Lincoln Ranch Bowhunting         Bowhunting Only Ranch           Bowhunting whitetail deer in South Texas is a hunt you don't want to miss. Bowhunting hogs and javelina offers an exciting experience that not every ranch can offer, combined with very comfortable accommodations. Archery hunting has been around the 'Brush Country' for 1000s of years so come carry on the tradition of hunting deer, feral hogs and javelina on the 'Lincoln'. Bowhunting hogs and whitetail in south Texas is quite the rush when experiencing the thorny brush, cactus and abundance of wildlife. We have been strictly an archery ranch for 35 years. Come enjoy an affordable bow hunt at the Lincoln ranch in fabulous south Texas!    News:  I'm dropping the trophy score from 140 to 130 this year. Must be at least 4-1/2 or older. You may shoot a doe in October or November but still not in December-January because of recovering from the drought.  I also simplified the hunting requirements.  See Info/Rates     2340 acres Available dates for deer 2023-2024 Available dates for hogs and javelina 2024   RAIN NEWS: 3-1/2" rain Aug 22, 2023 thanks to Tropical storm Harold 2" on Oct 5     Thank you for hunting with me over the last 36 years.   2023-2024 Harvest: Ben Ryder Mgmt '9'  4-1/2 yr 10-4-23 Danny Stark 4-1/2 year old mgmt. 8 11-3-23 Rudy Gonzalez 4-1/2 year old Management '8' buck 11-10-23 Jason Stone, Doe 11-17-23 Trophy Buck!!
