Looking for a solid hunting opportunity that won't break the bank? This 3-day whitetail doe hunt with ATX Outfitters and guide Tye Grissom delivers exactly what you're after. Set on the prime Stonewall Ranch property in Texas, this hunt puts you in the middle of some of the state's most productive deer country. You're not just filling tags here – you're helping with real herd management while getting quality time in the field. The setup is straightforward: bring your gear, follow Tye's guidance, and make the most of three solid days targeting does. Whether you're a seasoned hunter looking for meat in the freezer or someone wanting to dial in their skills without the pressure of trophy hunting, this trip fits the bill perfectly.
This isn't some fancy lodge experience with all the bells and whistles – it's a working hunt focused on results. Tye knows this ranch like the back of his hand, and he'll put you in positions where the does are moving. The property offers excellent stand locations with clear shooting lanes and well-established deer trails. You'll be hunting private land, which means consistent deer movement and less hunting pressure than public areas. The $300 deposit locks in your dates and covers guide fees, with additional does running $300 each. That's competitive pricing for guided hunting on quality Texas property. Optional cabin lodging is available if you want to stay on-site, though many hunters prefer to camp or find their own accommodations nearby. Field preparation is included, so you won't be left hanging after a successful shot. Tye handles the details so you can focus on making clean, ethical harvests.
The Stonewall Ranch terrain gives you multiple hunting scenarios depending on weather and deer movement patterns. You'll find classic Texas brush country mixed with open senderos and food plots that concentrate deer activity during prime feeding times. Tye positions hunters based on wind direction and recent deer sign, rotating stands throughout the hunt to keep you on fresh deer. Shot distances typically range from 75 to 200 yards, so bring a rifle you're comfortable with at those ranges. The ranch has established shooting houses and ladder stands, but you can bring your own gear if you prefer. Morning hunts start early to catch does moving back to bedding areas, while evening sits focus on feeding patterns. The key here is patience and shot selection – does often travel in groups, so wait for clear shots that won't spook other deer. Tye emphasizes proper shot placement and tracking skills, making this an educational experience for hunters wanting to improve their field craft.
White-tailed does in this part of Texas are typically mature, healthy animals ranging from 90 to 130 pounds dressed weight. These deer have excellent table fare since they're feeding on native browse, supplemented by the ranch's food plots. Does are active year-round but become more predictable during cooler months when they establish consistent feeding and bedding routines. Unlike buck hunting, doe hunting allows for longer seasons and more relaxed hunting pressure. You'll often see groups of three to six does moving together, especially during morning and evening hours. The best part about targeting does is their behavior – they're less skittish than mature bucks and will often give you multiple shot opportunities if you remain patient and still. These deer have adapted well to the South Texas environment, showing excellent body condition and reproductive rates. The ranch's management program focuses on maintaining proper doe-to-buck ratios, making your harvest an important part of the overall herd health strategy. Does also provide excellent meat for the table, with younger animals offering tender venison that's perfect for hunters focused on filling the freezer rather than wall space.
This hunt delivers solid value for hunters wanting consistent action without the premium pricing of trophy buck hunts. Tye's got the experience and property access to put you in position for success, while the flexible pricing structure lets you harvest multiple does if opportunities present themselves. The ranch management aspect adds real purpose to your hunting – you're not just taking game, you're participating in sound wildlife stewardship. With only single-hunter capacity, you get personalized attention and won't be competing with other hunters for prime stand locations. Whether you're looking to introduce someone new to hunting or want a productive hunt focused on meat rather than antlers, this setup works. The $300 deposit gets you started, and Tye can provide additional details about specific dates, weapon restrictions, and current deer activity. Don't wait too long to book – quality doe hunting opportunities on private Texas ranches fill up quickly, especially at these prices.

White-tailed does are smart, alert animals that typically weigh 90-130 pounds here in Texas. They prefer thick brush country and oak motts where they can bed down during the day, usually moving at dawn and dusk to feed in open areas. Fall through early winter gives you the best hunting, when they're moving more and the vegetation has thinned out some. Does make excellent table fare - some of the best venison you'll ever taste, and they're crucial for proper herd management on ranch land. The trick with does is patience and wind awareness. They're incredibly nose-smart, so always hunt with the wind in your favor and give them time to step out from cover. They'll test every scent before committing to cross an opening.
