TPWD MLDP PROGRAM

Wild Game Hunting near Fredericksburg, Texas

Ranch is under TPWD MLDP program, and although low fence, only has two neighbors.  The hunting on one of those neighbors is part of the lease and MLDP program.  The second neighbor’s ranch is lightly hunted.

Fall 2023 Helicopter Survey counted 170 Axis deer, 49 Whitetail bucks, 127 Whitetail bucks does and 46 Whitetail fawns.  Based on camera counts at pens, the helicopter survey count of Whitetail bucks was definitely on the low side.

We are looking for hunters that will be an asset to our MLDP program including early harvest of Whitetail Does and management bucks in October and letting 10+ point Whitetail bucks reach 6.5 years of age before harvesting.
