Likely depends on the property hunting pressure and management.

But yes it is known for some good deer.

I would head down there as soon as they ask you to go, no questions asked.

My buddy has 1000ac and he has hunted there for his whole life. In his area the have tons of does, but very few quality bucks. Ill post a pic of his best buck if I can find it. I would love to go down there and stuff my freezer full of meat though. Lots of deer apparently.

depends on the property.

in the right place, it will produce big deer and a lot of deer.


in the wrong place, it will be a waste of time.

only one way to find out

Just saw your user name. You like bass there is always falcon lake, with some of the best bass fishing any where.

As a bonus you can go to the cleaning station and watch the locals filet those big girls, that can be a shock to serious bass fisherman. You never know about that country, it is hit and miss, just remember where you are and be alert.

You're probably right on that one, was giving my older brother the benefit of the doubt. I think that one was a 3.5 yo 11pt., probably 135-140 or so..He shoots what he likes..

Re: Does Zapata have big Deer? - 08/23/13 05:38 PM

That main beam is awesome. Are those free range?

Re: Does Zapata have big Deer? - 08/23/13 05:50 PM

Yes, all free range..Our place is within a few miles of the East ranch and different pastures of the Bruni..
