AAE Welcomes Lasater Whitetail Lodge

Blending West Texas charm with comprehensive management, Lasater Whitetail Lodge offers hunters an unforgettable experience.

Situated South of San Angelo, Texas, Lasater Whitetail Lodge (LWL) is a working cattle ranch that prides itself in Trophy Hunting with Cowboy Charm.  This game ranch offers exceptional hunting of diverse wildlife, including Texas trophy whitetail deer, numerous exotic species, dove, quail and spring turkey.

Owned and operated by Lorenzo Lasater, the LWL is one of the premier hunting destinations in the country for exceptional trophy-class exotics and monster whitetail deer.  What really sets it apart and makes a guided hunt at Lasater Whitetail Lodge so extraordinary, though, is the tremendous quality and diversity of the animals you will see while at the ranch.  They currently offer 36 (…yes, 36!) species of exotic wildlife from all over the world, including Africa, Europe, India and New Zealand.

“We’ve expanded our offering of Exotics, which can be hunted year-round and makes for a great off-season trip,” says Lasater.  He continues, “Our trophy quality is outstanding, with nearly every animal harvested the past six years qualifying for the Records of Exotics record book.”

That’s quite a track record!  It really speaks to the dedication of producing top-end trophy animals year in and year out.  This past hunting season was no exception.  Eighteen of the exotics harvested in 2010 medaled in the ROE Record Book.

LWL exotic hunts consist primarily as spot-and-stalk hunting.  This style of hunting  not only adds to the challenge of the hunt, but the experience and excitement of harvesting an animal in such a manner.  And it’s only fitting that, after chasing top quality animals all day, you can put your feet up and relax in top notch accomodations as well.  Built in 2005,

A Young Hunter’s Day at Porter’s

Thanks to Gina Hewitt and her 11-year old son, Jackson for submitting the story of Jackson’s recent fallow deer hunt at Porter’s Exotics near Flynn, Texas, filmed for the Rusty Baker Outdoors TV Show.  This is Jackson’ account of the  a great weekend of hunting with new-found friends…

Jackson's 22-pt Fallow Buck

When we arrived at Porter’s Exotics on Dec 17th, we were met by CP Wade and Mr & Mrs Porter. CP showed us where we’d be staying and we unloaded our things.  He took me & my mom for a quick tour of the ranch.  We kinda got to know each other as we stopped by the bait tank to pickup a little bait, then off to do some cat fishing.  I caught a nice big catfish.  After fishing, we went back to the bunkhouse and waited for Rusty & “Robdawg”. Once they got there we all talked and got ready for dinner.

Mr. & Mrs. Porter took us all out for an amazing steak dinner.  I got to ride with all the guys and my mom drove Mrs. Porter there and back.  Once our dinner settled we went varmint hunting.  That was so much fun.  I shot a raccoon and a skunk.  When we got back, my mom let me hang out with all the guys while she read a book.  I had so much fun as we told jokes and talked about hunting.

We got up early Saturday morning and drove into town and had breakfast at the store.  Rusty really had us laughing there.  Afterwards, we went back to the ranch.  We were going to hunt the afternoon, but the plan changed and we went ahead and hunted right then…

Trophy Room Spotlight – Twin Slams Axis

Chase Lambin was able to connect on this fantastic axis buck, his first axis ever.    Chase is currently playing professional baseball, as an infielder for the Minnesota Twins.  He took his trophy axis on a family friend’s private ranch near Rocksprings, Texas on December 20, 2010.  The buck scores 146″ SCI, which qualifies as Silver in the SCI Record Books (and merely 2 inches from being Gold)!  During the hunt, Chase also narrowly missed harvesting a monster blackbuck.  As a result of the weekend hunt, Chase admitted that he’d officially caught the “exotic bug”.  Thanks for sharing, Chase, and continued success on the field and in the woods!
