P u b l i s h e r’s L e t t e r Welcome to the Lands of Texas Magazine Fall Issue 2013! We are proud to have Robert Dullnig with Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty present for sale the legendary Y.O. Ranch on our cover. The Y.O. has earned a reputation worldwide as “America’s Original Game Ranch.” Read about this famous ranch and unique opportunity to own a big chunk of Texas history beginning on page 13.

In this issue, you can find articles on deer and wildlife management, water rights, the Top 50 Sold and Big 50 For Sale properties, updated Market Report from Dr. Charlie Gilliland and our new Property& Broker Search Index. And don’t miss our Broker Spotlight on Matt Mann with La Gloria Land Co. Matt is rapidly distinguishing himself has one Texas’ finest Brokers.

Reports are coming in from Brokers across the state that the first half of 2013 has shown the best sales activity in five years, and there’s no sign of a slow-down. Properties are selling, prices are going up and great deals are still available. Land is a true source of wealth, provision and pleasure, as well as a secure investment.

In the words of Matt Mann from the Broker Spotlight interview, “For me, the number one benefit is that when I lay my head on my pillow at night, I feel that my money is safe and sound in a land investment. I know the stock market is unreliable, volatile at times, and therefore, stocks are not what I want the bulk of my portfolio in. Second, while my land asset is increasing in value, I can make memories with my family on the ranch. I have an outlet for all my hobbies on the ranch. I enjoy the land. I have never enjoyed a gold bar or an account statement I get in the mail.”

Email us with your questions, comments and experience buying or selling land or why you love it. We enjoy hearing from you!

From

the

Editor

As I am sending this issue to press, I find myself thinking about the idea of “all things land.” Could there be a more pervasive, and loaded, topic? Isn’t that what we really talk about when we talk about land: keeping up with the pace of change?

And that translates to the premise for this magazine --- all things land and the pace of change. So, we are determined to continually change and improve, to keep up with that pace and to bring you all things land. With incredible plans and new features to come, it is our goal to be the one resource regarding land ownership. Whether you are a buyer, an owner, a broker or just a land fan, we will do what it takes to be your singular, reliable, comprehensive land source.

So, let us know how we are doing and what you want to see from us in issues to come.

Blessings,

“When we change the shape of the Land, we alter the contents and contexts of our collective, familial, and personal memories. Yet, stories can preserve both mythic and familiar elements of geography

Lauret Jarvis Editor-in-Chief

even when the physical features are forgotten, buried, or obliterated.

And more than this: the stories can bring these elements back. If the Land can be preserved long enough for its stories to be told, and retold, perhaps we all — as custodians of both place and memory — stand a chance at real preservation.” - Ari Berk

29,000± Acres | Kerr County Property ID: 1477517

The Legendary Y.O. Ranch Captain Charles A. Schreiner, merchant, banker, philanthropist, and pioneer rancher, joined the Texas Rangers in 1854 and served with distinction until 1857, when he entered the cattle business in Kerr County. The Y.O. Ranch, purchased in 1880, became headquarters for the Schreiner Cattle Company, and the Live Oak Ranch, now forming portions of the Y.O., was headquarters for its sheep operations. Throughout six generations, the ranch is notable for many firsts, including leasing land for hunting to provide income, establishing a registry for Texas Longhorns that brought the legendary breed back from the brink of extinction, and for introducing exotic hoof stock that earned the ranch a reputation world-wide as ‘America’s Original Game Ranch’.

With an established infrastructure, it is a notable destination for native and exotic hunting, Longhorn cattle and animal auctions, ranch tours, social and corporate events, and superb recreation and relaxation.

An innovative animal conservation program has assured strength of these herds and made the legendary Y.O. Ranch a world leader in exotic game preservation.

shelter From

the

storm

It’s

autumn in Texas. Humidity levels have plummeted, and there’s not a cloud in the sky. We’re on the backside of hurricane season, and tornado season is several months away.

But as sure as winter is coming, so is twister time. And now may be the best time to create a safe haven for your family during a storm — especially if you live in rural Texas.

Early Texas pioneers often relied on underground root cellars or storm caves built into hillsides for protection from tornadoes and other inclement weather. Without advanced weather forecasting systems, they had to be prepared for the worst.

Storm shelter technology and manufacturing have come a long way. According to the National Storm Shelter Association, research into buildings that resist extreme winds began after a tornado claimed 26 lives and heavily damaged Lubbock in 1970. Texas Tech University researchers produced a documentary of building damage, the first of its kind, and were the first to present the concept of above-ground storm shelters. Recently, major storms in our region have inspired a surge of new interest in taking shelter at home.

Today a variety of shelter types offers homeowners many choices. The first decision is when to install a shelter, and the most practical, economical time is during home construction or remodeling. Deciding whether you want your shelter located inside or outside your home will help you narrow down your options.

safe rooms Provide “Near-Absolute” Protection A safe room provides the quickest access to safety and can be built as a reinforced interior room on a home’s first floor or in a basement. An in-ground safe room can also be installed beneath a concrete slab or garage floor.

According to the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) guidebook Taking Shelter From the Storm, a safe room at a home or small business “can help provide ‘near-absolute’ protection for you and your family or employees from injury or death caused by the dangerous forces of extreme winds.”

Quick access to “near-absolute” protection is what attracted John and Natasha Sawyer to include a safe room in blueprints for the home they built in 2007, a few miles north of Hillsboro, Texas.

“We knew that when we built our new home, we wanted a shelter, and we wanted it in the house,” Natasha says. “The water table is pretty high out here, so we knew a basement wouldn’t work.”

Based on specifications provided by FEMA and the Texas Tech University Tornado Research Center, the Sawyers’ builder constructed their 10-by-12-foot cinder-block safe room as an interior room on the first floor of their home, with an easily accessible metal door and no windows.

They covered the cinder blocks with drywall, so that it looks like any other interior room. The steel door is built to FEMA code, with multiple hinges and at least three deadbolt locks, and is covered in hickory to match the home’s other interior doors.

