I hunt 2 or 3 times a year in brady on ranch rd 2028. You wont be disappointed in the numbers, but don't expect trophies. Unless hunting high fence with good management. I usually see 15-20 deer at a time at the feeders. Plenty of axis also. Only one pig killed in 15 years. They think it was livestock pig that got loose from heavy rain 5-6 years ago.

Some of the best sheer numbers of deer in the state. Like fishindude said dont expect trophies everywhere but there are some mixed in out that way.

Closer to the Brady mountians the bigger the deer get.
probely 2 to 4 deer in McCulloch County break the 160 mark every year

lohn area should have some really nice deer,lot of people are trying to manage that area so chances are that you could get 130+ i grew up there and the deer are very plentiful and horns are very nice

I guess it depends on what part of Texas you hunt in ....But yeah a 130-140 is a trophy to me and the reason i ask is that some reply's are saying don`t expect any trophy deer in that area but yes i would love to have a place to manage.....Trophy room well mine still under construction!!..Thanks Stick for your reply and thanks again to all others ...keep`um comm`in!!

I hunt a few miles south of brady, like everyone says there are plenty of deer. I have never seen an exotic on a low fence area south of town, but i have seen a few axis on 377 just north of the brady airport. South of town, we are covered up with hogs.
We have nice bucks, but i have not seen anything over 130 in the 6 years i have been hunting there. We only shoot 10 pt or better that appear to be over 4 yrs, so i watch a lot of deer through out the year.
If you can get on a lease in that general area for a decent price i would.
I'm thankful for the things i have and all the things i don't

Brady has great genetics.. Just like any where else.. manage for age and you get big deer. Hot spots are Salt Gap-Cow Gap and voca As far as no trophies Jacboy's feed See for yourself

I share a fence with them I have seen some of their hunts on the outdoor channel and they are loaded with awesome deer! You are a blessed man to neighbor them JGiles. I always figured they were high fenced. I would hunt near Brady if I had the opportunity lets put it that way.

If you scroll though jocby's picutes you will find a flier for protien... now that ranch is high fenced... 8k but its all native genetics. Don't think there is a place in tx that has bad genetics... build it and they will come Hunting is what you make of it. But yes I am blessed and am extremely thankful

Thanks in advance, Shane I hunt about 2 miles south of the Colorado, about 4 miles East of 377. This will be my 14th year on the lease. Awesome area, lots of Deer and Hogs. On an average, you should get a chance at a good one at least once a year, for comparison. If ya want to get an idea on Deer density, Drive those county roads at night

A good friend of mine has a ranch near Lohn. He has some really nice deer. The genetics are good in that area.

I have 3 ranches in the general area. 1 in Salt Gap, 1 in Melvin and one between Melvin and Eden. Dont let the wide open land fool you there are some awesome deer in that area. I cut through 765 through Lohn sometimes to go to Salt Gap if Im running late, there is some BA land through there. I'll be down there this weekend working on bow blinds. Good Luck!! They call it black dirt out there but it is nothing like North Tx black dirt!! Most of the crops in that areas are cotton, oats, wheat and sorghum grasses. (some maise)
