I would like to introduce you to a great guy from Alabama, Jason Thompson from Cedar Hills Media & Marketing, LLC.  Jason had a great hunt. He and guide Nolan Fortuna walked their guts out getting to this beautiful 10 point. And it was worth it. When it was all done he was shot at 125 yards with a Winchester 270 WSM sitting next to a three foot tall cedar tree. By the time they did catch up with him he was 200 yards from the ranch hand's deck. We had a rather large time !!!!!!!!!

This is Philip Hart from West Virginia. Philip harvested this monster while sitting with guide Rod Fortuna in a box blind next to a food plot. This 13 point was shot at 230 yards with a Remington 30.06. Whoa, a 30.06!  This was great hunt. I could go on with this story forever, but at least he got him, and what a trophy.  WOW! He was excited. If you look close the guide has a black eye !!!!!!

This is Bob Mietz from West Virginia.  Bob and guide Joe Feyereisen harvested this heavy-horned 9 point out of a box blind overlooking a small pond and a heavily wooded draw. Mr. Meetz shot this deer at 3:00 in the afternoon at 330 yards with his new Browning X-Bolt 300 Win mag and absolutely crushed him! Bob did great considering the warm temps we hunted in. But that's hunting as we all know.

Trophies Taken During The 2008 South Dakota Whitetail Season

This is Greg Darby from West Virginia. This deer here was shot out of a box blind overlooking a small dam. Greg shot this monster at 290 yards to harvest this massive nine point. This deer here shows you what management will do for your land.

This is Perry Hughey from Alabama. Perry harvested this massive 10 point just before dark at fifty yards. Perry was sitting in a ground blind in the bottom of a canyon where three draws funnel into each other making this spot one of the best on the ranch.

This is big Jeff McKinney from Alabama. Jeff harvested this big 14 point sitting with guide Gaige Odenbach. Jeff and Gaige were posted in a ground blind overlooking a a well established deer trail. Jeff took one shot at 320 yards to claim this trophy buck.

This is Jim Batson from Alabama. Jim harvested this Mule deer after a twenty minute stalk with Guides Randy Odenbach and Rod Fortuna "Tuna". Jim made a great shot on this deer at 65 yards. At Majestic we are starting to get trophy Mule deer after the management practices on this ranch.

This is John McEwen from Alabama. John was sitting with Guide Randy Odenbach overlooking a deep canyon in a ground blind. The weather was very foggy and seen this big 12 point break through at 120 yards. The drop tine on this buck made up John's mind he was going to harvest this trophy.

This is David Thomas for Alabama. David and Guide Rod Fortuna were posted in a box tower when this tall tined 9 point stepped out at 390 yards. One shot Dave put the hammer down on this trophy. David and Rod were hunting along a stream next to a busy scrape line.

This is Steve Kennamer from Alabama. Steve harvested this deer out of a tower blind overlooking a heavily wooded draw. Steve made a great shot on this 9 point at 280 yards. The body on this deer was enormous!


After all the hunters leave Guides Randy Odenbach and Rod Fortuna get a chance to hunt with their sons Gaige and Nolan. This nice 14 point Mule Deer has never been seen on this ranch and we all know a little luck helps. Gaige Odenbach harvested this deer after a two hour stalk at 120 yards.
Trophies Taken During The 2007 South Dakota Whitetail Season


This is guide Rod Fortuna's son Nolan, hunting with him was guide Randy Odenbach's son Gaige. This was a very exciting hunt as the guides and their sons stalked to within 223 yards of this management buck. This mule deer as you can see lacks width on his horns but has the heighth and mass.


This is Bobby Maples from Alabama with his 2007 Archery buck taken at 4:00 in the afternoon on the third day of his archery hunt. Bobby placed his own stand in a scrape line that he found while going to an already existing stand. Bobby grunted this deer in at 16 yards before drawing back on his Hoyt bow and harvesting this great archery buck.





This is Jim Batson and his son Jim Batson Jr. These deer were taken about 300 hundred yards from each other. Jim was sitting in a ground blind and his son was sitting on the ground on a bald hill overlooking a small dam. Young Jim's deer was shot at 10:00 in the morning on the second day of his hunt sitting with guide Randy Odenbach at a 175 yards. This was another great shot on this buck. His dad's buck was taken the next afternoon at 210 yards sitting with his son in a ground blind. And this also was another great shot on this buck.

This is Doug Renfro from Alabama. This buck was taken on the second day of his hunt around 4:30 in the afternoon sitting with guide Randy Odenbach. They were sitting in a bale pile overlooking an alfalfa field. The deer was harvested at 150 yards. Doug made a clean shot on this buck. He was walking broadside till guide Randy Odenbach grunted and stopped the buck in his tracks. That’s when Doug dropped the hammer on this heavy horned buck. Great job Doug!!!!
This is Sam Fullerton from Virginia. His deer was shot out of a tower stand at 363 yards chasing a doe. This is a nice 9 point buck with 13 and a half inch G2's and 23 and a half inch main beams, what a buck!!!! This also was an exciting hunt. His deer was shot at 1:30 in the afternoon on a clear day around 40 degrees. His deer was taken on the third day of his hunt. Sam is a patient hunter and cashed in on a very nice 5 1/2 old buck. Good job Sam!!!!

This is Mark Brown from Virginia with guide Rod Fortuna. This was an action packed hunt as the deer was bedded not far from where Mark harvested this deer. Mark made a clean shot on this deer broadside at 250 yards with his custom made Jarret rifle around 4:30 in the afternoon on the second day of his hunt. They were hunting in a creek bottom with no ground blind, only the cedars behind them for cover. Great buck Mark!!!
