Reagan and Mason Lightsey
The Lightsey Family Ranch is truly a family business. Tracy and daughter, Reagan, 14, breed and raise whitetail deer. When the deer have been weened and ready to explore the 2,000 acres, they are released to Lee and son, Mason, 12. Each member of the family takes part in handing animals, helping around the property, and are proud of their family legacy. The Lightsey family is community minded, serving surrounding counties. With little to no advertising, word of mouth keeps the family busy with scheduled hunts and lodge stays. “Right now,” says Lee Lightsey, “three-fourths of our business has been local from the three counties around us.” This past year, the Lightsey Family Ranch donated a special Valentine’s Day dinner for 25 couples to Moore Haven High School’s Project Graduation.
