I hope that this WSI ENews finds you having a great summer. Our crew has been busy with our typical offseason work, prepping things on various properties and getting ready for our fall schedule. Nice rains over the last few months have most areas of the state in great shape from a vegetation standpoint. We are already seeing what appears to be some great antlers that are still heavy in velvet, with about 60%-70% antler growth in the northern half of Texas, with bucks down south not quite as far into their antler development cycle.

 

We still have openings for various hunts this fall, so please let us know if there is anything that we have to offer that may be of interest to you. We have room for some September/October aoudad hunters, a couple of openings for late August pronghorn in New Mexico, October nilgai, as well as an assortment of whitetail hunts during the October - December time frame.

 

So, drop us a line or give us a call if we can assist.

 

Thanks,

 

Greg Simons

 

  

 

For anyone who may be looking for an outstanding hunting lease for this upcoming season, we have a great opportunity. The ~4400 acre Hemphill Ranch located south of San Angelo, near Christoval, is a beautiful property with rolling hills and an abundance of wildlife. This would make a great corporate lease or would also be a nice place for a group of friends.

An abundance of white-tailed deer, along with a decent population of turkeys, will provide for high recreational pleasure, and with the ranch being lightly hunted in previous years, the new lessee should be pleased with the game numbers and deer quality.    

  

There is a new spacious lodge, which includes 3 large bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, large kitchen and dining area, enclosed porch, with all furnishings. A large rock fire pit is located off of the lodge entrance, wrapped by large oak trees, providing a comfortable and relaxing spot to enjoy an evening campfire. Two large Executive Blinds are on the ranch and the hunters are welcome to use these, in additional to providing their own blinds and game feeders.  

  

 

 The lease runs from the beginning of archery season, around October 20th, and runs through the end of deer season. The first 16 days of spring turkey season are also included. A limited amount of off-season use is provided for hunting season prep, and relaxation. Harvest allotment includes 8 bucks, a minimum of 20 does, as well as 8 turkeys for the spring season. Total lease price is $27,500.
