GENERAL RULES
Guest will first report to and remain at lodge until all balances are paid and all paperwork / releases are filled out and signed. If you carry a firearm, the firearm must remain in your vehicle during your stay on the ranch. Whitetail bucks must be 6 1/2 years of age or older and a gross P/Y score of up to 140 inches. Any trophy buck scoring over 140 P/Y gross inches will have a ki
ll fee assessed of 100.00 per inch of growth over 140. A 2000.00 replacement fee will be assessed if a buck is taken younger than 6 1/2 years old. Other fees will apply if you harvest a breeder deer on purpose or accident which are all identified by tag(s) in their ears. We are aware that deer aging can sometimes be an imperfect science therefore we keep that in mind before enforcing penalties. Inferior or cull deer may be given leniency. This rule is in place for our future guests ensuring a healthy heard of mature bucks each season. The ranch has some tagged (breeder deer) and 3 does currently. There will be pictures at the lodge for you to look at because we don’t want to harvest them. But if you do accidently or on purpose they will be priced. The Jagge07 Ranch is an (MLD) Managed Lands Deer Permit Ranch. All deer must be weighed, aged, and in the case of bucks some basic horn measurements must be made by ranch management. They also must be properly tagged with permits issued to the ranch by Texas Parks and Wildlife. Legal Axis bucks must be hard horned and have one main beam of 27 inches in length or longer following the main beam. Legal Rams must have a full curl or more. If an axis buck does not meet the minimum requirements a replacement fee of 2000.00 will be assessed at that time. If a Ram is less than a full curl a 1200.00 replacement fee will be assessed at that time. Axis deer and rams must be taken during daylight hours only. Turkeys are to be harvested during spring season only, gobblers only. Stalking is only allowed when all persons hunting in the pasture are from the same group and are all in agreement. No pooling of bag limits between hunters/ no deer drives/ you cannot use high fence to corner animals. No hunting from vehicles. You cannot hunt the release pen. Use of drones for any purpose is prohibited. No driving on the ranch at night except to and from blinds or to retrieve downed game. (This means no joy riding, spot lighting, drinking etc. If you want to hunt hogs after dark you must go to a blind.) Trail cameras may be used for scouting but are not to set up at protein feeders. No hunting within 50 yards of the lodge. No hunting allowed within 100 yards of any protein/alfalfa feeder. Do not adjust/alter corn feeder timers in any way. If you leave hunting equipment (blinds, feeders etc.) on the ranch it then becomes the property of the ranch. If I have to take it down you will have to pay to get it back. If a hunter draws blood this is considered a kill and it will count toward your game limit. Failure to report wounded game will result in your removal from the ranch without any refunds. (I want to know if you let an arrow fly after your am or pm hunt.) Hunters must take ethical broadside or quartering away shots within effective ranges. All hunters will be required to show ranch management that they are proficient with a bow by shooting at 20 yards with the arrow/broadhead they expect to kill with before anyone goes hunting. No mechanical broad heads will be allowed if shooting traditional or long bows. No mechanical broad heads will be allowed for compound bows with a draw weight of 40lbs or less. No trimming of oak trees at all. You are not allowed to move any of our tripods or ground blinds at all. You may only trim limbs the size of a pencil at our sets. If you don’t like it don’t sit in it. If you want to make a set by mine don’t cut my cover brush. Walk off away from my set and cut brush. Don’t use oak trees. Do not cross a high fence. If the perimeter high fence is crossed then hunter may be subject to trespassing charges. Do not cross into other hunters’ pastures, doing so may disturb other hunters making you responsible for reimbursing another hunters hunting fee.
