MCLEAN  BOWMAN RANCH is a historic ranch having been in the continuous operation by the same family since the 1930’s. Here you can step back in time and enjoy the decades old tradition of hunting the South Texas mesquite thickets and river bottoms that are so vast and mysterious that even the guides don’t always know what to expect.

The 2008 package will be a 4 day hunt for $3,000.00, which includes a buck scoring up to 135 gross B&C score, and a second buck scoring under 120 gross B&C score if available. Two does, two hogs, and 1 javelina are included in this package. There may also be a chance at a third buck from our ranch shoot off the list prices. Hunters wishing to go over the 135 gross B&C score will have Trophy Fees by the inch added to the base price of their hunt.

The MCLEAN BOWMAN RANCH has been under an intense management program for over 25 years. We have also been under a LEVEL 3 MLD PERMIT for the last 7 years. This means we tag all deer taken on the ranch with MLD PERMITS. You do not need to use your tags from your hunting license, just have a valid hunting license when you show up at the ranch. We specialize in-group hunting of up to (8) hunters at one time, for people who would like to hunt together.

All hunts include food, lodging and guiding. There will be 2 hunters per guide on rifle hunts, unless other arrangements are made before the hunt to be one on one. There is an extra charge of $150.00 a day for this option. A rifle and bow hunter will have one guide, but two bow hunters will have to take the one on one option and split up with two guides with the extra $150.00 a day for the extra guide. Another unique feature we offer on a limited basis is by paying the extra fee for one on one guiding ($150.00 a day) a hunter may bring with them on their hunt one of their children  (between 8 and 15 years of age) at no additional charge to their package.The youth is encouraged to hunt the low-end buck but not the trophy buck.

In regard to the judging of score, hunters may request opinions from the guides, but in general a hunter is expected to pay for what he shot. A wounded buck (blood, bone, or meat) is considered to be a dead buck and will be charged accordingly as though it was harvested. The guides will determine the score. Although the outcome of a hunt is always unknown, especially on a large property like Mclean Bowman Ranch, we have managed to produce a 100% harvest rate for all hunters who have shot or passed up their bucks, throughout the 20 years we have operating a commercial hunting business.
