We are well equipped for any style of hunting.Come visit us at Big Rack Ranch for the hunt of a lifetime! Hunting at one of our ranches gives our clients the opportunity to take some of the best Whitetail deer back home. Hunting methods used vary depending on the time of year and the activity of the bucks. Hunting stands and locations are chosen based on the herd's movements and the specific requirement of the hunter. 

The scenic post oak trees provide the perfect bow hunting opportunity, sandy river bottoms and thick beauty bush allow for a unique stalk hunt, and chasing the sound of a hound baying a hog all make for a memorable hunt.  Exotics include but are not limited to trophy animals such as fallow, axis, blackbuck, gemsbok, red stag and Black Hawaiian sheep.  In 2007 alone, five top 10 SCI animals were taken from our ranch. 

Bella Vista Ranch

Situated high above most of Webb County, Bella Vista "beautiful view" provides a truly unique hunting experience.  Established in 2000, Bella Vista has been intensely managing the native genetics provided by this south Texas hunting refuge.  We offer true South Texas trophy whitetail deer in addition to dove, quail, feral hogs and predator hunts.  The thick brush south Texas provides, aids in producing massive whitetail deer.  However, we enhance their potential by planting numerous food plots and supplementing with protein and cottonseed that is available year round. 

Bella Vista is happy to accommodate any style of hunter whether it is bow, rifle or muzzleloader.  In addition to any style, any type of hunter is welcome.  We are family oriented and handicapped friendly.  If you have already experienced the thrill of a trophy whitetail deer, then hunting a 400+ elk would be just right for you.  Bella Vista is proud to have elk and red stag available for hunters who are looking for an additional trophy to take home.

In addition to hunting, we have fishing available in any of our many lakes.

Laguna Ranch
Located off I 35 approximately 20 miles N of Laredo, this 13,000 acre ranch is located in Webb County.  This ranch is very well managed and loaded with game.

The Briscoe and Gates Catarina ranches offer 20,000 contiguous acres of low fenced fair chase whitetail deer hunting in the heart of the South Texas "Golden Triangle." Deer hunters will experience an authentic brush country trophy deer hunt.  We specialize in fully guided trophy deer hunts for small groups and corporate clients. 

Hunting at the ranch is done from South Texas style, top-driven, "high rack" trucks.  A typical day of hunting may also involve hunting in elevated blinds near feeders, rattling in bucks during the rut, spot and stalk, as well as occasionally hunting from ground blinds or brush blind set-ups. 

The style of hunting can be directed by the hunter in consultation with the guide.  All of our guides are experienced brush country deer hunters.  Our experience and knowledge of the area we hunt in allow us to continue building on a near 100% shot opportunity success rate.  Morning and afternoon hunts are the norm.  Hunters will ride with their guide on one of our high rack trucks to a hunting area, typically situated on one of the many senderos (long ranch roads).  Our guides are passionate about deer hunting, and will have already spent time tracking the movement of mature trophy deer in several parts of the ranch before your arrival. 

All of our hunting is low fenced and fair chase, so we do not guarantee a Boone & Crockett score for the deer you will harvest.  But our experienced guides are sure to put you on an impressive, mature South Texas buck.
