Free Range Elk and Mule
Deer Hunts
 |
|
Texas is home to a number of desert mule deer and several small herds of wild free-ranging elk. Mule deer are found in the trans-Pecos mountain region of far west Texas and the Palo Duro Canyon area in the panhandle region of North Texas. Many of the mature mulie bucks and elk bulls harvested in West Texas are matching what is currently coming out of the Rocky Mountain states. Hunters are not required to enter a State Drawing so licenses are guaranteed. Hunters will also find lengthy hunting seasons and are not forced to pick a certain set of days to hunt like many rocky mountain states. Elk hunters may rifle or archery hunt the bugling elk season or catch the start of the mule deer rut. Hunters will usually find the weather comfortable and free of snow, and deep mud as often found in the Rocky Mountains. In addition, hunters may hunt out of a vehicle safari style and have the opportunity to harvest additional game during their hunt such as feral hog, bobcat, fox, javelina, and/or aoudad sheep. |

Hunting Methods
|
|
We leave our hunting lodges at or before first light and return late morning for lunch. After lunch, we once again head out into the field for the afternoon hunt. Hunting is conducted primarily safari-style out of 4WD trucks, jeeps and ATV's with frequent stops to glass nearby mountains and canyons for game. Walking and stalking called "still hunting" along with spending time overlooking a favortie afternoon watering hole are also excellent methods of locating big bucks. Most shooting opportunites are at distances under 200 yards while some shot opportunities may be further. "Mountain Hunting" may require hunters to shoot resting their rifles on shooting sticks, bipods, or over the top of their guide's backpack. In preparation for their trip, hunters may want to consider practicing their shooting from similiar rests to help prevent a "missed opportunity" when it's "show time"!

"First of all, thank you
both so much for an outstanding hunt. Dan and I had a
great time. The food was outstanding, we were treated
well, and the mule deer we took surpassed all of our
expectations. The Palo Duro Canyon Ranch is one
impressive ranch as well. Dan and I are already trying
to figure out a way to get back and hunt with you all
again. I think those aoudad might be in trouble! Thanks
again."
