Overall Impression: FAIR
I booked this hunt through Wade Derby at CrossHair Consulting. The hunt was listed as a special or closeout at a reduced rate. For the money I paid, the hunt was satisfactory, but it would have been a big disappointment at the normal price of (3-Day @$2250) and (5-day @$2750). I just did not see the deer that one would expect to see in South Texas. I saw @ 15 does and @ 7 young bucks during my two day hunt. I killed a young 8 -pointer and a doe, so my particular hunt was a success. My fee was $250 daily with a $250 kill fee for a buck of my choice. It is my opinion that the outfitter has overhunted his property. His hunter success ratio is probably less than 30% based upon my conversations with him, and of course my hunt with him.