Tornadoes tend to move quickly through an area, so you won’t need to stay in the safe room during a twister for very long. According to FEMA, about 5 square feet of floor area per person is plenty of space for a safe room. For protection from hurricanes, which last longer, comfort is a higher priority, and FEMA recommends 7 to 20 square feet of floor space per occupant.

heading your way, you aren’t going to be thinking about how much a shelter cost. You’re going to be thinking about how glad you are to have it.”

Because safe rooms are located inside a home, they can serve a dual purpose as a home office, closet or storage area for valuables. For example, Jason Gandy, vice president of Capital Farm Credit in Lubbock, financed a rural home near Idalou that included a basement and a safe room that doubles as a gun safe in a closet. On the downside, safe rooms are generally the most expensive option, especially when installing one in an existing home.

The total cost for the Lightfoots’ installed shelter, which could accommodate six to eight people, was $3,000 in 2007, and it was financed as part of their home loan with Texas Land Bank.

The costs associated with storm shelters can easily be rolled into a home construction or home improvement loan, he points out.

“Some people don’t feel like it is a necessity to spend the money, but one night we spent 1½ hours in there, and I was very glad we had it,” says Charlene.

An underground tornado shelter is not exposed to high winds and debris like an above-ground shelter is. Built of concrete, fiberglass, plastic or steel, underground shelters can be accessible from either inside or outside the home.

When Garry and Charlene Lightfoot were building their rural home six years ago, they considered several shelter designs and sizes before opting for a prefabricated concrete in-ground room. Wanting a safe place close to the house that they could access in a hurry, the couple located their shelter just steps from their back porch.

If you are interested in building a storm shelter, you can find detailed information in a number of helpful resources online.

About the size of a bathroom, the room is constructed in two sections. A local septic contractor did the work, digging the hole and positioning the bottom half into it. “We have black dirt here, and no rock, which made excavation easy,” says Charlene.

Kenneth Hooper, vice president with Panhandle-Plains Land Bank in Plainview, says that in his area of the Texas Panhandle, it just makes sense to have a storm shelter.

Knowing that your home offers protection from the havoc of Mother Nature can provide peace of mind that far outweighs the expense, he adds.

“For the price of a nice garden tractor, cruise vacation or swimming pool, you can have long-term security for your family,” Hooper says. “Especially in the flat, rural areas of the Panhandle, when you see a tornado or a big storm

AT THE END OF THE DAY Interview with Matt Mann

by Courtney Donnell

I have no doubt that when Matt Mann, owner of La Gloria Land Company, rests his head on his pillow at night, he does so knowing that he gave his absolute best that day. An inherent ethic of hard work, family and faith is evident in each and every compartment of his life, and there are many. Matt is an avid hunter, devoted father and husband, active humanitarian, proud Texan ‌and oh yeah, he’s an Aggie.

broker spotlight

comes to mind, I was showing a listing and I came across two poachers carrying rifles. They were actually kind of ticked at me for disturbing their hunting. They asked me “What in the world I was doing?” Of course, I told them I was trying to sell the ranch to the folks sitting in my truck.

We had a friendly visit about the incredible hunting they had experienced on the property and all the big deer they had killed. You know, they had a great sales pitch, but needless to say, I never heard back from those buyers again.

What have you learned is the most important aspect of selling ranches?

My dad always told me, “The harder you work, the luckier you get.” I have found that to be true. You know, that one late phone call, that one twenty hour day, that one showing that is eight hours away, you never know when that extra effort is going to pay off in the long run. So, I don’t ever slack up. I can’t afford to. It takes diligence, not only in your marketing efforts, but in creating trusting relationships with your clients. It takes work and energy to meet the needs of my clients, which is what I strive for, whether its getting a fence builder or dozer operator out there, staying on top of surveyors,

“To most Texans, ranch ownership is the ultimate expression of what a person values: nature, family and independence.”

Your family has some history in the ranch development business. How did it all start?

Well, my grandfather, Wayne Mann, owned a welding supply business in his twenties. He liked to take his customers hunting and had quail leases all over south Texas. As a result, he developed great relationships with a lot of land owners. His first ranch deal happened when the owner of a 30,000 acre ranch asked him if he could help him sell his ranch. Wayne then went out and put a group of about 15 buyers together. They bought that ranch. His agreement with the seller and all the buyers was that for him putting the deal together, he would get first pick out of the 30,000 acres. He chose 1500 acres with 4 miles of Nueces river frontage and paid $110 an acre. The initial seller was happy, the other 15 buyers ended up making good money on the deal and my grandfather acquired his first ranch. He quickly realized he was good at doing this, that he really enjoyed it, and that there was a huge opportunity there, he quit the welding supply business and started buying and selling ranches. In his lifetime he has probably bought and sold well over a million acres. My dad, got into it, probably fifteen years ago. He is an entrepreneur and has started and then sold several companies, mainly in the construction industry. He went in and partnered with my granddad. Now, they buy and sell ranches together.’

When and how did you get started selling ranches?

I’ve been around land sales all my life, so when the time was right I started my own ranch brokerage firm. I got started full time in 2006. My first listing was in Jim Wells County between Premont and San Diego. It was 665 acres.

And, you know, I thought I was going to starve to death. But, I sold it and I got a really big check. I thought, “Man, this is great. My hard work paid off, and I am going to work even harder.”

What is the best or most interesting deal you have ever worked on?

They have all been interesting in different ways. I love learning new things; and you learn something new on every deal. The deal I am most excited about right now, is a 300 acre ranch I bought myself last year, just outside of Quero.

It is my first ranch to buy. I plan to sell it soon, but am still up in the air if I want to undertake developing it for commercial use or just fix it up and turn around and sell it. It is a beautiful place and I am quite excited about it.

What is the strangest experience you have had showing a ranch?

It’s funny, I have actually tossed around the idea of compiling a book on the funny and strange stories around the industry. Because it is fun to swap stories with other brokers and we all have a list of at least ten really funny things experienced on a showing. I have a ton of them, but the one that

communicating with attorneys, or spending time at a courthouse. It’s not just about “selling”, it’s about being the complete package to close the deal.

How has the industry changed over the years?

