Tyler is one of the best hunters I have known for the past seven years. He and my sister got married in 2022. Him being a part of our family is a blessing.

His knowledge of the hunting industry is greatly appreciated by those around him.

Fun fact: He is also a HUGE Aggie fan!!

He grew up hunting throughout his childhood and learned how to hunt from his grandad. Tyler, also has been a part of his stepdad’s high fence ranch, Pura Vida Ranch, for many years.

Nutrients! Nutrients!

During our interview, Tyler said it is important to realize the different nutrients available to whitetail. In general, high-fence operations maintain more controlled variables than low-fence operations. He mentioned that Pura Vida Ranch doesn’t aim to have those crazy massive nested tine Whitetails like Northern states such as Minnesota and Ohio have.

Pura Vida Ranch aims for three key distinctions

Tyler moved to south Texas on my family’s low fence property, he stated that he aims to providing nutrients to the Whitetails on the low fence property. Although he comes from a high fence operation, he does not treat low fence operations differently. Tune in and hear all the details Tyler shares about his knowledge of what works best for both high and low fence operations and tips for hunters.
