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.

We are a hunting organization specializing in hunts for experienced hunters
looking for large, free roaming bucks on large acreage. We cater to groups
of eight hunters or individuals. We are located in Dimmit County, which
is one of the best counties in the Golden Triangle of South Texas for
large whitetail bucks. This year we will be offering to discerning hunters
desiring excellent accommodations, food and camaraderie, the MCLEAN
BOWMAN TROPHY HUNT PACKAGE.
The
2009 package will be a 4 1/2 day hunt for $3,150.00, 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.
BASE PRICE OF PACKAGE HUNT: $3,150.00

180 to whatever is $500.00 an inch.
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, guiding and all animal capeing,skinning
and quartering. 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.
MCLEAN BOWMAN
RANCH adheres to the following reasonable rules and policies.
If the hunter passes on a buck in his or her category and does not find
another buck, then the passed up buck becomes the package hunt 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. All decisions related to the hunt are made by
the guide are final.
We take the aging of bucks very seriously, meaning that a buck has to
be first judged by the guide to be eligible.
BOOKING PROCEDURES & POLICIES