Having been on the sidelines of this industry for decades watching family members buy and sell ranchland, I’ve seen a huge appreciation in land values.

In the last 7 years as a broker, I have seen a huge shift in marketing techniques, especially online advertising. Buyers are more sophisticated. They understand the market better and its potential pitfalls. That makes selling a little more sophisticated of a business.

I have also experienced the Eagle Ford Shale, which is a real game changer for this industry. Five years ago, before the Eagle Ford was a common subject, not many buyers or sellers realized the massive impact that mineral ownership would have on their land investment.

How is the Eagle Ford changing the industry?

Mineral ownership is the dominant estate in Texas, therefore the mineral owner supersedes the surface owner. So, if you own the surface, but you do not own the mineral rights, that mineral rights owner, sitting a thousand miles away, or wherever, has the right to lease those minerals to an oil and gas company, giving them the right to use your surface to drill, produce, refine, and export their minerals. As only a surface owner, you cannot stop that

from happening.

I have met numerous people that bought land with mineral rights when there was no production. Now, they cannot spend their royalty money fast enough. There are Eagle Ford wells all over their ranch, and they may not like the traffic and noise, but they don’t mind getting that check in the mail!

I have also met just as many people who have had their recreational ranches ruined by drilling operations and sadly, they don’t own any of the mineral rights. If you have a listing with minerals, it is a lot easier to sell. If you have a listing without the mineral rights and there is production on the ranch, it is really a turnoff to potential buyers.

Even if a property is not in the Eagle Ford Shale, mineral rights are still hugely important. You never know when the next oil play is going to hit. You never know when new technology is going to come in with the ability to get to deeper oil and gas plays.

What do you think is the greatest benefit of owning land?

For me, the number one benefit is that when I lay my head on my pillow at night, I feel that my money is safe and sound in a land investment. I know the stock market is unreliable, volatile at times, and therefore, stocks are not what I want the bulk of my portfolio in. Second, while my land asset is increasing in value, I can make memories with my family on the ranch. I have an outlet for all my hobbies on the ranch. I enjoy the land. I have never enjoyed a gold bar or an account statement I get in the mail.

Where else have you lived besides Texas?

Right after I graduated from A & M, I went to China for three years on both a work and student visa. When I was there, I worked with a humanitarian ministry to both teach and help provide resources previously unavailable to them. At the same time, I worked for an American company that brokered deals between European and American companies and Chinese manufacturers.

You speak fluent Chinese?

Yes, I do. Basically, I was put into a classroom with only one other American, and my teacher who was Chinese, of course, and didn’t speak a lick of English.

I was frustrated for several months until, all of a sudden, it felt like my brain grew another gear. It took off from there. Immersion is for sure the key to learning a second language.

You are still very active in humanitarian work and the ministry. How

do you feel humanitarian/ministry experience has influenced your work today?

I would say, humanitarian and ministry work is very similar to sales. There are a lot of highs and lows. Just like I trusted God for the results of my ministry, I trust him now with the rest of my business. I have always told God that I would try and have a loose grip on whatever it is that I possess in this world, whether it is a dollar, a position or role, a job or even a relationship. In that same vein of thinking, I hold each sales deal with a loose grip. I can’t force people to pull the trigger and buy something. I just have to work hard and do the best job I can and trust God for the results. In ministry, I learned to sow seeds of faith very generously with a very broad target, knowing that I do not cause people to respond. I am just a messenger. It was very freeing for me to realize that. At the end of the day, the result is not up to me. That attitude helps me get through the highs and lows of selling land with a fairly even keel. I just work as hard I can, being the best at what I do as I can, treat people the way I want to be treated, and at the end of the day, I trust God with the results.

If you had to pick another career….any career…What would you do?

That is a hard question. I like a lot of different things. If I was making a career change to actually be successful, I would get into the land development business, in and around small oil towns in Texas. If it was solely for the fun of it, I would open a restaurant. I would hire an Aggie MBA to run it; and I would be the chef!

of what a person values: nature, family and independence.

What is the thing in life you are most proud of?

My two sons, Benaiah and Khyber. I just love them to death. Even though, they are still pretty young, I have made it my mission in life, to train them to be men of integrity. I cannot wait to teach them how to be a man. I am excited to see what they will accomplish in their lifetimes. My wife and I are just trying to be good examples for them.

Those are quite interesting names. Do they have a purpose behind them?

We wanted them to have unique names. Benaiah is a Hebrew name. In the Old Testament, he was one of David’s Mighty Men and known for being a hero. On his exploits, he killed several lions with his bare hands, very brave and courageous. I want my son to be a courageous person as he grows up and to know that he can kill the lions in his life.

As for Khyber, I did some humanitarian work in Pakistan and Afghanistan and drove through the Khyber Pass, which is basically the only way you can get through the Hindu Kush mountains, along the border. For thousands of years, it was a stronghold. Many conquerors tried to get through from Genghis Khan to Alexander the Great. They never succeeded. Khyber is of Hebrew origin as well, it means “fortress”.

What would you cook?

That is another thing about me…I don’t like to be put in a box. I like to cook all kinds of foods, Asian, Indian, Moroccan food; and then of course, wild game…I love to grill. I love to eat what I kill, quail, dove, deer. We haven’t bought beef or hamburger meat in five years. I just really enjoy cooking, trying new recipes and experimenting.

What is your favorite thing about Texas?

Definitely the culture! I love culture. I love learning about other cultures.

But, Texas culture is in my blood. Texans understand why other Texans believe that this is the best place to be from. Texans have a lot of pride in their state, their Alamo, their football, their Tex-Mex, their industry, as they should. Texans feel at home with Texans, no matter where they hang their hats.

Rumor has it you are quite a hunter. Tell me about hunting in Texas?

Well, I love to hunt, fish…Been doing them both for as long as I can remember. I enjoy hunting a variety of game, especially dove, quail, turkey and deer.

My favorite type of hunting, hands down is for quail. Working with the dogs is half the fun. I go quail hunting four of five times a year with my grandfather, who instilled his love for the sport in me. It is something I treasure doing with him. It really is an art and I will pass it along to my boys someday.

