Since my friend Keith Warren (Deer and Wildlife Stories) did this original filming 'back in the day' our program has exploded! Enjoy this old video featuring The GKR on a nationally televised program, as it sets the stage in those early days as to where we are today as a breeding program!
The Gist Kinsman Ranch is located in southern Live Oak County, 2 hours south of San Antonio, Texas and just south of George West, Texas.
Our topography is made up of some of the most unique habitat in Texas and reflects a blending of the Gulf coast savannas and classic south Texas brush! Being about 1.5 hours west of the Texas gulf coast, we receive significantly more moisture than just 40 miles west of our location, and that makes for lush, thick and tall south Texas brush with 40' Bull Mesquite trees scattered throughout the ranch. Big Chocolate horned typical-framed bucks and several hand picked African Antelope species roam our pastures and are a testament to the focus and hard work needed to improve and sustain a big game ranch.
We are in our second decade of 'Breeding Deer' (within our scientific breeding facility) to continually introduce outstanding genetics into our pastures for our hunters! We also build these deer to enhance properties of other land owners throughout the state that desire to enhance and improve their herd for their own personal enjoyment as well as to enhance their hunting business!
We host outdoor lovers of all type on The GKR! Trophy and Management Buck hunters who are looking for that buck of a lifetime but do not want to 'ruff it' when the sun goes down! We also host and retreats for groups that are looking for an extremely isolated location and 5 star accommodations to enhance team unity or host team building speakers!
