Hunter
Expectations
 |
|
You can expect to be treated well, hunted hard, eat so well you gain weight, warm comfortable bed, excellent hunting equipment, experienced, honest, hard working staff, and a feeling of camaraderie amongst the camp. Whitetail hunters enjoy seeing lots and lots of game, sometimes as many as 25 different whitetail bucks a day or more. In addition, our hunters often see bobcats, turkeys, feral hogs, and javelina depending on the ranch. Mature trophy bucks are 5 1/2 years of age or older while Management bucks are often targeted earlier. Our widest inside spread buck to date was 26 7/8". Our affordable "free range" whitetail ranches produce bucks that often score 120 to 155 B&C, with our "Sanctuary" high fenced ranches producing bucks that often score 140-180 B&C. "Magnum Hunters" are often allowed to shoot multiple doe deer and cull bucks legally, and at no charge, under the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department "MLDP Level III" program. These culling permits are individualized for our ranches in an effort to help us improve our whitetail deer herd! Hunters are expected to be safe with their weapon of choice at all times, respect and follow State & Federal Game Laws in addition to ranch rules, have a positive mental outlook, willing to hunt hard, spend as much time in the field as necessary, maintain good marksman for ethical harvesting of game, and respectful of others at all times. We want everyone's hunt to be a total success. |

Travel
Tips
|
|
 |
Hunters should consider securing their airline tickets at least 2 months in advance of their travel dates. Hunters driving to the Lodge should arrive the afternoon before the first day of their scheduled hunt between the hours of 12:00 - 4:00 p.m., and plan to depart the morning following the end of their hunt. Hunters flying into the San Angelo, TX airport between 10:00 am - 4:00 pm will be provided free airport transfers to the Lodge. Hunters who choose to arrive in their own personal aircraft will be accommodated. Hunters may obtain their hunting license in advance through the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department or directly through Magnum Guide Service, LLC. We are a licensed vendor for the State of Texas. Hunters should consider traveling with a soft wheeled duffle bag and a locking gun case. Carry on items may be transported in a backpack which will come in handy when shuffling your gear from the Lodge to our vehicles. Hunters may have their meat processed or donated to a charitable organization. Also, Hunters may choose to have their trophies mounted by a local taxidermist or shipped back home to their taxidermist of choice.

| *Harvest quotas and objectives are based upon Texas Parks & Wildlife Department's "Technical Guidance Biologist's" recommendations and availability changes as harvest quotas are met and as the hunting season progresses. Our goal is to protect and conserve our wildlife through sound management practices for all to enjoy. Through the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department's "Managed Lands Deer Program" MLDP Level III, we believe in offering our Hunters the ability to participate in managing our whitetail deer herd through "herd reduction" of "antlerless deer" and "culling" of "inferior bucks". We take fewer Hunters and allow them the opportunity to legally harvest surplus whitetail deer so long as it is within the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department guidelines.

Jim & Melony, I had
the best time of my life. This was truly a hunt of a
lifetime. The Jones lodge was first class from the
guides (J.P., Riley, and Roy) to the great cooks
(Mary-Ann and Vicki) of course the deer, oh my
goodness the deer. I saw many deer I could have
shot, but held out for the 145-class 8-point I got.
Thanks for the great memories and wonderful time I
had. I can't wait to come back.
Mike
Sloan, FL.
"Thanks Jim
and Melony, and James. For anyone interested in
Trophy whitetail deer hunting, Magnum Guide Service is
the booking to make.
The trophy management practices you are using on the
ranches are working very well. I have never seen quality
bucks in such large numbers anywhere else I have hunted.
I would gladly recommend your services to anyone so
please give my phone # to any potential client that
wants to talk to a satisfied past and future customer. Thanks again for the, "Ninth inning nine pointer". He
will be a favorite memory of mine for the rest of my
life."
