Stowers Ranch Hunting

WHITETAIL DEER - During the first seven weeks of the whitetail hunting season, Stowers Ranch offers whitetail buck hunting. All hunting is guided and is done from blinds. Hunters pay a daily guide fee and a success fee for each buck killed or wounded. This year's fees are shown in the price list.

EXOTIC GAME - Exotics may be hunted throughout the year. The optimum time to hunt an antlered species is governed by that species' antler development. Horned animals, such as sheep and antelope, do not shed their horns and are good trophies at all times of year, although the condition of their coats will vary with the season.

During November and December exotic hunting is done only from blinds. At other times of year exotic hunting may also be done by driving and stalking. Hunters pay a daily guide fee and a success fee for each animal killed or wounded. This year's fees are shown in the price list.

DOE HUNTING - Stowers Ranch occasionally conducts doe hunting during the eighth week of the hunting season. Prices have not yet been established for this year.

TURKEYS - Turkeys are hunted during both the fall and spring seasons. This year's fees are shown in the price list.

GENERAL INFORMATION

PACKAGE HUNTS - Package hunts consist of three days of guided hunting, accommodations, and meals for three days/nights and one white-tail or exotic buck per hunter. Other game may be taken on an individual fee basis, and wild hogs and coyotes are free.

WHAT TO BRING - We recommend rifles that shoot .270 or .30-06 caliber cartriges or other cartriges of comparable power. Binoculars are desirable, and many hunters like to bring cameras. Telephoto lenses are useful in photographing wild game.

RESERVATIONS - We recommend that reservations be made well in advance of the date that you desire to hunt, particularly for whitetail bucks. A nonrefundable deposit of $500 per hunter is required to hold a reservation. Deposits for Package Hunts are due by March 31st of the year of the hunt. Click here for reservation information.

While production of high-quality whitetail deer and exotics is a major commitment of the ranch, of equal importance is the intent to provide hunters a first-class, safe, and memorable hunting experience. Our guides are capable outdoorsmen and the kind of people whom you will enjoy. Your guide will take you to a designated hunting area; help you find wounded animals; and field dress and skin any animal that you shoot.

If a buck hunter had the opportunity to shoot a mature deer having eight or more points and did not shoot one he will be charged $1,000 in addition to the expenses he has incurred at the ranch for guides, lodging and meals. In the case of the Package Hunt these expenses would amount to $600.

All game laws are strictly adhered to, and appropriate hunting licenses must be presented before hunting. The ranch enforces a sensible safety program.
