On our Texas hunting ranch we have a long whitetail season, running from around the first of October Until the end of February. Each part of the season offers their own advantages. The early deer hunting season is usually the warmest. It is usually hot to mild in temperature. This allows our hunters a great time for those who don't prefer cold weather. While not as many animals are coming into eat as the winter months, it can be a prime time for Trophy Whitetail Hunts. Bucks have yet to start rutting and typically run in bachelor groups. They are much more predictable and often stay around the same areas.
In the month of November, the weather starts to cool down quite a bit, temperatures are manageable and most consider this to be t-shirt weather by afternoon. The bucks start in a pre rut and go into a full rut around Thanksgiving. This is our most common hunting time and can result in a very exciting time to chase a Texas trophy whitetail deer. From the sound of a buck grunting or the rattling of fighting horns, these sounds are what excites most hunters in pursuit of the whitetail deer. While the sounds of the hunt are common, the trophy bucks become fairly unpredictable and can travel large distances each day in search of a mating doe. But on the Cross Oaks Ranch, you always have the chance of seeing the big one that has been hiding all season.
After the rut they go into a post rut, starting to slow back down until the end of the season. These days tend to be when the weather is the coldest part of the season, but also has the tendency to produce some of the best hunting Texas has to offer. The cold has the animals very hungry and hunters could see a ton of game during the day.
At the Cross Oaks Ranch, each part of the season can have its own benefits, and you should see some great trophy whitetail deer hunting action. We would love the opportunity to help you pick that best time for your deer hunt, and which is most comfortable for you. We hope to show you the hunt of a lifetime and help you bag that trophy whitetail.
Your lodging is included with our packages and is some of the finest in the state of Texas. We have tried to combine different aspects of different type lodges and camps, to create a great experience for all. Our lodging is nice and clean, giving you all of the amenities of home while you are on your hunt. With a great country feel to it, you can relax in peace and quiet, some even enjoy sitting on the porch in the evenings to enjoy the beautiful views, various wildlife grazing, and awesome Texas sunsets. After the day has ended we have a lot of hunters who enjoy the fire pit area, relaxing with others and talking about the monster trophy whitetail they saw during the day. Many stories and conversations are held at night enjoying the warmth of the stone fire pit.
The Cross Oaks Ranch also has a large game room/barn facility that is one of the nicest around. Our game room has many mounts from around the world, a pool table, big TV, and poker table.
