• I was lucky enough to be able to take my 12 yr. old daughter Sophie to the Boomer Ranch for a buck hunt. It was a 10.5 hour drive from north Mississippi to Lampasas but let me tell you it was worth the drive. The accommodations, deer, and most important the hospitality shown to us was second to none! We arrived on a Friday at 1pm, and Mr. Paul was waiting for us at the gate to take us to the awesome 3 bedroom house we would be staying in for our hunt. We were in the stand by 4pm that afternoon and had deer in the field by 4:15pm. The bucks we saw during that hunt had me and my daughter in awe! The patience and instruction given to Sophie by Paul as she was trying to make a shot on one of the targeted bucks was impressive. By 5pm she had taken a beautiful 130 class 10 point! The biggest buck of her young hunting life! She can’t wait to get it on the wall in her room! Paul went out of his way to make sure she had every opportunity to be successful! The memories and friendships made that weekend will last a lifetime! The Boomer Ranch is a family oriented hunting facility that I would be proud to take my daughter back to again. Mr. Paul, thank you so much for going the extra mile to make us feel welcomed! We look forward to spending time with you at the Boomer Ranch in the future. 10/29/21 Thanks

• This was truly the best experience as far as having the complete success with the hunt of my life, as I was able to harvest my biggest trophy buck of my life. This was my second trip to the Boomer Ranch and it ended with the same result as my first, as I was successful in harvesting a beautiful trophy turkey within only 20 minutes. The accommodations, lodging and atmosphere is out of this world and truly indescribable. Paul and Richard made my dreams come true with the harvest of my very best Trophy buck…a main frame 12 point with 21 total points and two drop tines, double and triple brow tines and crab claws. This buck has everything that I could have possibly wanted a buck to have, having all of those characteristics, making this all the more special. I assure you when you arrive at the Boomer Ranch, you will not leave there disappointed. I will be returning in the future. If someone is looking for a hunt of a lifetime or just the perfect getaway with the best atmosphere, the Boomer Ranch is the place to be for sure. Until next time, I am looking forward to another exciting hunt/trip with this awesome Outfitter at the Boomer Ranch.

• Big Thanks to Paul at the Boomer Ranch for a fantastic hunting experience. I took the biggest buck of my life, a 200 lb. main frame 12. The genetics at the Ranch are outstanding. Paul has done it right. He scouts and has trail cameras which helps when you are limited to a weekend hunt. The camp is very nice. Two large bedrooms with several beds and a full kitchen. The property is beautiful and full of game, deer and turkey. His stands are big and comfortable. Paul and Richard(aka ZZ Top) are some fun guys to hunt with and hang out with after the kill. I think we even transformed Paul into an LSU Tiger fan? If you are looking for some BIG deer and some great people give Paul a call. I will definitely go back.

• I was recently invited by a friend to join him at The Boomer Ranch on a guided turkey hunt. As this was my first turkey hunt and my first time at the Ranch, I really had no expectations but had some assumptions based on previous experiences hunting quail and pheasant at other ranches in Texas. Upon pulling up to the ranch, it was easy to tell that The Boomer Ranch was a first class operation. The property leading up to and around the cabin is well maintained, the bunkhouse was clean and comfortable and the full kitchen had all the necessities for cooking both the quick lunch or the elaborate dinner.
  Going out on our first hunt, I had the opportunity to see all the extensive work that has been put into this ranch to insure a quality hunt, be that turkey in the spring or deer in the fall. The stands were all well maintained and the blinds were well built and meticulously camouflaged with natural materials from the ranch. Beyond the obvious work put into the ranch, it is clear Paul(Owner/Operator) does his homework before taking hunters out on the grounds. He studies the wildlife to gain an understanding of their patterns and where the best location might be to hunt at the time. In addition to the work that Paul puts into every hunt, he has also partnered with some great hunting guides. Our turkey guide was as professional as he was skillful. I can’t say if this is any kind of record, but with Paul’s research of turkeys most recent patterns and our Guide’s exceptional skill at calling, we were on a group of two toms and a few hens almost immediately after reaching our blind. We harvested our first turkey within the first 10 minutes, A 20 lb. tom with a 10 1/2+” beard. A mere 40 minutes later, after retiring to a deer stand to avoid some spring flash storms, our Guide called in a second group of birds with two 19+ lb. toms. Within 5 minutes of calling the group we harvested our second turkey of the night…a 19.8 lb. tom with a 10′ beard, a very successful hunt all within an hour of leaving the cabin. Saturday morning’s hunt may not have broken the 10 min record(record for us at least) but it was every bit as successful as our Friday hunt, with the third member of our party harvesting a nice 19.3 lb. tom.
  We were lucky enough that the winds from the cold front that moved in the night before calmed down as the temperature remained in the mid to high 30’s(a nice cold front for April). This provided the perfect environment to utilize the fire pit while swapping stories over a roaring fire. During the entire weekend, Paul was a very attentive and gracious host, tending to whatever needs we may have had.
  In all, if one is looking for the next place to take their trophy deer or turkey, The Boomer Ranch should be a top consideration.

