The Whitetail Deer have started to herd up and move into their winter groups. We have many of the large bucks patterned once again and they move like clock work to their feeding areas. One of the herds has increased to around 200 deer, many of which are bucks. Over half of those bucks will make Pope and Young, while a few will make Boone and Crocket score.
Only a couple weeks left in the season, so if you haven't filled your tag, let us put you on a buck of a lifetime!
Step back in time to a land where Cowboys still roam the open range. A land where Native American’s hunted buffalo by the herds of 10,000+! Ride horseback down the wagon trails from the 1800’s. See a land that hasn’t changed much since the early settlers. Rolling Plains Adventures, home of the Black Leg Ranch, offers all inclusive world class hunting for pheasant, waterfowl, coyote, and deer as well as professionally guided fishing trips, western vacations, and more!

Late Season Pheasant Hunting
It is mid December and the snowfall is minimal. Pheasants have started grouping up and moving into their winter hot spots. Now is the time to hit the fields and chase these wild animals. Plenty of roosters around and the weather forecast looks nice for the rest of the season.

Another Successful Deer Season and BBD!
Rifle season this year has recently closed this past Sunday and was a huge success. One of the guys hunting at Rolling Plains Adventures harvested a buck that is currently leading the BIG buck contest this year. This buck is a perfect ten pointer with heavy mass, a wide spread, and really tall.
The deer was first spotted about a mile away from where we were glassing, so a stalk was planned. After about two hours of crawling/walking, we were within 75 yards of the big guy. He was laying down with 2 other bucks and a doe. It was hard to get a perfect shot with him laying down in the heavy cover, so we waited until he stood up. This lasted about an hour until the doe stood up and minutes later the buck followed. The sound of the bullet hitting the target was a dead giveaway that we had a BIG BUCK DOWN! We slowly walked up to the deer, one step at a time waiting for what we would find. I could only smile with excitement as one of our clients started jumping up and down with joy after he had seen what he harvested.
This was yet another great hunt that made it into the memory books. Congrats Lee on the monster buck of 2011!

Antler Growth at Rolling Plains Adventures
Went out scouting for buck groups yesterday and spotted one bachelor group of 5 bucks hanging together. All 5 deer had very impressive antler growth for this time of the year, so judging by the nutrition and moisture available, its going to be a great year for antler growth. The bucks were all eating on our clover plots, which is very high in protein. The new food plots will be an excellent source in the fall, which are where some of our deer stands are. Rolling Plains Adventures staff is sure excited about this falls season!

We have installed the 38 foot beam in the main lodge. It was a tough project, but it looks amazing. The food plots are also underway at the ranch. We have added several new plots along with the existing plots. The pheasants, ducks, deer, and all sorts of wildlife are going to love them!
