Hunting is limited to maintain large numbers of 140+ class trophy whitetail bucks, with some bucks scoring above 160. The area of the ranch is large enough to offer deer herd protection from outside hunting. Hunts are 5 1/2 days in length. Full-rut hunts are available in November. BowHunting is from tree stands only, with 25-35 yard average shots. Hunters enter and exit the area without disturbing the deer. Service is first class. Hunters are provided lodging, continental breakfast, light lunch, hot supper, and drop off and pick up form stands. We offer 6 bow hunts and 6 rifle hunts each year. this limited hunting, allows more deer to reach world-class status. Randy Smith is the guide and manager of this operation. | |

| Feed Plots and corn piles | |
| We have feed plots planted specially for the our deer on the ranch. Some of our feed plot locations are the only man mad food source for 5 miles. Our feed include winter wheat , soybeans, clover, and milo. The feed plots make excellent evening hunting locations. On morning hunts we hunt areas between the feed plots and bedding locations. We also have corn piles to enhance specific stand location.. | |
