Texas Outfitters Trophy Management Buck Hunts

We are proud to offer three classes of Trophy Management Buck hunts at the DropTine Ranch. The ranch has been intensely managed for the last several years with the main objective to allow the bucks attain maturity which is typically 6 years or older before we harvest them. Sometimes we decide for various reasons to harvest some bucks before that age.

The most frequently asked question every potential hunter asks is what is a management buck. Simply put, it is a mature whitetail buck that is 5 years old or older that a hunter on a trophy hunt is typically going to pass up as they are paying 2-3 times the price of a management hunt. However, 95% of the deer hunting population would shoot these bucks as trophy bucks anywhere else in the country. The pictures in our

Management Buck Photo Gallery will give you a good idea of what we will be hunting. These hunts are 1 on 1 with your guide pointing out which bucks you may harvest. We do not guarantee scores but do guarantee you will shoot a Texas Outfitters Drop Tine Ranch Trophy Management Buck!
