WILDLIFE:

A few of the pictures of the deer are provided herein, but others can be provided upon request or by viewing the ranch Instagram page which is HERRADURARANCH. This ranch was also originally designed for quail hunting and still has the entire infrastructure in place to help them thrive even in drought conditions. You can find both blue and bobwhite quail on the ranch. There is also a small herd of Axis deer on the ranch along with other native species to south Texas. Being that this ranch has such an abundance of surface water there is also a good duck population that make their way to the ranch every year and plenty of fishing to enjoy when hunting is not a priority.
