The ranch is blanketed in protein-rich South Texas brush?Guajillo, Blackbrush, Sage, Mountain Laurel, and Mesquite?all thriving in the native soil. Extensive efforts have been made to restore native prairie grasses throughout. A well-maintained road system provides access across the property, with smaller trails cut between senderos, blinds, and feeders for convenient mobility. Multiple food plots and a robust feeding program (corn and protein) help support and sustain the wildlife population. The entire perimeter, approximately 5 miles in all, is under high fence, and active predator control (including trapping and fencing) has resulted in a healthy, thriving ecosystem.
Wildlife & Game Management:

Improvements:
