A over grown deer herd of over grown bucks has forces us to take out some deer from this high fence operation.   

This ranch in Cherokee County Texas is a high fence facility covering the private 206 acres of heavy brush with planted plantation pines in an area with hills and valleys that vary in elevation by more than 250'. Shooting lanes have been cut with food plots and 6 corn feeders at 6 elevated box stands.  Hunts are with rifle, bow, crossbow or muzzleloader it is your weapon of choice. It is recommended that you bring binoculars but not required.

 We have trail cameras on all corn feeders 7 days per week so we know what is in the thick area for big bucks.

On behalf of Pheasants Forever, we ask that before you fire a shot in the field this October, you fire an email to your U.S. Senators and Representative in support of reauthorization of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).

A couple with East Texas roots – Arthur “Buddy” Temple and his wife Ellen – have been presented the 2011 Leopold Conservation Award for Texas for their transformation of an over-grazed, over-hunted South Texas ranch into a haven for wildlife and valuable research venue.
