Cactus Jack used to have a waiting list, about as long as the travel distance on I10 between the FL and AL line. Pretty sure that CJ still has a base fee on mgmt bucks up to 135" of like $3,000, then it's a couple hundred bucks per inch over that base, up to 145". A 150" will be around $5500 and it'll be $300/inch more, for every inch over 150 til you get to 160. Then at 160 it jumps to a new base and increases either $400 or $500/inch from there. I've been on it, not hunting, and it is probably the best free range ranch and hunt in TX. If you're gun hunting, it's as close to a 100% success rate as you'll find. You'll see more and bigger bucks than you dreamed were possible to grow. Figure you shooting a 150 and your son a 135, you're probably looking at around $10K for the total trip once you tip the guides. If you're interested, I go ahead and call them and get on the list. Unless things have changed, it'll probably be several years before you get called.
