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.

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.
