Whispering Water Ranch & Resort

Deer Hunting

The ranch has been under strict game management since it was purchased in 1999. The ranch now includes 2000 acres of premium habitat including an expanded watering system, rotational grazing with cattle, food plots, and selective brush removal. The ranch conducts bi-annual helicopter surveys, cull buck and doe harvest to maintain a 1.2:1 buck to doe ratio, free choice protein supplementation, and importation of superior genetics. Successful management practices have exceeded our expectations as total B&C scores continue to improve yearly.

Management Hunts

Welcome

I started hunting with my father at the age of 4. While in high school, I started managing whitetail deer here in Menard County on a friend’s ranch. I have been interested and involved with raising trophy whitetail by developing pristine habitat and superior genetics ever since. I know what is expected and know what it takes to offer a great quality hunt.

My family and I specialize in the individual or small group of hunters. We focus on quality not quantity. We pay attention to every detail and can promise you a memorable experience. This is your destination for Texas Trophy Whitetail Hunting.
