Terribly hot and dry conditions in June and July certainly stressed the wildlife on the Pitchfork Ranch.  We had virtually no juvenile quail surviving the harsh conditions of mid-summer.  The ranch received 13-15" of rainfall in September and October.  Habitat conditions are good.  Trophy deer are in good shape but seem to have lost 6-10" (compared to previous years) of mass and main beam length due to the extreme drought this summer.

The Pitchfork Ranch is 100% low-fenced with no protein feeders.  All rifle trophy deer hunts are spot-and-stalk.  This is a real hunting adventure.  All quail and other game birds are 100% wild.  No pen-raised critters here!!!!

Sorry if we missed photographing your group.  It wasn't intentional.  If you have a photo that you could send we will gladly post it here.
