Get ready for an authentic Texas whitetail hunting experience with ATX Outfitters on the sprawling Stonewall Ranch. This 3-day guided hunt puts you right in the heart of prime deer country, where seasoned guide Tye Grissom will lead you to some of the best trophy bucks the Lone Star State has to offer. With low hunting pressure and well-managed land, you'll have a real shot at bagging that wall-hanger you've been dreaming about.
This ain't your average deer camp. You'll be hunting private land that's carefully managed for quality whitetails. Tye knows these grounds like the back of his hand and will put you on the best spots for mature bucks. The small on-site cabin means you can roll out of bed and be in your stand in no time. No wasted hours driving to public land or fighting crowds here. It's just you, your guide, and some of the finest whitetail habitat Texas has to offer. And here's a little bonus - take out a coyote, and you'll pocket an extra $100. Not a bad deal for helping with predator control.
The Stonewall Ranch offers a mix of classic Texas Hill Country terrain. You'll be glassing senderos cut through dense cedar and oak, watching food plots, and set up over natural funnels where the big boys like to travel. Tye's got treestands and ground blinds strategically placed, so you can adapt to the wind and deer movement. During the rut, expect some rattling action to bring in those testosterone-fueled bucks. The key here is patience - we're after mature deer, so pass on the youngsters and wait for a shooter. Tye will be right there with you, helping judge those tricky Hill Country antlers where a 130-class buck can look like a stud.
While this is a new offering from ATX Outfitters, Tye's reputation speaks for itself. Hunters who've been out with him on other properties rave about his ability to put clients on quality deer. His knowledge of whitetail behavior and the local area is second to none. Expect early mornings, long sits, and the kind of camaraderie that only comes from sharing a campfire after a day in the field.
White-tailed Deer: The star of the show here is the Texas whitetail. These deer are known for their impressive antlers, with some real bruisers pushing the 150-inch mark or better. The Hill Country bucks tend to be a bit smaller-bodied than their northern cousins, but what they lack in size, they make up for in antler growth. During the rut (typically peaking in November), bucks become more active during daylight hours, making for some heart-pounding encounters. These deer are masters at using the thick cover to their advantage, so stay alert - that buck of a lifetime might appear with little warning.
Coyotes: While not the primary target, coyotes are fair game on this hunt. These wily predators are constantly on the move, looking for their next meal. They're most active at dawn and dusk, so keep your eyes peeled during those prime deer hunting hours. A well-placed shot on a coyote not only puts some cash in your pocket but helps the local deer population by reducing predator numbers.
If you're itching for a real Texas deer hunting adventure, this is your chance. With only one hunter at a time, you've got the run of the place. That $300 deposit locks in your dates and covers your guide fees and lodging - a steal for a private land hunt of this caliber. Whether you're looking to fill the freezer or hold out for a wall-hanger, Tye and the team at ATX Outfitters will do everything they can to make it happen. Don't let another season slip by - book your spot now and get ready for some serious Hill Country action. Who knows, you might just be the next hunter grinning ear-to-ear in those trophy photos.
White-tailed deer are the bread and butter of Texas hunting. Bucks typically weigh 130-300 pounds, with does a bit smaller. They're crafty critters, using their keen senses and quick legs to vanish in a flash. You'll find them in brushy areas, along field edges, and near water sources. Fall is prime time, especially during the rut when bucks get careless chasing does. Hunters love the challenge – these deer are smart and wary. Plus, venison's hard to beat for the dinner table. For best results, scout early and often. Learn their patterns and set up along travel routes between bedding and feeding areas. A grunt call can work wonders to bring in a curious buck during the rut. Just remember, patience is key with these ghosts of the woods. Stay still, stay quiet, and you might just get a shot at a trophy Texas whitetail.
