Trust your guide, he knows the ranch and the deer on it that we are targeting. R ancho Encantado manages its deer herd in a manner consistent with producing the largest south Texas whitetail bucks possible, while sustaining optimum habitat conditions. No Northern or outside genetics have been introduced into this deer herd.
Great care is taken to keep the deer herd well below the ranch's maximum carrying capacity.
Ranch manager, Mike Hehman, is one of Texas' most well respected whitetail deer managers. He holds a Masters degree in Wildlife Biology and is an authority on the topics of whitetail deer as well as dry land farming, which is critical to providing optimal nutrition for maximizing antler production. R ancho Encantado has won the Los Caradores deer contest in several different categories, since 1992. No other ranch in North America can make this claim. Needless to say the trophy potential of Rancho Encantado is extremely high.
