Texas Outfitters Monster Whitetail Hunt

This hunt is the best hunt we offer through Texas Outfitters at The DropTine Ranch located in Frio County near the town of Pearsall. This area is located in the heart of the best whitetail hunting in Texas and is less than 1 hour south of San Antonio. There are many famous ranches in the area, and Pearsall is home of the largest whitetail deer contest in the world: The Los Cazadores Deer Contest. Over the last several years, there has been an average of 15 bucks scoring over 200 B&C brought in each year with the largest being over 245 B&C. Although there are other places in North America to hunt large deer, on the DropTine Ranch you will see significantly more deer and will not have to deal with sub-zero temperatures. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to hunt Javalina, hogs, coyote and bobcat during your hunt all the while enjoying a 5-Star lodge and amenities.

Texas Outfitters Trophy Management Buck Hunts

We are proud to offer three classes of Trophy Management Buck hunts at the DropTine Ranch. The ranch has been intensely managed for the last several years with the main objective to allow the bucks attain maturity which is typically 6 years or older before we harvest them. Sometimes we decide for various reasons to harvest some bucks before that age.

The most frequently asked question every potential hunter asks is what is a management buck. Simply put, it is a mature whitetail buck that is 5 years old or older that a hunter on a trophy hunt is typically going to pass up as they are paying 2-3 times the price of a management hunt. However, 95% of the deer hunting population would shoot these bucks as trophy bucks anywhere else in the country. The pictures in our Management Buck Photo Gallery will give you a good idea of what we will be hunting. These hunts are 1 on 1 with your guide pointing out which bucks you may harvest. We do not guarantee scores but do guarantee you will shoot a Texas Outfitters Drop Tine Ranch Trophy Management Buck!
