This past weekend’s hunt closes out the 2009 whitetail season for 5 Star. Although we harvest 1 of the three trophy deer, we still managed to have a great time, which is extremely easy to do with Randy, Gary, and Mitchell in camp.Mitchell was the lucky one who harvested the 159 6/8 flyer buck on the second day of the hunt. It’s not that we didn’t see plenty of mature deer; Gary and Randy were looking for deer over 170, and to say we hunted hard for this quality of deer on the 9,000 acre south Texas ranch is an understatement. We rattled in around 45 bucks in two days….and the crazy thing about that is the rut is in full swing mid December. You can’t kill a giant whitetail sitting in the lodge you have to go out and bet the brush and try to make things happen. We had several close call sat the caliber of deer we were hunting but for one reason or another it just didn’t happen for us. The last morning of the hunt it felt like the good lord was shining down on Randy and I. The last hour of his hunt we came very close in smacking two deer over 170, one of which was a main frame 12 point. Thanks again Randy, Gary and Mitchell for a great hunt!!! We’ll see y'all next year!Wednesday, February 3, 2010

San Miguel Outdoors Out of Business??
Apparently due to the economical downfall San Miguel Outdoors is closing its doors.
We truly hate to see any business close, especially a fellow outfitter. Our thoughts are certainly with the Gardner family and their team.
The following is from huntingreport.com.
In an e-mail I received today from San Miguel's president Mike Gardner, he confirms that the company has stopped operating, although he does not address the status of clients' bookings. His e-mail reads, "San Miguel Outdoors, Inc., has not been able to continue its operations due to current economic conditions and has ceased doing business. We apologize for any inconvenience. All communications should be directed to: SMO INC., PO BOX 341478, Austin, Texas 78734." Today, San Miguel Outdoors' former web site address leads to a site for San Miguel Ranch, a whitetail hunting operation in Uvalde, Texas, that is also operated by Gardner.
Representing dozens of hunting operations around the world, San Miguel's closure is expected to affect a substantial number of clients and outfitters. Already, Texas-based attorney Ryan Hammit contacted me, alleging that San Miguel Outdoors owes his Zimbabwean client more than $150,000 paid to the agency by clients for past and future safaris. I'm hearing other operators have gone unpaid as well. I've also heard from a Hunting Report subscriber who says he is out a total of $15,000 in payments sent to San Miguel Outdoors that were never forwarded to his hunt operators... "
