Hunters travel thousands of miles for a chance to buy a South Texas deer. The majority of our deer hunters come from up north - Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Michigan and New York, with some coming from California and Florida. At the 4,000-acre Fennessey Ranch near Bayside, owner Brien O'Connor Dunn offers hunting for waterfowl, Russian boar and deer. Most hunters stay at nearby Circle H Outfitters on Copano Bay. Dunn started his business 12 years ago, making him a pioneer in South Texas.
Hunters are willing to pay for a quality experience.
They don't necessarily have to go home with a trophy, but they have to leave with good memories and the idea that their money was well spent.
