About 4-Arrows Outfitters
www.4ArrowsOutfitters.com

Wayne and Jarred Peeples of 4 Arrows Outfitters are experienced bowhunters and outfitters. They understand the needs of bowhunters:  proper stand setup, comfortable shooting distances, and game to hunt.

With up to 75,000 acres of privately owned land to bowhunt, 4-Arrows Outfitters is the largest archery outfitting operation in the world. Wayne Peeples, the owner of 4 Arrows Outfitters credits two factors for their success: #1 - careful trophy management of the herd, and #2 - the King Ranch.

4 Arrows Outfitters on the King Ranch. 

The King Ranch is huge, it occupies 825,000 acres of prime South Texas Whitetail country. King Ranch's deer management program includes the rotation of the areas where deer can be harvested. This allows the Ranch's deer herd to mature. 

4-Arrows offers trophy hunts for Whitetail bucks as well as bowhunts for Rio Grande Wild Turkey, Wild Hogs, Nilgai Antelope and Javelina.

I asked Wayne Peeples several questions about his Whitetail hunts. He answered:

"People have the opportunity to harvest an outstanding trophy buck here. Because we have so much land we can keep the hunting pressure to a low level in every pasture, this ensures quality hunts for mature animals."

"Our management program is geared to produce mature animals. Many hunters get the 3 1/2 buck that would be an outstanding trophy in two years. At 6 1/2, whitetail bucks are at peak for this ranch. So our trophy hunts are for bucks that are 5 1/2 and older. This allows the bucks to exhibit their antler potential."

"The raw P&Y score of our average whitetail buck exceeds any other outfitter in North America. 1999 was the 5th year of my management program and this year was the best ever for 4-Arrows. One buck in the 170's and 7 160 class whitetail bucks were harvested by bowhunters. Previously the average gross score was 143 but in '99 so many 160 plus bucks were harvested that the average went to 150."

"We offer several packages. Our Trophy Whitetail bowhunts are the most well known. The objective is to get the hunter the largest trophy buck possible. We take 3 Trophy hunts a week, 1 on 1. A guide works with the hunter. Trophy hunts are 95% to 100%."

"We take 10 Stand hunters a week. We have the stands set up for bowhunters and close range archery shots. Stand hunters can shoot a 4 1/2 year old buck or older. Stand hunts run 60-70%."

"In addition, we have special Management buck hunts in certain pastures. Bucks taken will average between 100 and 110 gross Pope & Young points. These hunts average 95% plus shot opportunity which makes them great for people who have never taken a buck, or youth hunters. Doe Hunts are separate hunts and are semi guided."

"Twice I got into wild pigs and had multiple daily opportunities to stalk & shoot javelina. I've got to say that the Nilgai (by the way, it's pronounced neal-guy) is truly a most wary animal. It doesn't wait around when it identifies a human. The moment one pegs you, it's gone at break neck speed, and doesn't stop running. They are the hardest game animal I've ever tried stalking, yet was able to get within 30 yards of several my last day. Although our group did not get a Nilgai there were other Nilgai hunters in camp and 11 were taken during our stay. Dr. Dave, Crabby & I hunted them the hardest during our trip, and it was common for each of us to see dozens of different animals each day. It took us a couple of days to find productive Nilgai areas and then figure out how to hunt them and get within bow range. I'm confident that had we spent one more full day hunting we would have one or more hanging on the game pole."

"Our hosts, Wayne & Jarred Peeples deserve tremendous credit for creating a bowhunters utopia. The experiences we enjoyed were no accident. Immeasurable work went into their operation, game management program and comfortable accommodations. All of us at Deerhunting.Net would like to tell them, 'Thank You'!"

"We have a saying here in Texas that means Outstanding, Awesome, Fantastic & Unbelievable. That saying best describes our hunt with 4-Arrows Outfitters, and that is, "It'll knock your hat in the creek!"  Call them, you'll be glad you did."  - Zano
