Hosted by noted professional hunter, host of Federal’s and Beretta’s outdoor show “Dangerous Game,” and owner of the 777 Ranch, Jeff Rann, members of the 777 Ranch staff, and whitetail deer hunting experts from around the country, this hunting intensive will provide students with the opportunity to see large numbers of whitetail bucks and learn the finer points of field judging deer, trophy scoring, trophy caping by on-site taxidermists, biology, whitetail deer management and guide training.

Even experienced whitetail deer hunters and whitetail deer hunting guides will gain knowledge equal to years of experience and will learn more about whitetail deer hunting, and see more trophy class whitetail deer than they have their entire lives. This in-depth study of the most sought-after game animal in the world covers habitat and adaptability, feeding patterns, topography, population trends, breeding, and effective management strategies. Students will also learn live trophy scoring from today’s leading experts.
