Typical deer hunting packages in Texas include the following:

-with advance notice additional hunting days might be possible for an additional charge per each day
Important! Any shot hit(Guide determines) that does not bring down the buck and allow us to locate him will be considered a harvested buck, even if the buck is never found. Thus, the importance of being sighted in properly and taking a good shot.

Deer hunting Packages in Texas-Harvest Scoring/Pricing Process(this applies to all bucks scoring under 200)
…our deer hunting package in Texas harvest scoring process is based upon gross scoring without any deductions
…via many game camera pictures and advice from an expert Whitetail breeder and biologist, we estimate an initial approximate score and price range for every buck that allows us to see him on camera(note: we may not be able to see and score all the bucks that will actually be available for harvesting)
…these scores may vary once the bucks are actually harvested(higher or lower)
…when booking a deer hunting package in Texas, each hunter will be asked what range of scoring(10 point spread) they are wanting to hunt(for example 150-160). When you arrive at the ranch to hunt, your Guide will do his best to find you a harvestable buck within that range. Once you harvest a buck, it will be brought back to camp for scoring. If it’s necessary to score a buck twice, the actual score will be the average of the two.
THE BOOMER RANCH ALWAYS FAIR PRICING POLICY…If the buck scores higher than the score/price you signed up for, you will not pay any more than that, even if we underestimated the buck score.-Example…a hunter signs up for a 165 scoring buck and corresponding price. However, after harvesting, the final score is actually 170. He will only pay for a score of 165.
If the buck scores lower than the specified range, the hunter will only pay the lower scored price.-Example…a hunter signs up for a 165 scoring buck and, after harvesting, the actual score is 160. He will only pay for a score of 160.
The Boomer Ranch Always Fair Pricing Policy is a WIN-WIN FOR EVERY HUNTER as it protects them on both an overestimated and an underestimated score.
…after booking a deer hunting package in Texas, if a hunter would like to upgrade his range of scoring to harvest, that request will be subject to availability and the upgrade would cost more $
…sometimes a hunter will want to upgrade his range of harvest once he is in the blind and sees a buck that really interests him. Again, that request is subject to availability and, if granted, the price of the buck will be higher
***IMPORTANT!!! If a hunter shoots a buck(Guide determines) but does not make a good enough shot to bring him down and locate him, he will be charged the original scored price for that buck, regardless whether we find him or not. If at a later date the carcass of the buck is found, we will save the horns to be picked up by the hunter.
200 Class Whitetail Bucks(scoring and pricing process)
…there will be an initial estimated score provided
…estimated pricing will be made on that score along with a MAX PRICE LIMIT. This insures that the hunter knows that this is the most he’ll pay for his chosen buck.(No surprises)
…once harvested, buck will be scored. Actual price will be based on actual score, unless the score exceeds the max price limit that was provided. Max price limit is the most the hunter will pay.
Whitetail Buck Refunds
Inclement weather, especially strong storms, can greatly contribute to an unsuccessful hunt.
Also, despite your Guide’s best efforts, if no desired bucks are able to be brought within harvesting range for the entire hunt, then you will be refunded a BRC(Boomer Ranch Credit), which are your entire deposits except for a $600 fee(plus meal charge if applicable) which covers basic Ranch expenses incurred.
This BRC can be used towards any future WT deer hunting packages in Texas or Rio Grande turkey hunt. The BRC remains on file at the Ranch, and you will receive a receipt. There is no expiration on this BRC.
All deer hunting packages in Texas refunds after August 1, 2024 are issued in BRC’s, not cash.
We will attempt to rebook you in the current season if you so desire and if schedules permits(Note: since we are MLD managed, our WT deer season is expanded well beyond the typical General Season, ending on February 23, 2025.
