Snuff City Ranch Trophy whitetail hunting

Snuff City Ranch consists of 1,153 high fenced acres completed in 1989. It has been intensely managed for whitetail deer since 1990. Trophy whitetail hunting began on the ranch in 1994.

The ranch always has at least twenty (20) heavily fertilized food plots and provides cover that consists of oak, mesquite, cedar and other species. Northern deer with superior genetics were purchased and released on the ranch between 1991-1998. Since 2001 Snuff City Ranch has released bucks each year from its' scientific breeding program. The ranch has developed a reputation for large bodied animals and heavy mass. Mature bucks typically field dress between 180-200 pounds and some even larger. In 1998 the number one (1) scoring deer in Texas was killed here with a gross B&C score of 234. The next year (1999) a buck was harvested that grossed 218 B&C. Each year thereafter the ranch has yielded several bucks in the 160-190 range. In 2005, and again in 2006, two trophies that grossed in the 180's and four in the 160's were harvested.

one of the best ranches in Texas

The buck/doe ratio is maintained each year at 2:1 with an average of 110 horned bucksand 55 to 60 does. Only 8 to 10 trophy hunts are booked each year and almost notrophy hunter harvests a buck that gross scores less than 155-160 B&C.
This ranch has proven to be one of the best trophy whitetail hunting ranches in Texas.
