A nice 8 point buck in velvet |
At Shonto Ranch, our
whitetail deer hunting is becoming legendary.
Our whitetail hunting guests are guided
exclusively by our resident wildlife biologist
and hunting guide, C.D. McGehee. During
your whitetail hunt, it will just be you, C.D.,
and your guest(s) on the ranch, and C.D. will do
everything possible to put you each on that
special whitetail buck and give you the deer
hunting experience of a lifetime.
C.D. has 35 years of
experience as a Texas wildlife biologist and
hill country hunting guide. There's no one
more knowledgeable about the growth and habits
of whitetail deer in Texas than C.D.
Most of the whitetail
deer hunts at Shonto Ranch are conducted safari
style. Hunting safari style allows
hunters to cover the entire ranch in a day and
be more selective in the trophy that is
harvested. Our whitetail hunters usually
see between 100 and 140 whitetail bucks in
a day.

A trophy whitetail buck (185 gross B&C, unofficial) |
Our management program
requires that we be selective in the trophy
bucks that we take, ensuring that whitetail
consistently reach maturity on our ranch.
Our year-round supplemental feed and protein
plan contribute to the body and antler
development of our whitetail deer, and our
hunters reap the benefits. Every year, we
produce trophy bucks in the 150-160 class, and
each year lucky hunters harvest trophies even
bigger, up to 185 so far. And with our
management disciplines in place, each year the
potential for bigger and bigger whitetail grows.
