Established in 1984, White Point Ranch was the idea of W.F. Lea of Shreveport, Louisiana. Looking for a place to find trophy whitetail, coveys of Bob White quail, wild turkeys, and wide open spaces, Mr. Lea decided the place he was looking for was three separate tracts of land near San Angelo, TX, at the northern tip of the Edwards Plateau and the southeastern tip of the Rolling Plains.

Mr. Lea built a haven for native animals such as our trophy class whitetail, jackrabbits, dove, Bob White & blue quail, ducks, wild turkeys & horned frogs to name just a few.

Mr. Lea also saw a need for a diverse population of grazing animals, so he brought in hearty exotics with native climates similar to Texas, Axis deer, native to Indian forests, the Scimitar-horned Oryx, native to the steppe and deserts of North Africa & Blackbuck Antelope of the open plains in India and Pakistan. These three species, common to many exotics ranches in the southern United States have thrived under the management at White Point Ranch.

With the help of Ray Dockery, the ranch manager, White Point is seeing consistent trophy class deer and are seeing demand for White Point exotics species increase every year. At live sales, White Point animals typically fetch a healthy premium over the other ranches supplying animals. Ray has fostered a well-deserved reputation for intensive care of his native whitetail populations and the growing exotics herds.

In the late 1990's, with whitetail deer in the 190+ class, 40"+ oryx, 20"+ blackbuck and 32" axis available on the ranch, it was time to open up the ranch to be an exclusive destination for the serious hunter, seeking a trip of a lifetime. With such high quality deer and exotics available, it is White Point Ranch's goal to also enlist a new generation of hunters, so there are specials for first-time hunters and kids.

Although Mr. Lea has passed on, the third generation of his family continues to enjoy White Point Ranch, it's beautiful scenery, diverse landscape, climate and amazing sunsets. And now, in 2006, the White Point Ranch family invites you to come to the ranch and enjoy all what it has to offer.

With decades of experience, Ray and his staff of guides, JT, Wade and Clark, host hunters of all levels, from the young/new hunter, to the disabled hunter, to the seasoned trophy hunter. Although hunts are limited, we still are highly committed to spreading the camaraderie, fun, knowledge, science and the art of the hunt.
