Welcome to the Double D Ranch
We anticipate a very limited number of trophy and management white tailed hunts each year but we believe that every hunter who has booked or is interested in booking a hunt will have an extremely rewarding experience.

The Double D Ranch: Our focus
To develop a quality whitetail operation. All existing native whitetails were removed from the ranch and known South Texas genetics were introduced to repopulate the ranch herd. Currently we have produced some 180 B&C class deer and actively manage our herd under a MLDP program to control buck: doe ratios as well as total animals per acre. Our management deer will range from 115 - 140 B&C.
We require all hunters to harvest a doe as part of the hunting package to keep the ratios in line with our management plan.
