Dryden, TX 78851(Terrell County)

DESCRIPTION: Beautiful gently rolling hills with some large draws to rugged limestone rim rock hills with scenic bluffs. There are some big wide valleys with good soil and heavy brush for game habitat. Elevations run from 2,400 feet to 2,650 feet and there are some outstanding views. There are some wet weather creek bed valleys that produce a multitude of trees and brushes. The trees, brush, weeds, forbs, and grasses found on the ranch provide outstanding habitat for wildlife, particularly deer, bobwhite and blue quail, and turkey. The excellent tree/brush coverage includes: hackberry, mesquites, kidney wood, walnuts, catclaw, persimmon, mescats, juniper, lechuguilla, black brush, algerita, cenizo, guajilla, soto, rosin, quayacan, ochotilla, and others. Many of these are high in protein and allow for good antler growth. Grasses include black grama, sideoats grama, hairy grama, bluestem, green sprangletop, sand dropsee, and fall witchgrass. There are no neighboring easements through the ranch and big neighbors around the majority of the ranch.