One of the things lately, that has been really fun, has been teaching my wife, who had never seen a gun, a ranch, or a deer before she met me. I have just as much fun helping her, as I do hunting myself.

And, then when the shoulder starts to hurt from shooting, we head to the coast to wade fish. Just another one of the things I love about Texas!

How important do you feel the “Recreational Ranch” is to the real estate in Texas?

Well it is the most important to me personally, not just because I make my living selling them, but because it is a part of the Texas dream. You know, you have the American Dream and then you have the Texas dream. Everyone in Texas knows someone who owns a “big Texas ranch”, whether it is 100 acres or 10,000 acres. To most Texans, ranch ownership is the ultimate expression

Rural property purchased in the eastern two-thirds of Texas will likely include a white-tailed deer population. If these deer are not managed, they will often multiply until their food supply is depleted and the habitat is damaged. When their nutrient intake no longer matches their body requirements, fawning success can be compromised. Due to an insufficient diet, bucks antler size may diminish.

Deer are wild animals and certain groups feel that nature should direct how they are managed. These people fight against the rights to hunt, maintain animal habitat, trap and transport wildlife or execute other needed management practices. They advocate that all animals will live in harmony with their environment if people leave them alone.

Often members of these groups do not understand biological and ecological sciences and are short-term thinkers. They may not be aware of the consequences in failing to exercise responsible habitat stewardship.

The late Dr. Larry Stoddard often began his first lecture in Range Ecology 101 at Utah State University by saying, “Gentlemen, we will talk a lot about climax communities in this class. A climax community is an ecological community where populations of plants and animals remain stable and exist in balance with each other and their environment. We will discuss how to move range plant communities toward climax, but it is a goal that cannot be obtained.

“The Garden of Eden was a climax community, but that all changed when Eve fed Adam the forbidden fruit. Every since that event, man has worked diligently to provide himself and his family with food, clothing, a climate controlled home, an automobile and other desired goods. Man in his efforts to satisfy his needs and wants, moved natural communities away from climax. As long as humans live on this earth in great numbers, climax communities cannot occur.”

What is the answer to this dilemma? Without our technologies and management skills, the world would be unable to feed our current populations of animals and people. We must continue to learn, improve and use the skills, necessary to help our ecological systems maintain themselves.

Habitat requirements for white-tailed deer and other wildlife include food, water, cover and space. Land managers need to understand how to provide and maintain these requirements.

LEOPOLD’S TOOLS

Aldo Leopold (1887- 1948), considered as the father of wildlife management in America, listed five tools used to destroy wildlife habitat and stated that these same tools can be used to restore and maintain it. Leopold’s list included the ax, cow, plow, fire and gun.

“The ax symbolizes brush control which can be accomplished with a variety of tools, including both mechanical and chemical,” says Steve Nelle, Range Conservationist and Wildlife Biologist, who retired from the United States Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS). “Base your brush control tool decisions on your specific goals for the ranch, giving strong consideration to the amount of brush to be removed, removal pattern, and method to be used. A few of the options are mechanical grubbing, roller-chopping, dozing, aerial spraying and individual plant treatment with herbicides.”

“Good deer habitat contains a diversity of woody plants (brush or browse), forbs (broad-leaf weeds) and grasses,” Calvin

by Robert Fears

Growing Big Deer Richardson wrote in Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service bulletin E-129. “A variety of food plants allow deer to select high quality forages throughout the year. The greatest forage supply for deer occurs before trees become large enough to outcompete herbaceous plants for sunlight, water and minerals. This is the reason that appropriately conducted brush management tends to increase deer forage availability.”

“Cover is also a vital component of deer habitat,” Richardson continues. “Brush provides cover for escape, shade and protection against weather extremes. Habitat with interspersed brush mottes (islands) and open feeding areas are far more valuable than habitat with a single large feeding area adjacent to a large tract of brush. The interspersion of food and cover provides an edge effect where two or more vegetation types meet and integrate. The significance of edge is that this region often provides a greater diversity of food plants and cover types to meet deer habitat requirements. Mosaic brush treatment patterns, which follow contours of the land and certain vegetation or soil types, provide the greatest amount of edge and appear to be the most beneficial to deer. This type of brush control is known as brush sculpting.”

Leopold listed the cow as the second habitat management tool. Properly managed cattle grazing can improve wildlife habitat by increasing plant diversity. The cow’s diet is primarily grass whereas a deer prefers forbs, browse, and mast (nuts and fruit). When you remove cattle from the habitat, a monoculture of grass can develop and crowd out the forbs that deer depend upon for a major portion of their diet.

The plow is used to plant food plots when it’s necessary to help deer survive cold winters and long, hot summers. Food plots can be used to increase nutritional quality and quantity of available forage; however, food plots should never be used as a substitution for poor habitat or to sustain an over-populated deer herd. If food plots are to be successfully established, they must be incorporated into a good management plan and be necessary for accomplishing sound management goals.

Fire, another tool listed by Leopold, is one of the oldest weed and brush control agents available to man and is an integral part of grassland ecology. Prior to range and wildlife habitat management by stockmen and wildlife biologists, nature controlled plant species diversification with fire lit by lightening. Prior to settlement of the United States by European immigrants, American Indians set fires to the range to destroy invading woody plants and to enhance grass production for buffalo. When people began to build communities in our country, they developed fire prevention programs to protect

their homes and other assets and quickly organized to extinguish wild fires when they occurred.

As land managers began to recognize and understand the negative effects on range resulting from the absence of fire, research was initiated to learn how to use controlled fires as a habitat management tool. The concept of prescribed burning was developed to help achieve a number of management objectives which include control of unpalatable forbs, grasses, and brush seedlings; removal of excessive mulch and debris; control of certain parasites and pests; improved nutrient cycling; and stimulation of new growth of forbs and brush. According to Nelle, fire can improve browse nutrition by increasing protein, TDN (energy), and mineral content by two to three percent.

The gun is a required management tool to control and manage deer populations so they don’t overwhelm their habitat carrying capacity. Nelle says that deer can destroy their own habitat if their numbers are not controlled.

