Texas River Bottom Whitetail Deer Hunt
SaltFork Hunts


Linda25002The Saltfork River hunting areas have a one buck and two doe limit with no buck to be taken with less than 8 points that extend beyond the ears. Regulations and hunting quotas are set by the State of Texas and by the ranch owner. Some of our areas have a few mule deer but we do not have enough to justify offering a mule deer hunt at this time. Hunters are encouraged to help us control predators such as coyotes, bobcats and feral hogs. We do not hunt turkey or quail during our fall deer hunting season in order to minimize the disturbance to the deer population. Saltfork Hunts does not offer hunting after mid December so that the secondary rut can take place with the deer under no hunting stress.

Guides will assist hunters in locating stands and blinds as well as retrieving and field dressing harvested deer. Guides do not accompany hunters during the hunt or restrict the selection of which deer to shoot. We ask that each hunter harvest their buck according to their own guidelines as to what a trophy deer means to them. Saltfork offers a free range, fair chase hunting experience as we have restricted use of corn feeders and do not employ high fence areas that limit deer travel. The 2007 season will include areas which have in the past been in CRP but have now been prepared as food plots with winter wheat and rye. This should further increase the amount of available deer on the river.

The cost of a five day River Bottom hunt is $1800 with a non refundable $900 deposit due at the time of booking. The maximum number of hunters per week for the River hunt will be set at ten; this will create the best possible chance for every hunter to harvest a prime Texas Whitetail. Hunters will be scheduled to arrive a day prior to the actual hunt so that guides can familiarize them with the ranch terrain and the procedures for the hunt. All hunts start at first legal shooting light the following morning. All hunts will begin on Monday and end on Friday with the exception of opening week.
 A GPS would be a good item to include for your hunt as it will help you find stand locations with a high degree of accuracy. Other helpful items include a range finder and waterproof boots of at least knee length. Weather is variable at this time of year in the panhandle so check the forecast for your hunting week by using the ZIP Code 79095.
 Lodging can be arranged at the Cherokee Inn at 1-806-447-2508.  There is a RV park available and Camper parking with some rooms that can be arranged at the Baptist camp across from the Ranch. Visit www.panfork.org The nearest airports are in Amarillo (90 miles) and Oklahoma City ( 160 miles). Both airports offer rental vehicles but be aware of the need to get one with good ground clearance. The current cost of an out-of- state license is $315.00.
