Pope Brother's would like to thank you for your interest in hunting with our guide service. We have been in the business now for ten years and have built a solid reputation of providing top notch hunts. With a success rate of over 95% across the board, we have a very high return rate. We want you to come back and hunt with us every year or as often as you can then go home and tell all of your hunting friends about the excellent experience you had with PBGSO.

We offer year round hunting opportunities on well over 2 million private acres in North, West, Central, South Texas and Mexico for over sixty species of native and exotic animals and are always expanding. If you have done some research you will find we have very competitive pricing. We are in the outfitting business because we have a great passion for hunting, not to get rich. Our motto is we tell it like it is and we deliver on what we advertise.

We work for you, all of our hunts are set up to be customized by the hunter.  We allow rifle, pistol, muzzle loader, or archery equipment as means of harvesting game on our hunts. Some of the most common methods of hunting are spot and stalk, safari style, blind hunting, still hunting, and calling. There is no age limit on the hunts we offer. If you can fire a weapon of proper strength to harvest the animal of your choice you can hunt with us. PBGSO is capable of accommodating handicapped hunters as well. We do offer discounts for military, children under 16, large groups, referred clients, and multiple animals harvested.  We hope you like what you see and look forward to hunting with you on your Texas hunt.

Pope Brothers Guide Service - Whitetail

Area: Gillespie

Preferred Customer: Any

Acres: 3500

Amenities / Additional Info: Shelter on PropertyGame Managed

Additional Information

Overview:

PBGSO offers whitetail hunts on several different ranches. First and foremost we do not mix hunting groups ever so If you or your group books a Whitetail hunt with PBGSO, you will be the only party whitetail hunting that particular ranch at that time. Every ranch we offer whitetail hunts on is well managed and we always minimize the amount of hunts per ranch to what the ranch can handle.

Most of our Hill Country Whitetail hunts are non guided we take you to and from the deer stands and you hunt as much as you wish on your own. All South Texas Whitetail Hunts, Mexico Whitetail Hunts, West Texas Whitetail Hunts, and Preserve Whitetail Hunts are fully guided (when a whitetail hunt is fully guided this means you are guided 1 hunter x 1 guide unless you ask otherwise at all times).

Hill Country Special Whitetail Hunts
We have several whitetail ranches available that will range in size from 200 to 3500 acres. These ranches are located in the Hill Country or Central Texas in these counties: Gillespie, Blanco, Kerr, Real, Edwards, and Medina. These Hill Country whitetail hunts have about a 120 class B&C score average we have had hunters take larger bucks up to 150 B&C and some smaller than 120 B&C are taken each year. This is not a guided hunt you will hunt from blinds/shooting houses overlooking feeders or green fields on your own (unless you ask for a guide). We have a 100% opportunity for whitetail bucks on this hunt with a 98% success rate through the 8 years we have offered this package.

 You can harvest 1 whitetail buck of choice (no restrictions the best buck you see is the best buck you can shoot), up to 2 does, and hogs if hogs are available some ranches have hogs some do not. We also have free ranging exotics on some ranches mainly axis deer if this might interest you please inquire exotics can be taken for an additional harvest fee on this hunt.

West Texas Whitetail Hunts
We have 4 large whitetail ranches available in West Texas. This area is growing in popularity due to the size of whitetail bucks being taken (140-150 B&C average is common in some areas with larger bucks being taken in these areas from time to time)and the price is much lower than South Texas whitetail hunts. PBGSO has done their homework and has found ranches available for you to hunt in the best areas West Texas has to offer.

This hunt is a fully guided 1x1 hunt unless you ask otherwise. You can harvest 1 mature whitetail buck of choice, up to 2 does, hogs, or 1 javelina if hogs or javelina are available. Predators: you can also take as many coyote,1 bobcat, or 1 fox as long as this does not interfere with taking your whitetail buck. Mountain lion if the chance does arise will have a harvest fee. For more information please contact us.

South Texas Whitetail Hunts
We have several ranches available in South Texas from 500-10,000+ acres Most of these ranches are located in Webb County or the Laredo area (this county has put more whitetail in the B&C book than any other county in Texas). We also have ranches in Dimmit, La Salle, Uvalde, and other South Texas counties. We break these hunts up into Management or Trophy whitetail hunts.

These South Texas Management Hunts are generally 8 point whitetail bucks that score between 120-140 B&C and our average score for our management whitetail bucks is in the 130 B&C range. We get you the best management buck we can get you. 

You can harvest 1 mature whitetail buck of choice, 1 whitetail doe, and 1 hog or 1 javelina if available. If you wish to harvest more than 1 whitetail buck, 1 whitetail doe, 1 hog, or 1 javelina they will have an additional harvest fee. You can also take as many coyote and 1 bobcat as long as this does not interfere with taking your whitetail buck. For more information please contact us.

Preserve Trophy Whitetail Hunts
PBGSO has access to several preserves or high fenced whitetail ranches in Texas. These ranches are highly managed and the deer are protein fed year round. On these trophy whitetail hunts you will have the opportunity to harvest bucks from 150 B&C range to over 200 B&C. Our Preserve trophy whitetail hunts are not typical in that these ranches range in size from 1000 - 3500 acres+ this is not a canned hunt in a small enclosure it is a hunt in a large preserve with highly managed whitetail bucks. For more information about what we have available along with pricing please contact us.

Pope Brothers Guide Service - Exotics

Amenities / Additional Info:

Additional Information

Overview:

Exotics hunts can be conducted year round and we have access to 50 plus species from all over the world. Many of these species can no longer be hunted in their native countries and Texas animals have been sent back for restocking efforts. PBGSO has access to over 20 of the finest exotic hunting ranches in Texas. We offer exotics such as Axis, Black Buck, Fallow, Sika, bison, elk, nilgai, and Aoudad free ranging for those of you that do not wish to hunt in a high fence. However all of the high fenced ranches we hunt are sizable averaging about 2000 acres. If you are under the impression exotic hunts are canned hunts this is not the case or at least not with PBGSO. Exotic hunts are very challenging and every hunt we offer is fair chase.

Exotic hunts are always conducted in the manner you choose. Spot and stalk, safari style, glassing, still hunting, and blind hunting are the most common methods. We allow you to use rifle, pistol, muzzle loader, or archery equipment. PBGSO can put you on top notch exotics that will most likely score very well in the record books. Most of these exotic hunts are conducted in the Hill Country region of Texas: Kerrville, Junction, Rock Springs, Fredericksburg, Blanco, and Uvalde areas.  Most exotics harvested are in the upper end of the trophy category, Gold medal type at no additional charge. If you are interested in animals guaranteed to score within the top 5 or 10 for the year or all time please contact us. We maintain a 99% success rate on all exotic hunts we have ever offered. PBGSO will work very hard to get you the exotic of a lifetime.
