Whether you're a seasoned hunter looking to fill the freezer or a newcomer wanting to cut your teeth on some accessible game, this trip hits the sweet spot. You'll be working with Tye Grissom, a guide who knows these woods like the back of his hand, to help manage the local deer population while having a great time in the field.

Inside the Hunt

This ain't your typical trophy buck chase – we're talking doe management, folks. It's a critical part of keeping the herd healthy, and let me tell you, it's a blast. You'll be set up on some prime private land where the deer are plentiful and the hunting pressure is low. Tye's got all the local intel, so you'll be in good hands when it comes to finding the best spots. The beauty of this hunt is its flexibility – you can go hard for three days straight or take it easy and mix in some relaxation. And with the option for cabin lodging right on site, you won't waste any time getting from bed to blind.

Tracking Tips & Terrain

Stonewall Ranch offers a mix of terrain that's perfect for doe hunting. You'll be working with a combo of spot-and-stalk and blind hunting, depending on what's hot that day. The property's got some nice wooded areas that transition into open fields – classic whitetail country. Tye will get you dialed in on reading sign, wind direction, and the best times to be on stand. Don't worry if you're new to this – he's patient and knows how to break it down. For the more experienced hunters, you'll appreciate the intel on deer movement patterns specific to this piece of land. And when you drop a doe, Tye's there to help with the field dressing, so you can focus on the hunt, not the cleanup.

Target Game Breakdown

White-tailed deer are the name of the game here, specifically the does. These girls are crafty and can be just as challenging to hunt as any buck. Texas whitetails typically weigh between 70 to 120 pounds, with does on the lighter end of that scale. They're known for their keen senses – especially their nose and ears. One wrong move, and they'll be flagging their white tails as they bound away.

Hunting does is crucial for population control. It helps maintain a balanced buck-to-doe ratio and ensures the overall health of the herd. Plus, if we're being honest, doe meat is often more tender and better for the table than an old, tough buck. You'll be looking for mature does – Tye can help you age them on the hoof to make sure you're taking the right animals.

The best time to target these deer is during the early season when they're still in their summer patterns, or late season when food sources are more concentrated. But don't worry – Tye's got the inside scoop on what the does are up to year-round on this property. And let's not forget, every doe you take is one less set of eyes in the woods making your buck hunting tougher later on.