• What an unbelievable experience Paul(Owner and Guide) and The Boomer Ranch have given to me and my son. Thank You! To anyone considering going to The Boomer Ranch, trust me, the hospitality, the accommodations, and the hunting is some of the best I have experienced. The weather was terrible on the drive in and we were about three hours later than we expected. We arrived there almost at midnight and Paul was at the gate waiting for us. The next morning the weather was less than ideal but Paul never gave up! This man has one goal, and that is to get you what you came there to get. After many hours of hunting, my thirteen year old son harvested his first turkey. It was one of the best guided hunting experiences that I have been on. We have left The Boomer Ranch with a great memory and a new friend in Paul. Thank you Paul for the unbelievable trip to Texas.

• Hunted The Boomer Ranch the weekend of 12-2, 3, 4 2016. Really enjoyed myself. Seen plenty of deer of all sizes. If a person is looking for a place to get away, relax, and shoot a deer of your choice, this is THE place to go. Will go back in 2017. Thanks.

• I’d like to take this opportunity to say “howdy” to all who read this letter, and then send my praise to Paul Madura and his operations at the Boomer Ranch. First, a quick introduction of my family; my wife and I are Blessed to have two wonderful sons, both were in college (away from home) during this past hunting season. We raised our sons hunting, fishing and enjoying outdoors, but when they went to college the deer lease payments gave way to tuition, books, and other college related expenses. We value family time and love being together every chance we can, and we still love the thrill of watching and harvesting deer.
  I contacted Paul and set up a late season doe and spike hunt for my wife, sons and myself. After meeting Paul, no question, he is one of the most gracious men I have ever met – and my entire family agrees! The Boomer Ranch accommodations are wonderful too. The fire ring in the center of the lawn was perfect for “solving world problems” while my family enjoyed time together and caught up on the past school semester. I can’t adequately express the great time we had talking to our sons, while watching stars that we never see while living in San Antonio. We invited Paul to join us and together we had great conversation, and for once I didn’t over cook the steaks and chicken we brought for BBQ.
  The deer stands and hunting arrangements were perfect, each blind had ample clear lanes and shots around 100 yards, or longer – all depending on your shooting skill. The harvest was secondary to the time together and the experience. Everything about this entire trip was outstanding, Paul’s company, the house, the game we took, the deer cleaning and storage facilities, the family getting together, and the bucks. OMG does Paul have some super white tailed bucks! I hunted south Texas, near Batesville, Tx for 11 years, Paul’s trophy’s are as gorgeous as those we saw (alive and harvested) in south Texas.
  Whether you are after the trophy of a lifetime, or want to spend quality time with your friends and family – or both – the Boomer Ranch and Paul Madura, are a win-win for everyone. Thank you Paul for a wonderful time, can’t wait to see and hunt with you again.

• Thank you Boomer Ranch for a very relaxing, but Heart Beating time. The atmosphere and land are beautiful. The cabin is very nice and spotless. The front porch view of the oat patch at dusk and dawn is breathtaking. The fire pit and chairs were ready when we showed up. The driveway and roads stayed in good shape even though it rained the whole time.