NEWER MANAGEMENT TOOLS

“Additional management tools have emerged since Leopold’s time,” states Nelle. “A prime example of a new tool since Leopold’s time is high fences.”

High fence, 7½ feet or higher, is made of net wire and will restrain deer, exotics, and livestock. As a management tool, high fence aids the land manager in the improvement and maintenance of deer habitat and control of deer numbers. A high fence prevents the ingress of excess deer from neighboring properties and egress of good quality deer. Conversely, if improperly managed, high fences can also lead to habitat damage if deer or exotic populations are not controlled.

Selective deer breeding in a permitted facility also became a management tool after Leopold’s time and began as a novelty with the concept being created to satisfy a curiosity about the animals. Land managers wanted to learn more about deer – their behavior, diet and reproduction. The practice of deer breeding developed into an opportunity to improve deer genetics by mating selected does with bucks exhibiting desired traits. Improved genetics can improve antler size and animal vigor and produce animals that have a good chance of surviving in the wild. Deer breeding can only be conducted with a breeder’s permit issued by Texas Parks and Wildlife.

“Tools are neither good nor bad,” Nelle says.

“It is the skills by which they are used that determine whether they improve or destroy habitat.”

Information and advice on using the right tool at the proper time to successfully manage deer and their habitat can be obtained from many sources such as Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, Texas Parks and Wildlife, private consultants and other successful deer managers. Another good way to learn about deer management is by joining the Texas Deer Association.

Their members’ primary goal is to care for deer with improved habitat, nutrition, herd health and genetics.

Deer Management 101 While white-tailed deer management is not rocket

most people identify as weeds. Different plants have different

high school chemistry class, you spent a lot of time trying to

nutrients, so deer benefit from a diverse landscape. Diverse

science, it is similar to chemistry. If you’ll think back to your balance equations. For the desired reaction to occur, every

element had to be in the correct proportion to every other element.

In deer management, the elements of concern are

nutrition, age and genetics. When a manager understands

the impact of each of these and strikes a balance between them, the result is robust bucks and a healthy deer herd.

With that said, a deer manager should not start

tinkering with any of these individual elements without first

establishing a management goal for the property and the herd. This goal will be unique to your operation. Do you

want to manage for a maximum number of animals? Do you want to focus your efforts on producing high-quality animals? Do you want to do both? Are you producing these deer for your personal enjoyment or do you intend

to create a commercial enterprise? Do you want to manage intensively controlling as many variables as possible or do you want to let Mother Nature play a big role? Do you want

to concentrate on wildlife or will you be raising livestock as well? Do you anticipate adding exotics to your operation?

Ask yourself these questions and every one like

them that you can think of, and then answer them honestly.

Why? Because the answer to these questions will identify your

growing seasons and different plants contain different habitat is Mother Nature’s buffet, allowing the animals to pick and choose the foods that meet their nutritional needs at any given time.

High-protein pellets receive a lot of attention. While

pelleted feed can contribute to antler growth, it should be

used as a supplement, if it’s used at all. In our experience,

relying on high protein feed as your primary food source has

several built-in pitfalls. First, it can mask deficiencies in your habitat. Second, it can also be very expensive. Third, deer,

like people, have food preferences. Deer will eat protein

feed, but if given a choice they will select diverse plant sources first. To put it in perspective, if you were given the

choice between a buffet of freshly prepared, ever-changing food and a steady diet of high-fiber cereal, which would you

choose? In the realm of feed, corn is the equivalent of deer candy. It is an energy source and an effective attractant, but it is nutritionally deficient.

One of the keys to having productive habitat lies in

the concept of carrying capacity. Each piece of land can only

support a certain number of animals. If the deer population is greater than the carrying capacity, you run the risk of

having poorly performing animals and long-term habitat degradation.

To achieve your management goal, it’s important

to understand the role that nutrition, age and genetics play

in the development of individual animals, and therefore the herd.

Gathering population information through surveys

and then developing an on-going harvest plan based on (This is another deer management balancing act and we will cover this in-depth in a later article.)

Deer are browsers meaning they prefer browse, the

leaves and tender shoots of woody plants, and forbs, which

occurs when a buck reaches 6 ½ or 7 ½ years old.

In addition to antler development, mature bucks

play an important role in the social order of a deer herd

and may actually influence the timing of rut. Of course, the older, dominant bucks play a major role in breeding. In the

long-term, the quality of a deer herd improves if the biggest and best bucks breed the majority of the does. If all the

mature bucks are harvested, then your next generation of fawns will be sired by young and, possibly, inferior bucks.

A recent research study conducted by a team of

university wildlife biologists in the western states reached a surprising conclusion. The group analyzed 108 years of

data on the size of horns and antlers among 25 trophy categories in North America. They discovered that, over the

past century, the size of trophy horns and antlers for most species had declined slightly.

In searching for the cause, the team ruled out

several possible causes of the decline, including climate change, habitat alterations and the “sociological effect”

Many landowners aspire to practice Quality Deer

Management. The name has taken on a mystique, but it

is simply: “the voluntary use of restraint in the harvesting of young bucks, combined with an appropriate antlerless

harvest to maintain a healthy deer population in balance with the habitat.”

across the species, allowing fewer animals to reach trophy status prior to harvest.

The bottom line is that a buck will never express his

full genetic potential or pass along his DNA if he’s shot as a

youngster.

GENETICS:

Of the three elements of deer management, genetics

is probably the most discussed and the least important. It is definitely the most difficult to control.

All bucks are genetically predisposed to

grow a set of antlers with certain antler traits.

Some will grow big ones while others will grow small ones, some high, and

others wide. But genetic potential can

be masked by poor nutrition and youth;

therefore, some of the biggest management

gains are made by improving habitat and allowing bucks to mature.

Managing genetics within a free-ranging deer

herd can be the most difficult and confusing part of a deer management program. Selectively removing “undesirable” bucks through a culling program is the most common way of trying to influence the deer herd’s genetic profile. For a culling program to be successful, a manager must

have a very clear goal in mind and be able

to implement a very thorough, selective

harvest program that takes into account antler characteristics and age.

