TERRAIN

You can't grow big whitetail without proper vegetation, and this ranch is no exception. Numerous high quality browse species can be found on this ranch including Black Brush, Guayacan, Coma, Granjeno, White Brush, Guajillo and several others. Over the past decade, Riata Ranch has prioritized making intentional improvements to the natural browse by using methods such a roller chopping, root plowing, shredding, and spraying of undesirable species such as prickly pear and tumbleweed.

WILDLIFE

The whitetail deer herd has been meticulously managed over the past 11 years and is the highlight of the ranch. No outside genetics have ever been introduced. Instead, Riata Ranch has used various herd management techniques such as culling and Deer Management Permit "DMP" pens to further enhance the native genetics. For 9 years, 2 bucks and 30-35 does from the native herd were selected and placed in 2 separate DMP pens. These bucks were carefully chosen based on desired characteristics and overall score. The ranch has grown some incredible deer, the largest scoring 231" B&C with several others surpassing the 200" mark. Over the past 2 hunting seasons, 3 buck were harvested that scored between 196 and 200. In addition to the outstanding whitetail herd, other native species include javelina, coyote, bobcat, dove, quail, and occasional hog. In years of good rainfall, the dove hunting has been exceptional around the ranch's tanks.

WATER

Riata Ranch has an abundance of surface water. There are 4 large tanks/lakes that vary from 2 to 15 acres in size. Three of these lakes were dug out even deeper over the years and have consistently held water through severe periods of drought. In addition, a shared Carrizo water well that is situated on a neighboring ranch, fills a 20,000 gallon storage tank which gravity feeds 7 miles of water lines throughout the ranch. These lines currently feed 7 strategically placed water troughs around the ranch, 2 troughs for the DMP pens, and a newly installed 5,000-gallon storage tank that supplies water to the homes and shop area.

MINERALS

There are no mineral to covey, and there is no oil or gas production on the ranch.