  I had a wonderful relaxing time. My Guide put me on the biggest and heaviest deer that I EVER SHOT. I own my own company and this year I needed to go somewhere to take a break and enjoy myself. This hunt was so good that I booked another hunt for next year and would advise anybody else to experience this fabulous Boomer Ranch.

• I recently grabbed the opportunity for an early hunt on the Boomer Ranch in Lampasas, Texas. I was only interested in taking a doe home at this point mainly for the meat. I am not an avid deer hunter but looked forward to the experience as I have had an opportunity to know the ranch owner, Paul, for many years and have spent some great moments on the Ranch in previous visits.

  The Boomer Ranch has great accommodations for overnight stay offering a pure relaxing experience. The ranch is incredibly clean and organized and just makes the trip worthwhile. On my recent hunt with Paul, I experienced seeing a great herd of deer including healthy doe and large bucks. On all of my previous visits, I have encountered seeing large flocks of turkey. I have not been turkey hunting yet, but plan on doing this in the spring. Paul is a great host and Guide and will ensure you enjoy every minute. Whether you are an avid deer hunter or less experienced like me, I guarantee you will not be disappointed in this excellent Central Texas adventure.

• The number of Rio Grande Turkeys at the Boomer Ranch is just stupid. The night before the hunt I sat with Paul outside the Ranch House. We watched turkey after turkey work their way toward the roosting area. A very conservative guess would be 30 plus birds. As Paul watches his birds on a regular basis he has their patterns down. He set me up at a bottle neck the next morning, where I waited in the dark, listening to gobble after gobble from the roosting area some two hundred yards away. At day break they poured into the meadow. Three Toms with hens and four more Toms scattered around them trying to call the girls away. It did not take a lot of effort to bring one of the Toms to my decoys. My Tom had a thin 9 inch beard and was probably the smallest beard of the surviving 6 Toms. By noon my hunt was over with the Tom and a Jake. If someone is looking to check a Rio off their list I would give Paul a call.

   

• The Boomer Ranch is an Outdoorsman’s paradise. The pictures you see on the website don’t do justice to the property and the exceptional game management. In late October 2016, I spent two days on the ranch and viewed numerous once-in-a-lifetime trophy bucks and mature turkeys. Most memorable was sitting in a comfortable blind and witnessing a 19-pointer and 17-pointer do battle. The noise of antlers crashing together and the resulting dust from the field was phenomenal as these two BIG BOYS fought for dominance. And they were not alone, as they were in the company of many other high-quality bucks. Some lucky hunters are going to be very happy harvesting from the Boomer Ranch herd.

  The ranch itself is spectacular with more than adequate lodging, 5 well-placed blinds, a beautiful stream through the middle, and just an overall picturesque get away from it all feel. And it’s not 10 minutes outside Lampasas should you want to go into town, but…you won’t want to leave once here.

   

• I have been hunting for 40+ years, I have been to dozens and dozens of game ranches over the years. Paul and Richard have a beautiful ranch and great operation at the Boomer Ranch. The Whitetail buck quality is stunning, the accommodations are quite comfortable (nice and clean) and my overall experience was top notch.

  I will be going back to the Boomer. It can be a tricky thing, to pick out a game ranch, but give Paul a call, email and talk to him, you’ll be glad you did. The Boomer Ranch was everything they said it would be.

  Thanks Richard, Thanks Paul. We’ll see you in the future.

• We had the pleasure of going on a guided turkey hunt w Paul in May of 2017. Paul had been scouting before our trip and set up a perfect, natural blind along the side of a hill inside a cedar and mesquite tree that had grown together.  It was the perfect cover and proved to be the perfect hunting spot.

  We saw numerous hens and deer before Paul called up our first mature gobbler that was within 15 yards. It took about another 45 minutes before Paul had called up another great set of gobblers and we were both able to get the great turkeys we had been hoping to see.

  Even though we both got our birds on our first hunt Paul continued to be a great host and took us out the next morning to watch deer and more turkey. He took the time to drive us around the Ranch and show us all the beautiful scenery.

