​LEAVING A LARGER LEGACY FOR THE GENERATIONS TO COME.

In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue ​to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen.”
-Theodore Roosevelt

An Open Letter to all Neighbors.

Even ideal weather & perfect habitat conditions cannot rectify poor game management decisions so a few area ranches have decided to publish our cooperative plan & encourage other area ranches to join in making this big buck country once again.

TPWD states that in the Edwards Plateau a deer's home range is 640 acres for most of the year, but recommends 1,000 acres to ensure management effectiveness. With those numbers it only takes a handful of hunters working together in an informal Co-Op to produce a quality deer herd in a relatively short amount of time.

Clearly habitat is a key component to a healthy deer herd, but this informal club is primarily focused on 4 easy to implement game management measures.

Get involved by sharing the Roosevelt Hunting Club plan with your neighbors, following us on social media, or sharing this website. Most research & information shared in our reference section is tailored to the Texas Hill Country, but the core principles are relevant anywhere.

​Whitetail Cooperative Plan.

  • We cull the oldest does first, preferably prior to the rut. It is the quickest & most effective way to turn over your genes.
  • Trophy bucks are 5 ½ or older with horns outside the ears.
  • We cull bucks at 3 ½, especially bucks with no brow tines.
  • We do take spikes to ease the burden on scarce resources.

And Here Is Why...

We developed our management plan based on the data below.