This is not a proposition to be entered into lightly

because it takes an on-going commitment to see results.

Each year, the undesirable bucks must be identified and harvested. In addition, does must be harvested aggressively to ensure that the habitat’s carrying capacity is not exceeded.

Land News TWA PUTS WRAPS ON WILDLIFE 2013

by Robert & Janelle Fears Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) closed another successful annual convention, Wildlife 2013. A record number of over 1500 people attended the four-day event that began on Thursday, July 11.

Many people used the convention as their vacation because there were activities for every member of the family – dad, mama and the kids. The meeting site, JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa also beckoned vacation. Amenities include a 36-hole PGA tour golf facility, fitness center, 26,000 square foot spa, seven distinct dinning options and a water park that offers six acres of heated pools, fountains, waterfalls and rivers.

Even with distractions of the resort offerings, the Wildlife 2013 actionpacked agenda drew crowds. On Thursday afternoon, a wildlife photography workshop was conducted at the Knibbe Ranch in Spring Branch. Professional photographers Sean Fitzgerald of Dallas and Larry Jay of Comfort were the instructors, and the photograph subjects were birds of prey from Last Chance Forever in San Antonio.

Friday was devoted to conducting TWA business. The morning was filled with meetings of the Desert Big Game, White-tailed Deer Management, Texas Youth Hunting Program Advisory, Conservation Legacy Advisory, Hunting Heritage Advisory and Legislative committees. The Texas Wildlife Association Foundation (TWAF) luncheon provided a nice break where convention attendees heard former NASA astronaut Charlie Duke Jr. of New Braunfels recount his 1972 trip to the moon and discuss, “Frontiers: Exploring Space & Natural Texas.” It was back to work in the afternoon with a joint membership and directors meeting during which new officers were elected for 2013-2014. Greg Simons of San Angelo is the new president, Marcus Barrett IV of San Antonio is vice president, second vice president for programs is Dr. Louis Harveson of Alpine (s three-year term) and J. David Anderson of Houston is treasurer.

The evening began with cocktails in the exhibit area and the TWA Ladies Reception. There were approximately 65 exhibits representing insurance, loans, jewelry, habitat management equipment, hunting vehicles, feed, seed, hunts, hunting equipment and various other needs of a wildlife enthusiast. Several land

50

and wildlife conservation organizations also exhibited. Following the receptions, TWA Convention Kickoff Dinner and Texas Big Game Awards Statewide Celebration were held.

Saturday was education day with seminars beginning after the TWA family breakfast. Topics of the seminars were effective private land and wildlife habitat management, proper taxidermy preparation, ten ways to make wild hog gourmet, and voluntary conservation practices – balancing wildlife conservation with oil and gas development in the Eagle Ford shale region of South Texas. Each speaker gave their presentation twice which gave people an opportunity to attend two of the four seminars. An estate planning workshop was conducted during the afternoon. All education seminars were informative, interesting and timely.

The TWA general session and awards luncheon was also held on Saturday. Following the TWA Presidential Address of Greg Simons, United States Senator Ted Cruz provided the keynote address, discussing issues such as protecting the Second Amendment and other individual liberties. The TWA Ray Murski Friend of Wildlife Award was presented to David K. Langford of Comfort, and the TWA Sam Beasom Conservation Leader Award was presented to Dr. Neal Wilkins of San Antonio. That evening, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott was a special guest at the TWA President’s Life Members and the TWAPAC receptions.

Little Lonestars’ activities were conducted concurrently with the adult activities. Children ages 3 through 12 are eligible to participate in this program which included activities such as an art and poster contest, a visit and learning opportunity by several ‘wild” friends, and outside hikes. The goal of Little Lonestars is to teach young people about the importance of habitat conservation on private land and to appreciate and value the tremendous efforts of landowners who help manage Texas wildlife. Marriott Range Riders provided child care and activities for the three-year-old and younger group, and archery and pellet gun ranges were available for 12 and older people.

Wildlife 2013 officially closed at noon on Sunday following a devotional gathering. The convention was a perfect mixture of business, education, networking, visiting and recreation. It was a great opportunity to see old friends and meet new ones. Plan to attend Wildlife 2014 on July 10-13 and take advantage of the opportunities it will offer. We’ll look for you.

Land News TEXAS DEER ASSOCIATION CONTINUES TO GROW WITH 15TH ANNUAL CONVENTION

by WM. Chase Clark

The Texas Deer Association (TDA) held its 15th Annual Convention on August 15 -17, 2013 at the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort & Spa in San Antonio. Nearly 2000 people attended the TDA event, representing an increase of 20% over last year’s total. The membership of the statewide association continues to expand with almost 500 new members joining at this year’s convention alone.

TDA members are deer enthusiasts. Many are private landowners seeking to gain knowledge and expertise in modern wildlife management techniques to improve wildlife populations and habitat. Attendees to this year’s convention were able to enjoy seminars with some of the nation’s foremost authorities in all aspects of deer management.

Many TDA members utilize the Texas Parks and Wildlife Deer Breeder Permit to improve the genetics of their native deer herds. The TDA convention hosted two deer auctions that shattered records nationwide for attendance and performance. Deer sold by breeders in these sales will be utilized to continue improve the quality of Texas’ deer herd at ranches all across the state.

The economic impact of this industry is greatest among rural communities where local vendors depend on the investments of private landowners to support their trade. The passion that these modern land stewards have for the deer on their properties leads to great improvements in habitat which benefits multiple wildlife species. Anyone who questions the passion of these land managers should attend a TDA convention, where that desire to support and improve Texas

deer is abundantly evident.

TDA continues to work closely with organizations and associations with common interests. This year’s convention was attended by representatives from Texas Wildlife Association, Exotic Wildlife Association, Dallas Safari Club, Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers’ Association, Venados de Mexico and North American Deer Farmers.

The convention was attended by several honored guests including Texas legislators and the Attorney General of Texas Greg Abbott. Attendees were excited to see television star Si Robertson from Duck Dynasty (sponsored by Lodge Creek Whitetails), and enjoyed a fantastic concert by Nashville recording star Kevin Fowler.

