"Stasney's Cook Ranch is the ultimate Texas deer hunting experience - a pure hunt for quality whitetails. Great bucks thrive in the dense brush and wide open spaces of this scenic ranch cut from the Old West style. On a given morning, you'll experience the heart-pounding thrill of a buck charging to the rattling horns and skidding to a stop at point blank range. The same day can produce the excitement of glassing a trophy animal far across an open flat, then making a successful stalk. This ranch has it all. The accommodations are historic, the food is fabulous and the hospitality is second to none."
