Game Species hunting suspended indefinitely.

Due to a total lack of interest in hunting of game species at the Ranch for 2 years in a row now, we have made the decision to discontinue ALL hunting of Texas legal game species on Ranch property. It is simply not worth the investment in the permit required by Texas nor the time involved in the effort.

As usual Airgun ONLY hunting for Wild Hogs, Coyotes and pest animals will be available. $100 per day (24 hour period) per shooter will be the fee collected for your  use of the Ranch property.

Hog populations are increasing and several groups of pocket pigs (piglets) have been spotted lately. This can be attributed to the well soaked ground and abundant moisture that has occurred in the last Month.

Ground moisture continues to improve at the Ranch

Here at the Ranch we were blessed with another snow storm late Saturday into late Sunday afternoon (09 thru 10 Jan 2021). Approximately 5 to 7 inches of wet snow fell (our biggest snow in several years) and it has greatly increased ground moisture content. Additionally more wild hog sign was noticed Monday morning immediately following the storm. A rather large bobcat was also seen beside my shop building 50 yards from the house Tuesday afternoon which explains the sudden lack of quail and cotton tail rabbits lately. Game populations are on the move since water for now is plentiful.

2020 / 2021 Deer season ending soon!

The Special late White Tail Deer season kicked off yesterday and runs through 17 January 2021. Time is running out to harvest a White Tail Deer at the Ranch this year.

We do not plan to offer ANY Deer hunting at the ranch in the future due to general lack of interest in the type of hunting we offer. There are plenty of wild hogs and predators though and till the end of August we will still offer hunting for those animals, however we are considering closing the Ranch to hunting permanently also due to a general lack of interest in hunting here by any airgunners. We are barely recouping the cost of the Hunting Lease Permit from the TPWD at this time.

Drought conditions at the Ranch have improved with 3/4 of an inch of rainfall last week followed by 2″ of snowfall which melted over a 2 day period to nourish the land.

Pig Digs have been sighted over a wide area of the fields and pastures as well as along the highway boundary.
