"I have been hunting with Gino
at Tillies for over 15 years.
When I started, I was not sure what
to wear, what to bring or which
end of the animal to shoot!
I enjoyed shooting and
knew I wanted to learn how to hunt.
Gino lead me through the process of
picking gear, learning about where
to take the shot, how to still hunt,
animal habits, and even butchering.
Gino has taught me to hunt
ethically and skillfully. Since then
I have become a fairly accomplished
hunter with a love for the
outdoors and the chase of the hunt.
Because of the skills I
acquired with Gino I have gone
on to hunt in California, Colorado,
Iowa, and Africa for dangerous game.
When living in Japan I was losing my
mind and needed to get away from the
big city for a while. For my 40th
birthday my wife arranged a 4 day hunt
with Gino and I could not have
imagined a better present.
Tillies is a fun place to hunt.
The terrain is not to too challenging
and the shots can be anywhere from
15 to 400 yards upon your comfort level.
I still come back
to Tillies every year I am able
because more than just the hunt,
I enjoy the companionship and
atmosphere of this facility.
When my kids are old enough to start
hunting, their first shot at big game
will be at Tillies."

"I grew up hunting in Pennsylvania,
always hearing stories of the big deer
Texas had to offer and after hunting
the Tillies Ranch, it is all true.
I have never met a ranch manager
more in tune with his piece of property.
He is constantly scouting, watching
deer movement and behavior...and
as we all know that is the secret
to success when it comes to
whitetail hunting.
With the option of bow and
rifle hunting and the true atmosphere
of a Texas Hill Country ranch, Tillies
is a great place for either the beginner
or the avid hunter chasing that
BUCK OF A LIFETIME."
