This thread ran longer than I thought.. I feel the need to clarify some things.

Although I will not disagree that the t.v. show is relatively slow and boring for us bowhunters.. I must make some points about the Tecomonte ranch that are important to modern day hunting as a whole since many of our members have little awareness to what the tecomate ranch is.

It's basically a ranch owned by the founder of the tecomate seed company. His name escapes me but I want to say it's Gary (something). They do have many food plots and produce some whopper bucks. But even more importantly is the size of the bodies of the deer on this ranch. While much of Texas produces relatively smaller deer (compared to the midwest) the deer of the Tecomate ranch, along with a healthy diet, are much larger just in shear weight.. let alone antler size. The importance of the ranch has been very influential on modern deer hunting, whitetail management, whietail biology, and of course food plot management. Many of the most noted "whitetail experts" and biologists have studied (and hunted) at this ranch. In fact, many.. many magazine articles that you will read on whitetail and behavior come from this very ranch. For what it is.. it is an important part of whitetail research today.

This ranch also was one of the pioneers on research of a healthy 1:1 buck doe ratio which many on this forum understand ooohh sooo well.

Like I said.. yeah it's a pretty dull show for us bowhunters. But the ranch has had some importance on the way most of us "manage" or try to manage our own deer herd.