The TDA is proud to award annual scholarships to qualified candidates.

This year’s total of twenty students who received TDA college scholarships was a record for the Association. Applications from students, including essays and transcripts, are reviewed by the TDA Scholarship Committee.

“Setting records is nice; but the fun and camaraderie enjoyed by convention attendees is what made the TDA staff happy,” said Karl Kinsel, Executive Director. “Arts, crafts, face painting, games and movies entertained the kids. Antler scoring, camping survival, archery and wild game calling classes kept the youth engaged. A well-rounded agenda included a style show with brunch and cooking events. Live entertainment, hotel swimming pools, the 10th Annual TDA Bobby Marburger Memorial Golf Tournament, and a lot of good food completed the three days of activity.”

If you love deer and deer management, you should start making plans today to attend next year’s Texas Deer Association convention from August 7-9, 2014, which promises to be bigger and better than ever.

TEXAS DEER ASSOCIATION Defender of Hunting & Private Property Rights in Texas

PROTECTING OUR HERITAGE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS… HUNTER FREEDOM OF CHOICE The Texas Deer Association supports a hunter’s individual freedom of choice. Every hunter has personal preferences on how and where they like to hunt. The TDA will work to ensure hunters always have the liberty to choose.

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND Today, there are many who believe the state should dictate how you manage your land and its resources. The Texas Deer Association is a staunch defender of private property rights, and the TDA will always fiffiight so your land remains YOUR land.

YOU HAVE A VOICE The Texas Deer Association is a member-driven association, dedicated to sharing ideas and methods to improve the management and harvest of deer. Our members always have a voice; and your voice is heard, individually and collectively.

ACTIVE & ACCESSIBLE The Texas Deer Association is a very active organization with events and activities all across Texas. Our annual convention, regional meetings, banquets and seminars held in every region of the state, make it easy and fun to get involved.

TRUST THE LANDOWNER The Texas Deer Association understands that overregulation is not a sound wildlife management practice and too often leads to unintended consequences.

Land News JUDON FAMBROUGH SPEAKS AT TALB JUNE MEETING

by Robert Fears

Approximately 45 Texas Alliance Land Brokers’ (TALB) members and guests attended the June 26 monthly meeting at the Rough Hollow Ranch near Wimberley. The keynote speaker was Judon Fambrough, Senior Lecturer and Attorney at Law with the Texas Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University. Fambrough discussed the “Addendum for Reservation of Oil, Gas, and Other Minerals” issued by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC). The addendum is for realtors to utilize in any sales contract where the seller wants to reserve any mineral interest.

Fambrough said, “The Addendum was promulgated in 2008 and revised on December 5, 2011. It was drafted by attorneys addressing problems created by the development of the Barnett Shale in urban areas of Fort Worth. Because of this fact, the Addendum probably works for a .33-acre residential lot in downtown Fort Worth, but not for a 333-acre farm or ranch in rural Texas.”

An article appeared in the Winter 2013 issue of the Oil, Gas and Energy Resources Section of the State Bar of Texas magazine that bolsters Fambrough’s concerns over the addendum. Two attorneys, Celia Flowers and Melanie Reyes of Tyler wrote the article with the title, “Avoiding the Unintended Consequences When Drafting Mineral Reservation.”

The Addendum contains three primary sections. Section A defines the “Mineral Estate” as all oil, gas, and other minerals in or under the Property, any royalty under any existing or future lease covering any part of the property, surface rights (including rights of ingress and egress), production and drilling rights, lease payments, and all related benefits. Flowers and Reyes wrote that the usage of the term “Surface Rights” should have been omitted because it is synonymous with the term “Surface Estate” and creates confusion. Fambrough feels that the definition should be written as it is in a deed of trust from a foreclosure on the mineral estate – “… This is not a conveyance or an encumbrance of the surface estate, save and except for such rights of use and possession in and to such surface estate that may exist in favor or the grantor as the owner of the mineral estate, pursuant to applicable Texas Law.”

Section B of the addendum reads, “The Mineral Estate owned by Seller, if any, will be conveyed unless reserved as follows:

1) Seller reserves all of the Mineral Estate owned by Seller.

2)Seller reserves an undivided ___________% interest in the Mineral Estate owned by Seller.”

Flowers and Reyes had the following comments: (1) “A reservation of all the mineral estate includes a reservation of all of the surface estate by ‘The Definition’, so the buyer gets nothing. (2) The expression of a mineral reservation

54

Fa

l l

2013

is generally in terms of fractions, not percentages. Thus, a fraction may be placed in the blank and not a percentage, such as 1/4th %. (3) The language prohibits a reservation of a royalty interest.”

Fambrough’s comments on Section B were: “In addition to not being able to reserve a royalty interest, the language does not allow a substance-by-substance reservation – I want to convey the oil and retain the gas and uranium. What if the mineral owner also owns the groundwater. Would this be included in the term ‘Other Minerals’?”

Section C of the addendum gives the seller a choice of waiving or not waiving the seller’s surface rights including rights of ingress and egress. Fambrough said, “The waiver should have been limited to the implied surface rights to enter for exploration and production of minerals under applicable Texas law. By their definition, if you waive surface rights, you literally waive your right to use the surface for any purpose including a right-of-way access easement. You could landlock yourself.

Fambrough’s suggestions for dealing with the TREC Addendum in writing sales contracts are:

1) Drop the definitions from the addendum. Simply rely on applicable Texas law.

2) Provide an addendum (if any) for the reservation of minerals and/or royalties – not the mineral estate.

3) Provide another addendum (if any) for the conveyance (not waiver) of the implied right of ingress and egress for mineral exploration and production.

The addendum should say, “The seller conveys to the buyer all rights of ingress and egress for oil and gas exploration and production owned by the mineral owner under applicable Texas law. This right follows the land and is not personal right vested in the buyer. The grantee’s consent cannot be unreasonably withheld, but it shall be reasonable to exact payment and to impose …”

The above paragraphs relate only part of Fambrough’s presentation.

