Based on three census drives this year, the Ranch averages one deer for every five acres.
Census showed five does per buck with a 4/10 fawn/doe ratio.
The recommended harvest for this hunting season (per 100 acres)
2 - Does
1 - Mature buck (older than 4.5 years with horns that exceed width of ears)
Any spike or cull (deformed) buck.
While driving into Phase VII, I saw a flock of Turkeys with many in full strut.
Here is a great picture of a heard of Auodad from Mike Hoffman.
I recieved some AMAZING Elk & Whitetail pics tonight form Kenny Bonnet

Received a great image today from Jerry Allen.
Both Whitetail Deer and Turkey together at his feeder.
Our annual Association meeting will be on September 20th at the Airstrip. Randy Wood has lined up the Edwards County Chief Appraiser (Bruce Martin) to speak about the individual wildlife management requirements. Bruce will speak to us at 10am, lunch will be served around 11am, and the meeting will begin around 12 pm.
This is a great chance to meet your neighbors and to brainstorm about how we can make Indian Creek Ranch on the premier private wildlife management ranches in Texas!
Looks to be like it could be between a 12 and 14 point buck!! Look down in the bottom right of the picture..
Don't know about you but the sight of this rack makes me excited about the upcoming deer season!
Great new picture added showing a Whitetail Doe and her fawn
