Deer Capture at La Perla: Cowboys, Helicopters, and Massive Deer

Join me for an unforgettable weekend at La Perla Ranch as we dive into a full-scale deer capture operation. From an in-depth interview with Gary and Blair Schwartz to real-time footage of bucks, does, and exotics being safely netted, transported, and released into the breeding pens, this video gives a rare behind-the-scenes look at how world-class wildlife management is done. The video begins with a sit-down interview with Gary and Blair, where we talk through the history of La Perla, their management practices, big-buck genetics, and what makes this ranch one of the most unique whitetail operations in Texas. I trimmed the interview to focus on hunting and deer-management topics, but the full uncut interview will be uploaded separately if you want the entire story. From there, we jump straight into the action: • Following the cowboys as nets go out • Transporting trophy bucks and does back to the breeding pens • Capturing whitetail, nilgai, and even a wildebeest • Learning the process, challenges, and teamwork that make it all possible • My firsthand experience riding multiple bucks back to camp as a complete rookie • A rattlesnake encounter (and a rattle souvenir for my son) • Wrapping up the weekend with the final morning of captures This was an incredible behind-the-scenes look at professional deer capture, wildlife management, and the people who make operations like this possible. Huge thank you to Blair and Gary for having me out. If you're looking for a world-class hunting experience for whitetail or exotics, La Perla is second to none.
