We are closed to hunting for good!

I announce the following with great regret: Due to inconsiderate neighbors who moved in from out of state building their house / barns / septic system just across my property line on my North Boundary, causing total disruption to local game populations  and due to Texas Tech University using a Helicopter to wipe out hogs […]

Everything is VERY Green Now!

For the first time in several years everything at the Ranch is GREEN. We have had over 9 inches of rain since the last week of May. I know this might not sound like that much for some Gulf Coast residents but here that can be the entire amount for a year! The volume of […]
