Double Down Deer Feed- Holden Pasture Deer Lease- Cactus Flat Ranch Live Thread 2019

[broadonrod]

It's that time again! This will be the 2019-2020 Double Down Deer Feed/ Holden Pasture Deer Lease/ Cactus Flat Ranch LIVE Deer Season thread.

We will be posting all kinds of photos throughout the season. We will show Trophy and Managment hunts and campfire fun from both ranches. We also plan on having a couple of guest TV show hunting with us again this year.
We plan on having  a few more US. Veterans hunting with us again this season as always.
We plan on sharing pictures of hundreds of bucks with some scoring well over 200" B&C. The bucks are looking amazing this year again and we are all super excited to get rolling!

The Holden Pasture deer lease is a free range, low fence deer lease. We are not MLD, we have no DMP pens, no biologist, just a good old fashion wild-whitetail deer lease. The Cactus Flat Ranch is Double Down Deer Feeds own ranch just one ranch over and 4 miles from the Nunley Chittim/ Holden Pasture Lease. The ranch was purchased as 2 ranches and is now all one ranch. The dividing fence was taken down a few months ago and the entire perimeter was high fenced around last August.
It has been a lot of fun building the ranch over the past year and we will be posting a lot of photos and videos from the Cactus Flat Ranch as well.
We run very few trail cameras on the less keeping the surprise in the hunts but we do run a few to help us learn and watch a few bucks as they progress year to year. We feed Double Down Deer Feed / protein pellets year round on both ranches. We are experiments with some different things now on a portion of the Holden Pasture Deer Lease and the Cactus Flat Ranch. We are always looking for ways to maximize antler growth and grow the biggest bucks possible.

Several Management Deer hunts and a few trophy deer hunts are sold on the Holden Pasture Lease each year ranch to help with expenses but other than that its just friends and family. The Cactus Flat Ranch will also be offering a few trophy hunts this year as well. To book a hunt with us or get on the list to become a lease member of the Holden Pasture Lease you can call my office at 281-344-9083 ask for Brett Holden.
Subscribe to the thread and follow us on the hunts daily. We are looking forward to lots of South Texas hunting action and excitement once again this season. The bucks are looking better than ever this year and we are all super excited!

This year we plan on taking more management deer off the ranch than ever. Our young up and comer bucks are looking incredible so we will be making room for them offering more management hunts. We will have a few "fill in hunts" available for management hunters that can come on short notice  between our already booked dates during the season. Not being MLD on the Holden Pasture Deer Lease, we have to use regular TPW whitetail deer tags to help keep our deer numbers in check. These management hunt packages are part of our program each year.
We are excited to get deer season started!

I’ll start off the season thread with a buck many of you that have followed the season threads through the years may remember. We have watched this buck for a few years now and he has piled on the inches again this year! This is a perfect example why we feed Double Down Deer Feed year round!
I will post more pictures of him as he progresses.
Thanks for following along!

Thanks for the reply... That’s one thing we focus on is getting the youngsters to the ranches and in the stands.
Saw this little sucker while checking feeders today.

Quick pic of a nice buck walking off from a tank.
We are seeing a lot of deer mid day in this heat hitting the water.
It’s super dry and the brush is burning up fast. The little rains we had boosted the brush for a while we could use another good rain soon.

[broadonrod]

Really glad to see the horn toads making a comeback. I bet I’ve seen 30-40 this year.

[sundownbrown]

Yeah we need a good rain soon in freer,one of our tanks is almost dried up, nice pics

A buck at the Cactus Flat Ranch from 2 days ago. He’s reall stacking it on. He is well behind many I’ve seen in antler growth but he’s adding inches fast now. Still have a month to grow.
