Originally posted by Raypo View PostI’ve been many times but stopped going a few years back. I like the ranch but they are not interested in animals being harvested during these hunts. If you get there early and get a good assigned spot, you might be good. I always like the NW corner of the Taylor section.

Killed Big Red there many years ago during a summer hunt. Lots of critters and a fun time. Probably no one here remembers the owners of Archery Country back in the day ( Bill Blakney f I remember correctly) that named Bg Red. Evidently he had a reputation until I got lucky! Big Corsican ram.

This statement is totally untrue!!! Bonnie and Robbie are great people and have always shown pride in the animals that their hunters bring in. If you can't find a spot and take an animal on a 20,000 acre plus ranch, which is loaded with all types of animals you need to work a little harder!!!

But we saw plenty of animals. At 50 to 200 yards. Getting a shot was the real challenge.
I agree though, the owners seemed like great people to be around.

Another little trick out there... I don't know about now, but back then they would turn off the feeders for the bow hunts. One time I got stuck in an area with a feeder that was off so I pulled my four wheeler up to it, threw a bag of corn in the feeder, reconnected the battery, set the timer...and was covered in deer the next morning lol.

My first time was last june .. if you want to kill go find the animals.. I saw at least 15 shooter axis and could have shot 10 does if I wanted to .. spot and stalk is the only way to hunt them .. if it's hot and dry hunt around the water.. if its green in the meadows hunt around there.. I'm not a sit in a stand person so it's the perfect place for me.. mrs bonnie and her husband were very helpful . He sat and talked with me for about a hour about the ranch and its history.. very nice people..
