I appreciate the hospitality Rick and Tammy provide to the hunters at Buffalo Mountain Ranch. Man, for the quality and quantity of animals that are there, the price is unbeatable. My brother in law and I had a great time on the ranch for our weekend stay. Getting the opportunity to meet Mr. Ledbetter and learning a little history of the ranch was a bonus. My hunts were great. There was never a dull moment in the stand. I bet I saw more deer in two days than I get to see hunting around Abilene. It was perfect timing in the middle of the rut which really helped make them move. I started off hunting a ground blind on the south side of my plot which was great for the north wind. Lots of deer poured into my spot that first night and next day. I was pumped. I knew it was only a matter of time before that big boy showed his face. The wind had changed on us, which meant I had to also, and thanks to Rick testing my tripod and cutting some branches on such short notice made my position perfect. And there he was …a nice 4 year old buck with my name on him. As I came to draw with my Tomcat by Bow Tech, I waited and waited forever until he stopped at 38 yards. I let it rip and in the explosion of deer going everywhere, I knew I got him. The expandable sniper broad head did its job. He did not make it 50 yards when he crashed. What a great hunt. I will be back soon. Thank you for a great time. What a great ranch! Elton Zuyus
