About HWH
A family-owned bowhunting destination, built over more than two decades in Whitewright, Texas.
North Texas' premium whitetail hunting experience.
High Wide & Heavy Outfitters is an archery-only whitetail hunting outfit located about an hour north of Dallas–Ft. Worth. Nestled near the small town of Whitewright, TX, we're a family-owned and operated hunting destination who has been guiding hunts for over two decades.
Our preserve offers trophy and management hunts for hunters of all ages. We understand the need for quality hunts, which is why we started our outfit over 25 years ago.
We live and breathe bowhunting and believe that it is much more than just a harvest — it's a passion. There is something about breathing the same air and fooling a mature buck sometimes only 15 yards away. The right wind, the right situation, the right opportunity all play a part into the right shot placement.
Here at High Wide & Heavy, you won't meet a more dedicated group of men who want you to have the best whitetail hunting experience possible. It's our incredible team of outfitters that makes us who we are — and the hunters we meet along the way that share the same passion.
The people behind the preserve.

Cleon is the heart of the HWH operation. He started HWH over 20 years ago with one mission in mind — to have fun. His legacy lives on through the thousands of oak trees planted around the ranch, the generations of whitetails living in the hardwoods, and his loving family.

Bowhunters First
We're archery-only because we believe in the discipline. Pressure stays low and deer stay relaxed.
Quality Management
Active habitat management and MLD-permitted harvest decisions are how trophy genetics get built.
Family Hospitality
Every guest is treated like family — that's not a tagline, that's how we run the lodge.
