My dad and I have a property in Gonzales, Texas. We are both former students.
We have a MLDP so you can hunt through January.

It's high fenced white-tailed deer hunts. We have great genetics!

We are working with a guy named Ricky Lester and his place is called Lester Ranch.

We are selling guided hunts for this year, and spots are filling up fast.

Here is the website if you want to check out the photos.

If you are interested I can also share my email.

So, does the guide just spread the corn on the roads and fish the beers out of the cooler for you, or am I missing something?

We have guides with you up in the deer blinds. It is hunting trophy bucks.

We don't provide beer.

do you do turkey hunts?

The guide is there to stop you from making a mistake, like shooting at 160" buck that is only 3-1/2 years old.
The Lester family are great people, known them my whole life.

That's cool! My dad grew up in Gonzales. His name is Tommy B.

We do not. Deer and exotics is what we specialize in.

asking a question out of ignorance…
on your price list for white tails…. an extra $1000 gets tacked onto the price of 141-190 deer if it is a clean 8?
So a person could take a 190 9point for $1000 less than a 190 8 point????
No negativity ….. i just dont understand trophy hunt pricing.

High scoring slick 8 pointers are very rare, hence the "additional fee", if you've ever seen a 180" 8 pointer you'd understand.

thanks for the answer!

Your Dad was gone from Gonzo, before my time, but your grandfather Harold I remember well in the church. Great man and a legendary strong handshake. I remember being in grade school and he would lay a grip on me

---

Wow. Thanks for making my week. That is one of the many things my dad and grandpa taught me is always having a solid handshake. I have many memories of working the farm and working in the shed with him. He was a tough badass and he knew how to work.

I miss him everyday.

If you don't mind could I ask what your name is? I want to see if my dad knows you.

I don't really want to put my name on here, but I'm sure he knows me or my family.
My Mom was an English teacher & my Grandfather (A&M '38) was a dentist.

I have a couple of friends that to this day my friends that were Methodists will call a strong handshake a "Harold Bruns". He was great & always made time to come see how we rugrats were doing as we looked for food in the Fellowship Hall.
I hunted with Ricky Lester years ago on a lease in South Texas for a while, way before they got into the hunting business. I know his Uncle's family much better (Tom) as I went to HS with all of them.

gonzales apaches unite!

in before the stories about dancing to "the system" in hermansons hall and closing the bars with stories about chicken foot...

CAH?

people pay $6500 to shoot Auodad??

that is unbelievable

---

yup. absolutely laughable. rats with horns.

Can you pet the zebra first?

people shooting Zebras is INSANE to me

its a horse with a paint job.

A SCI record book Aoudad hunt that will score upper 160's will be $12,000 plus. To get that large takes 12-13 years and that's rare in the Auodad world.

good point.

Shhhh

I have a good friend here in Frisco that knows the family and guides there. From what he said, it's an amazing, amazing place. The guides are not the same guides you'd have in the mountains. They are there to help you locate and identify specific animals.

*heard the big ass Eland that was pushing 3Klbs finally had a dirt nap. I saw pics and he was YUUUGE!

Actually a donkey with one hell of an attitude. Zebras can have attitudes that can make a mustang look like a Shetland pony.

---

Zebras are MEAN!

180" eights are EXCEEDINGLY rare. Good luck, folks.

Even more unbelievable that people would pay to shoot a zebra. That's just terrible.

And Giraffes.
