Thompson Temple Whitetail Hunts

[Shake N' Bake]

Curious if anybody has done a whitetail hunt with Thompson in the last few years?
How was the experience?
I don't mind hunting high fence but I don't want the deer to be led out on a leash.

I've been chatting with him and I'm thinking of taking my 2 sons this coming season.

He saying the ranch is 1 1/2 hrs east of his ranch and there is free lodging available.

Free lodging tells me enough

No knowledge of the outfit, but "free" lodging just means it's in the price of the hunt.

if its anything like his ram hunts, you can make it as easy or hard as you want. no personal experience on the whitetail.

Amen!

In my experience on a mule deer hunt through him, hes just the middle man on anything besides the sheep hunts. It really was not what it was said to be, but was a fun time.

His Ram Hunts are what you make it. His Lodging is part of the uniqueness.

Looks like Chew posted a new lodge for Thompson

This is kind of what it sounds like. The prices are cheap but I just wish I could talk to somebody who has done it.

I don't know anything about his whitetail hunts, but we went on a sheep slaughter about 24 years ago. The "free" lodging we stayed in was a bunk house in town back then.

I'm not sure what kind of prices you're looking at, but Tim has a great place that borders Colorado Bend SP called the 587 ranch, I feel like his prices are extremely reasonable and the lodging is great. You might reach out to him if interested. http://www.587ranch.com/hunting I don't see deer hunts listed anymore, but that may be because he is taking limited numbers.

Basically you drive around in the back of his truck till he spots a deer for you to shoot at from the truck. If he has the $150 per day guide fee I guarantee you won’t see the deer until at least the second day!
I won’t hunt with him but I’ve seen how he does his whitetail hunts firsthand.

I appreciate the info. That's what I was afraid.

So here's my next question.
Does anybody know a reasonably priced place to take a couple young men to shoot a couple cull bucks?
Not looking for fancy accomodations, we would actually prefer to tent camp.

Not being facetious or snarky, but you can make this happen in most of the National Forests in TX pretty consistently. 50 bucks roughly for the APH and you’re set. A climber or lock on helps, but plenty of ground opportunities. Numerous unimproved hunters camp grounds as well. About as cost effective as you can get.

Best of luck in your endeavor.
