An Open Letter to All Hunters

Picture
Hunters & landowners share more than fence lines, we share responsibility for the wildlife that moves across them. While healthy habitat & rainfall shape the land, the real impact comes from the choices we make together.

Roosevelt Hunting Club was founded on a simple truth... hunters are the most capable stewards of wildlife. When neighbors work together, we create healthier herds, stronger habitat, and an outdoor legacy that endures.

Our mission is not to burden hunting with an abundance of new ideas, but to encourage working relationships between hunters. We welcome seasoned sportsmen and first time hunters, showing that stewardship matters far beyond our fence lines. Wildlife doesn't recognize property lines, and neither should our care for it.

​We invite you to join us in practicing healthy game management on your own place, talking through decisions with your hunting buddies & neighbors, and committing to a plan that benefits the range as a whole. The simple fact is, most hunting lands today are a fraction of the range wildlife depend on, but by working together we can achieve results far greater than any of us could alone.

Tall Tines,
Roosvelt Hunting Club

WHITETAIL MGMT PLAN

Texas Hill Country
  • 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.
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.
