Wildlife/Hunting:

To the outdoorsman who loves to hunt and fish you will not be disappointed with the options you have on this ranch. For starters, the largest portion of Foster Ranch has recently been high-fenced with all welded galvanized materials that stretch approximately 6 miles. A large number of whitetail bucks reside on the property including some that would gross in excess of 230" Boone and Crockett points. The caliber of the herd's genetics is second to none! There are 8 professional quality tower blinds established on the property that take advantage of the natural view and travel corridors, habitat, and especially the experience, while waiting for what truly could be the Trophy of a lifetime to step out of the heavy timber. There are 7 Bulk protein feeders established on the property that will hold 2,000 lbs. each as well as 13 corn feeders located throughout the property. There are approximately 75+/- acres under free-range low-fence conditions to take advantage of the abundant hog population that is known to inhabit the Sabine River basin. Feral hogs in excess of 400 pounds have been harvested on the property which makes for a great year round hunting experience as well as quality table-fare.

If Waterfowl hunting is your passion you will appreciate a newly constructed 24+/- acre lake when full that is just waiting for the spring rains. Much forethought went into the design of the lake so as to attract the most waterfowl especially the puddle ducks, as there will be lots of flooded grasses and forage to attract and hopefully hold them during the fall and winter months. There is a very healthy local population of wood-ducks that add to the magical ambiance that Foster Ranch is known for.

The new lake should make for a great fishery once it fills its banks but you cannot talk about the Sabine River without talking about the existing fishing opportunities. With over 2.5 Miles of frontage on the Sabine River you can take advantage of the native Bass, Crappie, Catfish, Sand-Bass, Alligator Gar, etc. and there abundant populations that are present. The Sabine is one of the favorite fisheries for large Catfish among the locals. If you enjoy bow-fishing or just catching monster fish on rod and real, you will not get bored knowing there are Alligator Gar that are 6 and 7 foot long and can easily tip the scales at over 200 lbs. It can make for a very exciting sport to say the least....

Additionally, Foster Ranch would make for an ideal horse operation on the higher ground around the lodge on the upper end of the ranch.
