Hunter Expectations 
Hunters can expect to see from 30 to 60 mule deer per day along with possible sightings of other native game to include free range; elk, whitetail, aoudad sheep, javelina, mountain lion and coyotes. Most mature mule deer bucks will exhibit antler spreads between 19-26 inches and score from 145 B&C to 175B&C with field-dressed weights from 145 lbs to 185 lbs. Free range bull elk will range from 285-325 B&C. Guides are very experienced and equipment well maintained. Our chefs serve outstanding meals and our lodge has a true feeling of warmth and camaraderie.






Special Equipment

Hunters might consider bringing a rifle of .270 caliber or larger using 140 grain bullets or heavier (NO NOSLER BALLISTIC TIP BULLETS!). Rifles should be topped with high quality variable scopes and sighted "dead on" at 200 yards. High quality binoculars are necessary and powerful spotting scopes are helpful since many bucks are spotted over 1/2 mile away. Warm, quiet clothing, digital camera, video camera, scope covers, ice chest, hunting license, flashlight, along with a small daypack are recommended.

Other Hunting Opportunities

For an additional fee hunters may consider a night-time predator hunt for fox, bobcat, coyote and mountain lion or day-time hunt for javelina, feral hogs, along with free range; whitetail deer, elk and big aoudad rams. 

Travel Tips

West Texas hunters should fly into El Paso or Midland/Odessa International Airports, where they can rent a car and drive to the lodge. Please give us a call before making your final flight reservations.

Muley Crazy


"Thinking over the eight years we've known each other so much has happened. The ranch acreage in Texas alone has grown over 10X. We've hunted four states together and I've been fortunate in both the experience and our friendship. I have a trophy room of top class animals that few hunters ever see much less have the chance to harvest. The constant in all of this is your tireless energies and dedication to give every client the most thoroughly planned and organized hunt possible. Your investment in staff, equipment, and selection of sites and leases secured cannot be matched. My skills have grown and developed with these experiences even if Jim does give me the "look" from time to time. It's all made me a better hunter. I hope other hunters continue to share similar experiences and your friendship, even if it means I have to book earlier too."
