Why Hunt Whitetail Deer With Us?

Simply put, WSI is the most diverse whitetail deer hunting outfitter in the business. We currently provide Whitetail Deer packages / guided Texas deer hunts on approximately 125,000 acres which is made up of several different hunting leases or ranches located in various areas of Texas including South, Central, and West Texas. Since 1987, we have hosted hunting for approximately 3,000 whitetail deer hunters, and we have never had a given year where less than 90% of our hunters have taken their whitetail bucks.

Our overall success rate since 1987 has been over 95% on our Texas whitetail deer hunts. We take some giant whitetails deer every year, even on some of our less expensive whitetail hunts. Yes, we do offer Texas deer hunts of various price ranges which are dictated by the particular hunting lease or ranch you choose to book and not the size of the whitetail buck you take. We can also tailor a Texas deer hunt to suit specific needs, and we can easily accommodate corporate groups, family hunts, or individuals. Also, don’t forget, we are staffed by two full-time wildlife biologists, and all of our Texas deer hunting leases or ranches are strictly managed so that we can grow a high percentage of mature, healthy bucks. The largest number of groups we are hunting on any one lease or ranch is four per year, and most are two or three groups hunting per year, which helps prevent our whitetail bucks from turning nocturnal or becoming extremely spooky.

Description of Texas Whitetail Deer Hunting Properties and Camps

One aspect of WSI’s Texas whitetail deer hunting that makes us so unique is our diverse land base.

Our Texas whitetail deer hunting camps vary as well, from basic ranch houses to new, well-appointed lodges. All of our camps are clean and comfortable with all modern amenities, but a few camps are a bit flashier and newer than the others. Most sleeping arrangements are either two or three person occupancy per bedroom, and some camps are indeed more suitable for husband/wife combos than others.

Why Are Whitetail Hunts Priced Differently?

This is a very common question. Our Texas deer hunts are often priced based on location of property and intensity/cost of management program. Simply, all things considered equal, you will generally pay more for South Texas whitetail hunting than any other region in the state, thus our South Texas whitetail hunts are priced accordingly. Additionally, our high fenced Texas deer hunting properties are on intensive feeding programs, and this is factored into the price. As a rule, our higher priced whitetail deer hunts will yield a little stronger average on buck sizes, but there are occasionally exceptions to this, and in some years we will take our best whitetail bucks on our less expensive whitetail deer hunts. Total buck numbers are as good, or even higher, on our lower priced Texas deer hunts than our more expensive hunts. So, regardless of how our whitetail hunts are priced, they are all quality deer hunts where you stand a good chance of taking a whitetail buck of a lifetime.

What Is Furnished on Your Texas Deer Hunts?

Texas Whitetail Hunting Methods

Our whitetail hunting strategy is variable and sometimes flexible. It is often dictated by property we are hunting, time of season, hunter’s ability and interest, and intuition of guide. We employ a combination of methods including stand hunting, spotting and stalking, antler rattling, still hunting, and a limited amount of safari style or vehicle hunting. Our stands vary from comfortable enclosed box hunting blinds to portable tripods, portable cloth blinds, and occasional brush blinds.
