Bad management at Ford Ranch
I hunt a small farm next to the Ford ranch. I had a bad experience with a person from the ford ranch running property boundary fence lines at peak hunting times. At 715 am and 515 pm they would make a pass along the property line to harass us and drive the deer off. I would be upset if I was hunting by myself, but I was really upset because I took my two youngest children huntjng to try and get their first deer. I have a 7 and 5 y/o that I had to explain to why someone would want to drive our deer off. I have been fighting cancer for the last two years and my prognosis doesn't look that great. I was trying to make great memories with my children only to be ruined by the ford ranch. Several years ago I shot a decent buck that ran 150 yds jumped the fence and laid dead 5 ft into the ford ranch property. I called and spoke with a nice lady saying she would send a ranch hand to retrieve the deer. Ten minutes later Mr. Forrest Armke called back saying no one was gonna get my deer for me and I wasn't allowed to go on their property to retrieve the deer. I told them they could have the deer I didn't want it to go to waste. He informed me he wasn't concerned about the deer and in no way was I to be allowed on their property and hung up. So beware if you plan on making a hunt on the Ford Ranch in Melvin Texas what kind if ranch manager he really is.

Wyoming Hunting Information
Wyoming is a great state for hunters! It offers a wide variety of good big game, turkey, small game, upland and predator hunting.
Kansas Hunting Information
Kansas is one of the top producing monster whitetail buck states in the country. It also has some excellent turkey hunting and a few big mule deer in the western part of the state. Kansas has an excellent reputation as a top notch destination for upland birds. It has excellent populations of pheasant and quail due to the vast expanse of suitable prairie and grassland type habitat.
Manitoba Hunting Information
Manitoba is known as a top destination for avid waterfowl hunters. Huge flocks of ducks and geese can be found from the Arctic coast of Hudson Bay to the prairie potholes on the southern border of this Canadian province. There is no legal requirement for non-resident waterfowl hunters to use a guide, but many are available and a high percentage of non-Canadian hunters utilize them. In addition black bear, Canada moose and whitetails are hunted throughout the province.
