Rogers Ranch

As you can see from the photographs in this website, which were all taken last fall on our 2004 hunt, the Rogers’ Ranch once again more than lived up to our hunters expectations. 

This ranch encompassing between 4,000 and 5,000 acres is situated in some of the best hunting the hill country of Texas has to offer.  When you combine that with the fact that over three quarters of our perimeter fences join neighbors who allow no hunting on their properties, it creates a very attractive situation to harvest mature bucks.  Although we strictly limit, and are quite conservative in the harvest on our property, we also have a reservoir of mature bucks coming across the fence all the time.  On an average, our hunters will see 15 to 20 bucks a day. The most difficult problem I have on this hunt is keeping my hunter’s finger off the trigger, and convincing them to be patient and wait for one of the high end bucks that calls this ranch home. 

Because of our desire to make sure all of our hunts are extremely good values, like so many of our other operations, we have priced this hunt with a base cost for the hunt, plus a harvest fee when the trophy is collected.  This assures our hunters of an outstanding value for their experience that they have with us.

Last fall, over a third of our clients that made the hunt with us were folks who have hunted with us every single year since the beginning of this project, six years ago, and a second third were also repeating their hunt at least once..  Because of the high repeat clientele that we have coming on this hunt every year, booking well in advance is a necessity.       

The Rogers Ranch is located between Kerrville and Harper, Texas, which is not much more than an hour from the San Antonio airport.  All of the meals, lodging, and guides are provided.  Most of our hunters stay in our very comfortable lodge, located out on the ranch.  Hunters bringing families with them, will normally sleep at a motel on the edge of town, however, that is only about 10 minutes away should you be interested in bringing some non-hunting guests with you. 

This hunt is an excellent opportunity to start a youngster out on his hunting career.  In that the majority of the hunting is done out of blinds, it enables our hunters to have time to judge the animal, and secure a good rest in order to make a clean and successful harvest. 

Once your trophy is collected, we will take care of caping the animal in preparation for you taking it home, or are more than happy to deliver it to a local taxidermist who will complete the preservation of your trophy for you.  The meat is also yours to take home with you, or you can leave it in Kerrville to be processed and shipped to you later.

Without question, this will be one of the most enjoyable and productive hunts of its type that you could go on.  We also have numerous exotics on the ranch, both free ranging as well as access to other animals living behind a high fence that can provide some fun and exciting opportunities for our hunters to enjoy while they are on this whitetail hunt.  Those animals are available to you on just a trophy fee basis. 

We ask for a 50% deposit on the base cost of our hunt to confirm a booking, with the balance and harvest fees due at the conclusion of the hunt.   The deposit can be made with a check, Visa, or MasterCard, whichever is most convenient for you.

After you have had a chance to look this information over, if you have any further questions, or would like to add your picture in next year’s brochure as one of our successful hunters, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.

2008 TEXAS WHITETAIL- ROGERS RANCH
SCHEDULE & RATES

Texas Mule Deer - Whitetail – Cerf Ranch

2004 was a very exciting year for us here at International Adventures Unlimited, when we added the Cerf Ranch to our list of offerings to our clients.  Without question, this is one of the premier Desert Mule Deer hunting ranches in the state of Texas.  There are a few quality whitetails that also call this ranch home, as well as a strong population of javelinas, which can provide a unique sub-trophy for a deer hunt in the fall, or a fun opportunity in the off season for our clients to come down on a javelina hunt.  Having both species of deer available to our hunters on three of our hunts, as well as pricing the hunt with a base cost of the hunt, plus harvest fee, our hunters can custom tailor a hunt to meet their own expectations and budget.  The number of mule deer on this ranch is truly incredible.  Last year our hunters each saw between 30 and 50 bucks a day while they were hunting mule deer on this ranch.  Hunting for both mule deer and whitetail takes place from blinds, as well as high seats in four wheel drive vehicles moving about the ranch.  The majority of the whitetail will be taken from blinds, however, the vast majority of the mule deer will be taken from the high seats that allow a hunter to look into the brush as their elevation makes that visibility possible.  The Cerf Ranch is located midway between Ft. Stockton and Sanderson, Texas in a truly rugged, yet beautiful area, that holds an almost unbelievable population of Desert Mule Deer.   We have a very comfortable lodge located right on the ranch where all meals and lodging will be provided for our hunters, as well as quality guides who are familiar with the ranch and the species, to insure that you have a most enjoyable and successful hunt. Predators as well as jack rabbits and quail hunting will provide our clients with some additional hours of enjoyment on this ranch if they are interested in that as well.  Special quail hunting opportunities are also available during the months of January and February.   In order to maintain the quality of animals that the Cerf currently has, we will be strictly limiting the harvest every year, which will necessitate booking this hunt well in advance to insure a spot the year you want to go. We ask for a 50% deposit on the base cost of our hunt to confirm a booking, with the balance and harvest fees due at the conclusion of the hunt.   The deposit can be made with a check, Visa, or MasterCard, whichever is most convenient for you.  The pricing structure that we have in place guarantees a top value for our clients. The above policy applies to both our fall deer hunts, as well as our off season javelina hunts.  We have posted specific hunt dates for our off season javelina hunt, however, if at any time a group of six or more are interested in making that hunt, special dates can be arranged exclusively for that group. If you have any further questions or desire to proceed with booking, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. Michael H. Grosse (970) 641-5369

