Welcome to Double J Ranches. One of our ranches is located where we live in Medina County near Castroville. We have been high fenced here since 1994 and have been under a strict management program since then. When I purchased the ranch in 1993, we eliminated the existing native deer herd and Triple T’d 28 bred does from the Roy Hindes ranch near Charlotte, Texas. The Hindes ranch was one of the first ranches to high fence in south Texas many years ago.  To this day, Roy's genetics are some of the best in South Texas.

 

Several gross and a few net B & C’s have been taken on this ranch over the years, consequently, we have excellent typical genetics.   Over the past 10 years we have taken many 150 and 160 class deer a few that grossed over 170 and even some in the 180’s. On most hunts, a hunter will see a minimum of 15 to 20 bucks per morning or evening hunt. We have an equal number of bucks in all age classes so that we have up and coming replacements bucks each year. We generally have 15 to 18 mature bucks to choose from each year. High-end trophy class and exceptional management deer are available.

Our Medina County ranch is in the transition zone between South Texas and the Hill Country.  Parts of the ranch look just like South Texas, although we do have a few large oaks and cedars and we are also blessed with rolling hills and deep brushy draws.

Our hunters have a choice of lodging in the guest rooms at our home or staying in our bunkhouse which offers a deer lease like atmosphere complete with AC, heater, BBQ pit and camp fire ring. On this type hunt you just bring your own food and drinks.

Our other ranch is located in Dimmit county in the heart of the famous Golden Triangle area of South Texas where many of the famous high scoring net book heads have come from in years past. It's the red sand country as some call it. We have a beautiful New Mexico Adobe style lodge there, built under a 60’ by 124’ hanger type structure. The rooms have everything you may need, including huge 4’x 4’ ceramic tile showers, private satellite television reception, fax machine, e-mail and private phone. This ranch regularly produces 150 to 180 class B & C whitetail and even a few over 190 to 200 gross B & C.  

The atmosphere in this part of Texas is quite different. Sightings of wild hog, coyotes, bobcat, and bobwhite quail, and of course, BIG DEER make your hunt here a unique South Texas experience. This ranch is also high fenced and under an extensive yearly management program.


We hunt from deer blinds and each hunter is guided. During your stay our guides take very good care of you. We take care of everything from field dressing your deer to skinning, quartering and packing your meat in ice chests.
 
Our hunt cost is based on B & C gross scores and are priced accordingly. Prices are all inclusive with exception of hunting license and personal effects. Tips are based on performance and are appreciated by our guides.
