Texas Turkey Hunts


Turkey season is just around the corner, and everyone at 5 Star is preparing for what should be another great gobbler busting month! To intensify the hunting we picked up two new ranches that are family owned and have never been commercially hunted. In fact they have had very little family hunting! We have reached another goal, we’ve gathered more land than what we have clients! Don’t get me wrong, our client number’s are not down in fact we’re up in spring hunters, we just always want to make sure our clients tag out every year no matter the conditions. This results in our clients being very satisfied and staying in a stress free camp!

We’ve added a bonus to our 5 Star 2009 Turkey hunts! We will have Heritage Outdoors in affiliation with Dual Shot Outdoors spending the spring with us gathering valuable footage for upcoming TV shows (Versus & the Pursuit Channel) and DVDs. They’ll be capturing 5 Star Outfitters hunting stories throughout the season and filming our clients in every day hunting situations!

With saying all that lets not forget our spring exotic hunts. Most of our turkey hunts are turkey/exotic combo hunts. Exotics can be hunted year round, so continue to check out our exotic hunt specials, or give us a call!

2008 Texas Whitetail and Exotic Review

The 2008 fall season was an unforgettable year! Even with the economic doubts, 5 Star Outfitters held strong with a 35% over all growth. The 5 Star Team prides themselves in customer service, dedication, determination, and class…. and it shows! You have a choice in the hunting industry and we want to be at the top of your list. Our goal is not to be the biggest hunting operation in Texas. Our goal is to be a premier hunting destination that consistently produces quality trophy animals, accommodations, and service for our clients. Our 85% repeat clientele is a testimony to our dedication!

Of the 50+ deer we killed this year, 25 of them scored above 150 B&C. Our four largest deer scored well over 200 B&C – with the two largest deer scoring 225 3/8 and 252 4/8 B&C. Here’s the kicker - the 252 4/8 monarch will go down in the record books as the largest deer ever killed in Texas with a bow as well as the largest whitetail recorded in 2008. Feel free to view this incredible deer leading Texas’s largest whitetail contest @ www.loscazadores.com. The 2009 forecast should have us harvesting 30+ deer scoring over 150 with the potential of harvesting 10 deer over 200 B&C!

We also harvested over 35 trophy exotics. Most of the exotics killed were in the gold medal class, and several of these trophies will score high in the record books. One of our largest trophy exotics is now the #1 Scimitar Horned Oryx bull that officially scored 114. We also killed a red stag that scored a whopping 442 which should be the largest stag harvest in 2008 and will be in the top 3 ever killed in Texas.

The 5 Star Team would like to give a special THANK YOU to all of our clients – you’re the reason for our success!!
