South Texas Guided Whitetail Deer Hunting Trips
Whitetail deer hunting at Mellon Creek Ranch is the ultimate hunters paradise. With over 110,000 acres to hunt we are fortunate enough to offer some of the most incredible whitetail hunting in south Texas. Mellon Creek Outfitters is located on the outskirts of Refugio Texas, just north east of Corpus Christi Texas. The terrain varies from bay front and prairieland to saltgrass, crop fields and thick brush, providing a diverse landscape for the whitetail to thrive. Because of our use of MLD permits we are able to offer an extended rifle hunting season from October to January.
Kinds of Guided Whitetail Deer Hunts We Offer
Meat Hunt (3 bucks & 3 does *guides discretion)
Management Hunt (1 doe & 1 buck up to 125” *guides choice)
MCO Hunt (1 doe and 1 buck 130″- 140”)

Whitetail Deer Hunt Details
Our meat hunt, management hunt and MCO deer hunts are 3 day hunts. Our Trophy Buck hunt is a 5 day hunt. All hunts start on the evening of the day you arrive and you will hunt the following two full days, the last morning and conclude at noon. Guides will take all hunters to our range to sight in and check their rifles before hunting. Guides will field dress/skin/quarter/cape your harvest and shipping to our recommended taxidermist is included. We will ship capes/horns to you or your taxidermist for an additional fee. We also have a recommended local processor if so desired.
Our deer hunts are mostly safari style, spot and stalk with shots made with shooting sticks, or prone. We typically hunt the first 2-4 hours and last 2-4 hours of daylight depending on the time of year.
