"Serving Hunters' & Landowners' Needs Since 1987"

May 21, 2019

Hold my Dr. Pepper and watch this! That seems to be one ideation that somewhat defines how our WSI world has been rocking along for several months. For certain, there has been no "off-season" thus far in 2019, and by the looks of things, the only "slow" months that we will likely have this year are July and early August. We have conducted well over 225 hunts since the first of the year, the majority of those being big-game type species, with the balance being made up of spring turkey hunts. The photos contained in the WSI Play by Play only represent a fraction of what our clients have taken over the last 2 months, but this will allow you a look into our recent world. It's been a great run, but I'll admit I'm probably feeling a bit like Forrest Gump when he stopped running and turned and looked over his assembly of followers and exclaimed, "I'm pretty tired. I think I'll go home now." Don't get me wrong, we are extremely thankful for the strong business support, but indeed, I'm ready for a breather....it's been non-stop since early August of last year.
 
As many of you know, San Angelo has been in the news lately due to the weather we've received, most specifically with some tornado and wind damage to this area of the state. I greatly appreciate those who checked in on us. All is good here. While some folks were not so fortunate and have received some structural damage to houses and buildings, many of us were blessed to simply receive the rains. And speaking of rains, many areas of the state are simply in outstanding shape and have been for several months. The last time we saw fall/winter/spring and early summer conditions bridged like this was the late 2009 and 2010 period, with 2010 being the best over-all hunting season for this part of the world that we've seen during the last 10-15 year span. We should have a fabulous antler growing season in many areas of the state and our turkey and quail nesting success will likely be back on track this year. So, we are thankful for the continued abundant rainfall, the lush range conditions, and the generous replenishment to our local reservoirs.
 
We still have a few whitetail hunts available for this fall, as well as plenty availability for nilgai antelope, limited openings for aoudad sheep, and opportunities for a few other exotics. So drop us a line or give us a shout if you'd like to discuss options.

 
Cheers,

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS


" Hey Greg, Jackie Murphy did a terrific job guiding my nilgai hunt at Yuturria last week.  His familiarity with the ranch really paid off when we had five bulls on the far side of a field and no way to close the gap without being seen.  He was able to back out of where we were and drive to a point where we could dismount and make our way through dense cover close to the field edge.  We were able to low crawl through the brush and when we could finally see through it, the nilgai were right in front of us, as close as 40 yards.  I was able to lay prone and shoot through an opening in the brush the size of my hat.  Shot a nice bull through both shoulders with my .375 H&H and that was that.  Cooks and food were awesome and the accommodations very comfortable.  I'd like to hunt with Jackie again."

"Just a quick note to let you know that Matt and his wife and me and my wife very much enjoyed ourselves this weekend at La Chata.  Although Matt took money off of me (fastest kill and longest horns), I did beat him on body size.  It was HOT, but Don and Peter were true professionals and worked hard to put us on bulls efficiently and effectively.  I'm already looking forward to hunting with you guys again when the weather cools down a little."

" Once again, our 3rd trip with Wildlife Systems was a great success.  This was by far the best trip of the 3 just because this year the trophy quality of turkeys was exceptional! 
 
We were amazed the  by all the birds gobbling around our blinds as the sun came up...it was great to be back in Texas again. We all went on to fill our tags over the next couple of days. This was one of my top 5 turkey hunts of all time. 
 
Once again, we received exceptional service and care from your staff. Don and Randy kept us on the birds no doubt and as always were there to exceed our expectations. 

 Jason kept us well fed and we enjoyed all his meals. 
 
I will likely be contacting you to rebook this hunt for next season within 30 days. Thank you."

"Good morning Greg and Jennifer:
 
Sheri and I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our Nilgai hunt at the Yturria Ranch this past weekend.   All was amazing.  
 
That ranch is worth what we paid just to see and experience.   Peter and John were terrific hosts.   John is a great guide and fun to hunt with.  We hope to hunt with him again at some point in the future.    Daniel and his group did a super job of feeding us.  I think Sheri and I both put on weight over the weekend.   It was an all-around great trip that we hope to do again in the future. 
 
We are glad to have discovered you all and hope to hunt with you frequently over the years."
