Our Whitetail Management Plan

We are proud to participate in the Roosevelt Hunting Club Whitetail Management Plan listed below...

Even ideal weather and habitat conditions cannot rectify poor management decisions so we are publishing our current plan and encourage other ranches to work with us to make this big buck country. TPWD states that in the Edwards Plateau a deer's home range is 640 acres for most of the year, but recommends 1,000 acres to ensure management effectiveness. With those numbers it only takes a handful of neighbors working together to produce results in a relatively short amount of time. Obviously habitat is a key component to a healthy deer herd, but this informal group is focused on the following game management options at present:

• We shoot mature bucks when they are 5 ½+ with horns outside the ears.
• We shoot cull bucks at 3 ½, especially bucks with no brow tines.
• We shoot the oldest does first, preferably prior to the rut. The quickest way to turn around the genes in a population is to focus on the older does. 
• We shoot spikes and exotics to ease the burden on scarce resources.

Tall Tines,