  The accommodations were spacious, comfortable and very clean. The Ranch house has plenty of room for numerous hunters and the kitchen had everything needed to prepare our meals. The front porch is super spacious and has a gas grill and smoker that were all in great shape and helped us cook our meals. Great fire pit in front for relaxing at night and enjoying the stars.

  Overall it was a great trip and we would both highly recommend The Boomer Ranch for anyone interested in a great hunt.

   

• My first trip Boomer Ranch was in April 2016 for a Spring Turkey hunt with my friend and client. We were Paul’s first turkey hunters since he bought the ranch. Aaron,a very experienced guide and world class turkey caller, put my friend on a monster bird about 45 minutes into the first morning’shunt. I got on mybird right before nightfall on the evening’s hunt. Even with a very “comical shooting position”, Aaron called that big Tom in close and I was able to dispatch him in short order! It was great day and two good birds within a few hours of each other! If you enjoy turkey hunting, you need to come to Boomer.
  As for the ranch itself, it is beautiful. The accommodations were clean and spacious and the kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals including several grills outside to cook your steaks. Sitting outside at night at the fire pit, in the clean country air with a cold drink is a great way to cap off the evening. Honestly, I would recommend the Boomer Ranch to anyone looking for a good hunt in a very relaxed atmosphere.

  Thanks Paul for a great hunt!

• My neighbor is an experienced hunter and I was filling the novice role. This was my first deer hunt so naturally I was a little nervous. Fortunately, Paul and our guide, Richard, were extremely helpful and patient. They both are very knowledgeable and more than willing to share. They helped me settle in and have an unforgettable time. My neighbor got a nice, healthy 9 point buck. I was there to shoot a doe, but was fortunate enough to get a little larger spike.

  As for the ranch itself, it was fantastic. The accommodations were clean and spacious and the kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals. Sitting outside at night at the fire pit, looking at the stars and hearing the nearby creek was a great way to relax. Honestly, I would recommend spending time at Boomer Ranch even if you weren’t a hunter.

  Looking forward to my next trip to Boomer Ranch!

• I spent some time with Boomer Ranch owner, Paul touring the Boomer Ranch acreage recently.
  I found it to be a beautiful ranch with comfortable facilities. It has exciting wildlife within its borders
  Plenty of whitetail deer and turkey with some nice quality of both bucks and gobblers to challenge serious hunters. I think this would definitely be a ranch where you can enjoy the edge of the Texas Hill Country while knowing a good trophy could be just over the next hill or on the other side of the gorgeous creek running through the ranch. Give the Boomer Ranch a try!

• The first trip I made to the Boomer Ranch was for a deer hunt in 2015. My neighbor and I were the second and third hunters to stay at the ranch after it opened. It’s a great camp with a comfortable fully stocked ranch house on some beautiful land in Lampasas County. Paul is an excellent ranch manager and host, and we had a great guide(Richard) who knew the ranch and the deer herd well. I was able to harvest a healthy 9 point management buck that scored 136. My neighbor shot his first deer, a really nice spike, the following morning. The quality and variety of deer are impressive. We’ll definitely be back for more hunts, and I’d recommend this ranch to any hunter, novice or expert.

  The second trip I made to the Boomer Ranch was for a turkey hunt. It was the inaugural, and we were fortunate enough to take the first and second Toms since Paul bought the place. I saw all the turkey for the first time on our deer hunt in 2015. I told Paul, you have to let people hunt turkey here; there were just too many of them not to offer that. So he put together a hunt for a fellow hunter and me. Again, a very experienced guide and caller(Aaron) put me on a monster bird about 45 minutes into the hunt. My buddy got the second turkey right before nightfall. Great day and two great birds within hours of each other! If you enjoy turkey hunting, you need to come to this ranch.

• The Boomer Ranch is a wildlife sanctuary that provides many opportunities and a relaxing setting for the both the hunter and outdoor enthusiast. The Boomer Ranch is the epitome of employed productive wildlife practices which are apparent throughout the property with beautiful habitat and abundant game. I went to the Boomer Ranch in December 2015 with my neighbor. We had a great time and would recommend it to anyone looking for a successful hunt, experienced hunter or novice.
