At Shonto Ranch, our whitetail deer hunting is becoming legendary.  Our whitetail hunting guests are guided exclusively by our resident wildlife biologist and hunting guide, C.D. McGehee.  During your whitetail hunt, it will just be you, C.D., and your guest(s) on the ranch, and C.D. will do everything possible to put you each on that special whitetail buck and give you the deer hunting experience of a lifetime.

Most of the whitetail deer hunts at Shonto Ranch are conducted safari style.  Hunting safari style allows hunters to cover the entire ranch in a day and be more selective in the trophy that is harvested.  Our whitetail hunters usually see between 100 and 140 whitetail bucks in a day.

Our management program requires that we be selective in the trophy bucks that we take, ensuring that whitetail consistently reach maturity on our ranch.  Our year-round supplemental feed and protein plan contribute to the body and antler development of our whitetail deer, and our hunters reap the benefits.

Ron scored this early season buck just last Fall. Way to go Ron!

Our 5000 acre ranch is located in Deep South Texas, where the country is big and the bucks are bigger. The ranch is high fenced and intensely managed with supplemental feeding. With the buck to doe ratio 1/1.75 you can expect to see countless numbers of bucks. The deer here are native South Texas and are 100% wild. The abundance of cactus, mesquite trees, quajillo and white and black brush provides cover, as well as a great protein source, from where your buck of a lifetime may step out at any moment. During all hunts you will be accompanied by one of our many experienced guides.

Hooks and Horns Outdoors is very family friendly and firmly believes fishing and hunting is a great way for families to enjoy the outdoors, whether your watching you son or daughter land their first trophy fish or with your spouse when they harvest a buck-of-a-lifetime, Hooks and Horns Outdoors would be honored to have had contributed to that accomplishment!
