Hogsback Ranch, located near Gilman, Wisconsin, consists of eleven whitetail deer breeding pens on 20 acres of land, including a handling corral and facility. We designed this operation and facility to improve the handling capabilities of whitetails. This in-turn promotes a higher quality of genetics with less stress. Plus, by simplifying the annual vaccination process we achieve better overall health.

At Hogsback Ranch, we have been refining our genetics using artificial insemination since 2000. The possibilities when utilizing artificial breeding are endless. We take great pride in providing our customers with world class genetics. We offer does, fawns, breeder bucks and semen for sale throughout the breeding season. If you have any questions or would just like to talk deer, please contact Hogsback Ranch.

Whitetail Deer Engineering

The Hogsback Ranch has been breeding quality whitetail deer since 2000. We started out with a few does and now through breeding and purchasing the best genetics available we have over 100 whitetails. View our genetics images below.

Our breeding does all have a minimum one generation of 200" genetics behind them. With most of them being two to ten generations of 200" stock. We have consistently upgraded our whitetail doe genetics to stack as many generations of 200" genetics behind them as possible and now we are beginning to stack 300" genetics on top of that.

At Hogsback Ranch, we have consistently improved our conception rates year after year and are now getting rates of 75% or better. We have added genetics from Tonto 310", Lakota 393", Pretty Boy Flloyd, Dreamcatcher 302", Max Thrust 260" at 3 years, Out of Bounds >300", P.C. Brutus 266", Peach 226 1/2", Big Guy 264", Undertaker 215" at 3 years, MO Thunder 273", Matrix 294", G.B. Magic 307" and more of the world's top breeder bucks.
