Benson Farm and Ranch: Testimonials

  • Ryan,

    Jon Hosford I have been hunting Exotic game animals for about 5 or 6 years and have heard a lot of horror stories about hunters being ripped off. Consequently when I first contacted Ryan at Benson Farm and Ranch I asked some pretty tough questions. He was probably at the point of telling this old man to hunt my Aoudad somewhere else. We finally came to an agreement on a date. My hunting partner had seen the Wally Dallenbach hunt at the ranch on television a while back and was convinced this place was good. On 17 February I showed up at his front gate and from that moment on was treated like a very special person. The accommodations are five stars. The ranch is breathtaking. I saw many trophy animals and came home with a ROE gold medal trophy Aoudad. Ryan styles the hunt to you. What a place! Thanks Ryan and do not over eat on the MRE’S. Hope to be seeing you again soon.

  • Dear Ryan,

    Terry M Salyer I wanted to thank you again for the outstanding hunting adventure last weekend. Not only was the hunting trip a success, but Rita and I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. The lodge and facilities are clean and well maintained, unlike some places I have experienced.

    As you know, this was my second successful hunt at the ranch. The first trip netted a great aoudad trophy and now I have a trophy mouflon ram to add to the office wall. The age and quality of the animals considered trophies on the Benson Farm and Ranch is a tribute to your game management style. The overall ranch size, as well as the supplemental feeding, food plots and cedar control measures, should continue to allow for trophy quality animals for many years to come. While I have only hunted exotics with you, the quality of the fresh sheds we found were awesome. Calculating what I spend each year on the deer lease, feed, feeders, stand, supplies and trips, I figure the Benson Farm and Ranch trophy whitetail hunt is a bargain.

    Rita already wants to come back and fish some more. We will be in touch with you regarding another hunting opportunity this fall.

    Best Regards,

    Terry M Salyer

  • Dear Ryan,

    Stephen Bradley Tulane Boys Let me start by saying the guys and I were simply amazed by the number of trophy caliber Whitetail that roam the grounds of Benson Farm and Ranch. The hospitality as well as the accommodation is the best that we have ever experienced. To look out from the back porch of the guest house and see the open pastures nestled at the foot of Saddle Mountain is unbelievable.

    The hunting experience and memories is not something that we will soon forget, having hunted whitetails for sometime. We all know that having two massive 10 points lock horn within 50 yards of your stand is not something you see every day. And just when we thought that was going to be the highlight of our trip, the very next morning we decided to do a little rattling. Nothing could have prepared us for what we were about to see, we rattled in at least five deer four of them were easily 145 to 150 class 10 points, and then out of no where this massive 20 inch wide 12 point got within 25 feet of us UNBELEIVABLE.

    From the deer blinds to the guest house if you are looking to experience trophy whitetail hunting at its finest Benson Farm and Ranch has got it.

    Ryan, thanks for the memorable experiences, we will defiantly be back soon.

    Tony, Stephen, Rusty and Wiz

  • Ryan,

    Eric Wietfeld ...I would like to thank you for an excellent Aoudad and Mouflon hunt!!!

    My family had a great Spring Break. After talking with you numerous times on the phone following the Wally Dallenbach show, we finally booked in January, for the first week of March. The quality of game animals on your ranch is excellent! The mouflon sheep are as pure as the get,...and the amount of trophy Aoudad was incredible. The hospitality you showed us was more than expected and the accomodations were superb.

    My wife loved the ranch! I've hunted about a half dozen of different ranches throughout Texas and the Benson is hands down the nicest. We are already planning for next year,...

    We came to the ranch as clients and we left as friends. I can't say enough Ryan.,...

    If you would like to use me as a reference, I've put my phone number at the end.

    See you next year!

  • Ryan,

    Troy Mouret Just wanted to take this opportunity to say thanks for a wonderful hunt, and experience that we encountered on the Benson Farm and Ranch. The scenery and quality of animals were breath taking. In my days, I've hunted about 10-12 different ranches throughout Texas, and I find the Benson in the top three. We were after trophy whitetails,(140-150 class), and saw numerous quality bucks that fit that category. If you and your family members want to experience a trip of a life time, book a hunt with Ryan Leblanc on the Benson, and I promise you, you wont have any regrets!!!!!!!

    Sincerely,

    Troy Mouret
