"Men go back to the mountains, as they go back to sailing ships at sea, because in the mountains and on the sea they must face up, as did men of another age, to the challenge of nature. In the hills and on the water the character of a man comes out." Abram T. Collier

"There is a passion for hunting something deeply implanted in the human breast." Charles Dickens

Trophy Bull Elk Hunting

"The true trophy hunter is a self-disciplined perfectionist seeking a single animal, the ancient patriarch well past his prime that is often an outcast from his own kind... If successful, he will enshrine the trophy in a place of honor. This is a more noble and fitting end than dying on some lost and lonely ledge where the scavengers will pick his bones, and his magnificent horns will weather away and be lost forever." Elgin Gates

"Growing up, I've enjoyed hunting with my father." Dale Earnhardt

"Now I see the secret of making the best person, it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth." Walt Whitman

Trophy Black Bear Hunting

"What was big was not the antlers, but the chance. What was full was not the meatpole but the memory of the hunt." Aldo Leopold

Florida Osceola Turkey Hunting

"Take you kids hunting or you will end up hunting for your kids." Ted Nugent

Colorado Merriam's Turkey Hunting

"The great primitive outer world is still unconquered, and there are impulses within the beast of man not yet measured, curbed and devitalized, which are the essential motives of life. Therefore without, without wantonness, and without cruelty, we shall hunt as long as the arm has strength, the eye glistens, and the heart throbs. Lead On!." Saxton Pope

Texas Trophy Whitetail Deer Hunting

"I hunt because I love the entire process: the preparations, the excitement, and sustained suspense of trying to match my woods lore against the finely honed instincts of these creatures. On most days spent in the woods, I come home with an honestly earned feeling that something good has taken place. It makes no difference whether or not I got anything: it has to do with how the day was spent." Fred Bear

Wild Hog Hunting

"I do not hunt for the joy of killing but for the joy of living, and the inexpressible pleasure of mingling my life however briefly, with that of a wild creature that I respect, admire and value." John Madson

Trophy Mule Deer

COLORADO
MULE DEER$6500

Lone Star Outfitters has harvested 18 mule deer bucks on our ranches in Colorado since 2009. Mule Deer had not been hunted for the prior 8 years allowing the herd size to recover and the trophy bucks to mature. This has allowed us to take bucks scoring 196 5/8, 191 3/8, 190 2/8, 186, 182, 176, 172, 168, 164, 162, 158, and 156 while leaving many trophy-quality bucks for the coming seasons. Neighboring ranches have also followed a similar game management practice allowing the herds to increase in size and quality. The upcoming hunting season should provide opportunities for mature 190 -210 inch mule deer bucks based on the high numbers of mature bucks left on the ranch after this past season.

1x1 ( one hunter per guide) guided hunts are available for an additional $1000.00
