The ranch has both flat and undulating terrain and is comprised largely of wooded areas with natural openings that hold native grasses. The vegetation is thick throughout portions of the ranch, with a mix of live oak and mesquite trees creating phenomenal bedding for wildlife. Some sections have been thinned, while others have benefited from a controlled burn.

WILDLIFE

There is an abundance of deer and turkeys found on this ranch with a very high success rate shared among hunters. The ranch has been enrolled in the Texas Parks and Wildlife MLD program since 2018 and this has created some of the best deer hunting imaginable in this part of the state. Each year, 150+ class deer are harvested from this ranch and in 2017 there were an estimated 400 deer on the property.

The ranch has been in the harvest option for 4 years; last year, the ranch adopted the conservation option. Last year the biologist recommended the harvest of 30 deer (11 bucks and 19 antlerless). Because of the MLD program, hunters are allowed to harvest deer starting before the regular state season starts and after it ends.

Feral hogs are also found on the ranch but due to management efforts the numbers have decreased significantly. Due to the ranchs proximity to Lake Bridgeport, the waterfowl hunting remains consistent each year. The most common ducks found on the property are gadwall, widgeon, teal, pintail, mallards, and ring necks. The dove hunting is good, with consistent birds each year.

IMPROVEMENTS

WATER