Kent Creek Ranch

The Kent Creek Ranch which is located north and west of Leakey, Texas, and less than two hours from San Antonio, will be providing our clients with some truly unique and quality hunting experiences this year.  The whitetail hunting on this ranch is part of a Texas Parks and Wildlife’s Managed Land Deer Program, which allows us to hunt whitetails from October 2nd through February 28th.  As you will see, one of our hunts actually takes place after the regular season is closed.  This is a post rut time period when the big bucks seem to be the most visible.  Because of the strict management practices that have been implemented on this ranch, having the opportunity to harvest a quality Texas Hill Country buck is assured. Our accommodations are excellent on this ranch, and we welcome hunters both with gun and bow.  The majority of the hunting is done from blinds, however, stalking is also a possibility, especially when hunting some of the tremendous exotics that also call this ranch home.  No  where in Texas will you find a higher quality Axis Deer herd than here at Kent Creek.  Axis, Sika, Fallow, Blackbuck, Wild Hogs, Mouflon and Corsican rams are all available to our hunters for just a harvest fee while they are on our whitetail hunt.   Because of the incredible quantity and quality of Axis deer on the property, we will also be running two Axis deer hunts in the spring and summer. Because these animals are native to India, and the southern hemisphere, they are in the peak of their rut during this time of year.  Although at any time of the year you may find bucks in both hard horn and velvet, the majority of the bucks are hard horned in this spring and summer time period.  The Axis buck is no doubt one of the most beautiful animals in all of the world, and mounting one in velvet or hard horn certainly will be one of the focal points of your trophy room.  As in years past, the harvest of trophy animals will be strictly limited in order to guarantee that our clients will be able to always find animals that more than live up to their expectations on this truly unique and quality ranch.  We also offer hunts for females of the species that you see listed on our price sheet that can provide groups of hunters with a relatively inexpensive way of filling their freezers, to say nothing of the fun time they will have.  We do have our posted hunting schedule dates, however, at any time groups of six can be accommodated on an exclusive basis at a time convenient for them if our published schedule does not work for them.  When you have decided to take advantage of this great hunting opportunity, we ask for a 50% deposit on the base cost of our hunt, with the balance and trophy fees payable at the conclusion of the hunt itself.  The deposit can be made with a check, Visa, or MasterCard, whichever is most convenient for you.  The pricing structure that we have in place guarantees a top value for our clients. If you have any further questions or desire to proceed with booking, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. Michael H. Grosse (970) 641-5369

Stagecoach Ranch

The Stagecoach Ranch, located just north of Rankin, Texas was hunted by us last fall for the first time in over a decade.  Our hunters enjoyed a most spectacular experience, collecting some real nice trophies for this part of Texas.  The hunting takes place primarily out of blinds with our hunters seeing some real quality bucks because this ranch has had no hunting pressure for a long time.  Each year we will only take four to six hunters on one hunt on this 17 square mile ranch.  We will be staying in the town of Rankin, which is located about 10 minutes from the Stagecoach Ranch.   To assure a top value experience for all of our hunters, as in the majority of our operations, we will be pricing this hunt with a base cost of the hunt, plus a harvest fee when your trophy is collected.  We ask for a 50% deposit on the base cost of our hunt to confirm a booking, with the balance and harvest fees due at the conclusion of the hunt.   The deposit can be made with a check, Visa, or MasterCard, whichever is most convenient for you.  Because of the very limited number of people we will be hosting each year, booking well in advance will be a necessity.   If you have any further questions or desire to proceed with booking, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.  Michael H.
