out their Facebook page and look at all the animals that have been taken over the last 5 months. feel free to PM me or Travis with any further questions. I know he'd be happy to share more info with you as would I.

Last I checked with Ben, no Axis. The place is currently 85 acres, but has a lot more to open up once he gets it all fenced in and built up.

No axis. This ranch is actually not high fenced. There is one or two sides of the property that is fenced but the rest has only a standard cattle fence. The axis would not stay on the property.
