Seco Valley Ranch
Trophy Whitetail Deer & Feral Hogs
Real Hunting • Fair Chase

The Seco Valley Ranch consists of 1883 low-fenced acres in the Hill Country of Medina County, located 8 miles southwest of Tarpley, Texas. The terrain varies from rough and brushy limestone hills to open pasture broken by live oak motts with plenty of underbrush. The ranch is located on the Balcones Escarpment where the Edwards Plateau oak and juniper savanna, meets the South Texas Brush Country. Vegetation is a mix of species common to the two areas. Several wet-weather creeks run through the property and nine livestock/wildlife watering sites are spaced through eight pastures.

Due to the mix of vegetation, Whitetail deer in this area tend to grow larger than average Hill Country deer. It is not uncommon for mature bucks to field dress out over 130 pounds and score between 130 and 140 Boone & Crockett. Older bucks may score well over 140 and approach 160 Boone & Crockett. The population of mature bucks has increased as the Seco Valley Ranch game management program has entered it’s fourth year. Year-round protein and mineral supplementation is provided and hunters make frequent sightings of heavy-antlered mature bucks from our twelve available deer blinds (mostly elevated box stands).
