Edna, TX 77957(Lavaca County)

3,300 feet of spring-fed year-round Chicolete Creek meanders through the property and is lined with big sycamore, pecan, cottonwood, elm, and hackberry. Along the creek, there is a natural deep pond called "Alligator Lake", which is fed by the creek and is full of bass and catfish. There is also a 2 acre stocked pond that is approx 12 feet deep. The duck hunting is amazing, with 7 water fowl impoundments totaling approx 120 acres of surface water. These duck lakes are engineered to drain in the off-season and manage for native duck foods. There are 2 water wells, one is equipped with a solar pump and one is an old rice well that is not currently being used.

Wildlife:

This ranch has been intensely managed exclusively for wildlife for the past 7 years. The ranch has 6 whitetail breeder pens, and numerous deer out of 200+ genetics have been released to supplement the native deer herd. In the winter months, the waterfowl lakes are home to incredible numbers of ducks, geese, and sandhill cranes. There are large numbers of turkey that roost along the Chicolete Creek and other timber lined drainages on this ranch. Last year, a gobbler was killed that had an 11.5 inch beard. The owner has conducted controlled burns every winter for the past 7 years, increasing the native grasses and forbes. Annual predator control is also part of the wildlife management plan. The ranch currently holds a level III MLD.

Improvements:

There is a small hunter's camp consisting of 2 travel trailers that can sleep about 10 people. The perimeter and deer pens' high fence is galvanized tightlock and will last a lifetime. The perimeter roads have been built up and are all-weather. There are several hunting blinds, feeders, and a steel 8 person duck blind that will convey. There is some cross fencing.
