Brookesmith/Brown County hunting?

[ecfire1967]

My buddy and I are looking at a 600 acre parcel just west of BrookeSmith. Our landowner just inherited it and we’re thinking about leasing it. Anybody hunt the area?Our owner says the place is loaded with deer with some with 150 class bucks. I’m just looking for info as to the quality of deer in the area. If we lease it all spots are already taken.

Some good deer in that area but a lot of pressure also. You'll be close to the Colorado River, so the ground is fertile and can grow some good sized bucks. You'll have hogs also. I wouldn't rule out a 150's but they won't be numerous. Most of your mature bucks will top in the 120-130's. Really good ones will be 140-150 but not common.

I hunt 700 acres close to Brookesmith and have for almost 40 years. Mature bucks usually in the 120-130 range. Biggest deer killed off our ranch ever was high 140’s. That was 12 years ago. Sometimes a lot of turkey, sometimes none. Very occasional hogs.

Thanks for the info. The place we are on in Oklahoma has 150-160 potential. We have taken a couple mid to upper 140s. My land owners swears the place (Brookesmith) has had 160s harvested. Also has good turkey hunting and I miss hunting the Hill Country. Decisions decisions....

This place is a little more than 3 miles southwest of Brookesmith

I hunt about 35 miles north of Brookesmith and what others have said is true in our neck of the woods, 120-130 normal for the area but deer are plentiful. Turkeys on occasions and hogs come and go and rarely seen.

You kill a 140 in that area you did something. 130s are gonna be your top end deer unless you have great neighbors and a great feed program.

Based on my experience this is spot on.
