7 Deer Hunting Myths Debunked

DEER FRIENDS. Low-fenced and 166 inches of antler!

This huge trophy buck is the same one on the header of our website.  We had been watching him for a couple of years to allow him to mature and spread his "genes".  The time was right in 2013 for a harvest.  He had been captured on our cameras and been seen on the ranch.  But as "low-fenced" ranches hold no captive, this buck jumped over the fence and was harvested by our neighbor.  Congratulations!  He scored 166 inches of antler.  The good news, there will be more bucks with his genetics. 

DEER FRIENDS White-tailed Deer Advisory Committee

White-tailed Deer Advisory Committee
Recently a new responsibility has been accepted by me your humble LeGrand Headwaters Ranch owner/correspondent. I have been appointed as a member of the White-tailed Deer Advisory Committee (WTDAC) for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). This committee serves in an advisory capacity to TPWD ensuring substantive input into matters pertaining to white-tailed deer conservation, regulation, research and management in Texas. The term is a three year appointment. This is a diverse group of representatives assembled to advise TPWD on white-tailed deer.

I seek your input or thoughts about white-tailed deer conservation, regulation and research. This year a focus will be on MLDP regulations. Please feel free to send questions, suggestions and advice. The first meeting is March 3, 2015 in Austin, Texas.

Emilie Reed:  Emilie is a beautiful young lady.  She enjoys the outdoors, and she harvested this 9 point buck while hunting on the LeGrand Headwaters Ranch in west Texas.

Clinton J. James:  The final beauty of this white-tailed Texas hunt was harvested by Clint James of Lucedale, MS. The weather was warm, cool, misty, and foggy all during his hunts.  This buck was harvested on the last day of his stay in Texas.

This group of hunters actually provided the Texans with much laughter and entertainment.

 Mark McDonald:  LeGrand Headwaters Ranch hosted guests from the great state of Mississippi.  They enjoyed seeing all the white-tailed bucks.

Mark McDonald from Leakesville, MS, saved the best for later in the hunt.  He was delighted as we photographed this 8 point buck.

Mark and Emilie were quite the competitors at shuffle board.