EXOTIC WILDLIFE ASSOCATION

by Charly Seale The Exotic Wildlife Association (EWA) has been extremely active over the past few months with the YO Ranch spring animal sale and two animal sales at Huntsville Livestock in Huntsville, Texas.

Prices were extremely high and have remained at that level over the summer. Private treaty sells are strong with a tremendous amount of new buyers getting into the industry. The oil business in Texas has been good for hunting and exotic wildlife sales.

Less than 10 percent of those ranchers who own one or more of the three species have actually applied for and received United States Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) permits to breed or hunt these animals.

The numbers of these animals continue to decline in Africa.

The EWA’s Trophy Game Records of the World’s annual hunting awards banquet was held in San Marcos, Texas. A record number of attendees made this a very successful weekend.

THE INDEPENDENT CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF TEXAS

by Bill Hyman Cattlemen have been busy ensuring that their livestock and wildlife receive adequate water and feed with the unchanging drought conditions. Strong cattle prices have helped but hay is in short supply with many ranchers looking out of state for additional purchases. Independent Cattlemen’s Association (ICA) continues to post hay suppliers information on our website www.icatexas.com. If you need hay or have hay to sell, please check this service.

States Fish & Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) efforts to reintroduce the Mexican Wolf into new areas of New Mexico, Arizona, Mexico and Texas where there have been no wolves for generations. Other discussions had to do with the unpassed Farm Bill; health issues of sheep and goats; marketing of wool, mohair, lamb and goats; water conservation; weather modification and legislative issues.

Bob Malone, former CEO and President of British Petroleum America, was keynote speaker for the last noon session. Malone is now a Sonora Banker and rancher. His very interesting talk was titled, “Can We Save the American Dream?

Paying the Piper Will Be Painful!” He touched on the world and national economy as well as energy issues and their affect on economic recovery. Energy production, mainly oil and gas, is at an all-time high and has fueled an economic boom for the Concho Valley of Texas, South Dakota and several other areas. Malone indicated that economic recovery will be sluggish at best, as a low growth of gross domestic product (GDP) will not be sufficient to generate new full-time well-paying jobs.

The 39th Annual Independent Cattlemen’s Association Convention was held in June in Bastrop. With top notch speakers and a diverse trade show, the attending members were both educated and entertained. Herd health, strategic financial planning, border security, and ranch management were all discussed and the meeting was concluded with Coach R.C. Slocum, rancher and retired Head Coach for Texas A&M as the guest speaker.

Convention entertainment included a golf tournament, dance, live auction, cooking demonstration, quilting bee and several social hours. Seven high school seniors from across the state were honored as the recipients of ICA scholarships. Overall, the convention was a resounding success and many members are making plans to attend the event next June in Beaumont.

TEXAS AND SOUTHWESTERN CATTLE RAISERS ASSOCIATION

by Carmen Fenton

In June, Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) members gathered in San Antonio for the annual TSCRA Summer Meeting.

Main topics of discussion included the changing infrastructure of the beef industry because of drought, the implementation of the state’s water plan, and an update on the Texas endangered species.

On the legislative front, TSCRA has continuously worked at the State Capitol to protect ranchers and landowners during regular and special sessions.

During the regular session, there were many attempts by pipeline companies to create an easier process for them to obtain common carrier status, and thus the power of eminent domain. TSCRA fought hard against proposals that would have severely limited landowners’ rights regarding pipelines and will continue to oppose these attempts in the future. We were also involved in property rights, water

legislation, animal disease traceability, fever ticks, and endangered species issues.

In Washington, D.C., TSCRA met with numerous lawmakers and staff, and was involved in discussions on the Farm Bill and immigration reform. We advocated a comprehensive five-year Farm Bill that maintains critical research and conservation dollars, and doesn’t include a livestock title or government mandate regarding on-farm production practices. On the immigration front, TSCRA is continuously working with Congress to stress the need for a common-sense, practical guest worker program.

We’ve seen many cattlemen and women at ranch gatherings, Beef Quality Assurance trainings, range and pasture field days, and our 2013 Ranching 101 Series. We hope to see more attendees at TSCRA approximately 25 ranch gatherings scheduled this fall.

We’re also looking forward to our annual fall meeting Sept. 25-27 in Grapevine at the Embassy Suites Outdoor World Hotel. The board meeting will be packed full of speakers and educational opportunities for TSCRA members and nonmembers. Check www.tscra.org for a complete list of upcoming events in your area.

Land sold in the first half of 2013 set percentage increases reminiscent

of the heady 2004-2005 era when an unprecedented land boom propelled prices higher and buyers snatched properties from the market as soon as the ink dried on the signature line on the listing. The 2013 prices weighed in at an 8 percent increase over 2012 price levels. As the price chart reveals, 2013 markets have more than recovered the setback suffered in the wake of the 2008 financial meltdown. At $2,480 per acre, the statewide price posted an all-time high in both nominal and inflation adjusted terms. The inflation corrected real price of $435 per acre reported in 1966 dollars amounts to the highest price ever seen in rural Texas land markets. These cold numbers reflect the feverish activity reported by very busy market participants who report seeing a strong demand for good quality cropland plus renewed interest in recreational properties.

The rest of the story lies in the volume of activity. Although prices

have moved strongly upward and brokers continue to show properties with increasing frequency, volume of reported transactions and total acres exchanged continues to lag behind historical levels. To date, the reported 2,112 reported sales falls short of half of the 5,116 sales recorded in 2012. However, the reporting process lags behind market activity and the final first half total will likely exceed the 2012 total. At 65 acres, the median size is the smallest tract size ever recorded in Texas markets. That means that total acres exchanged likely lagged far behind the totals exchanged in past years. So far, reported transactions have focused on smaller properties despite a noted revival of demand for larger recreational properties. These factors suggest that medium to larger ranches still attract few buyers willing to take the plunge. The result has upward price pressure on properties in favored classes, with sellers of larger properties still waiting for action. Activity in the small end of the market can translate into demand for larger tracts, as entrepreneurs convert them to smaller, more marketable properties. Perhaps the second half of 2013 will see some venturesome developers take the risk and pull the trigger on these larger properties. Stay tuned for results recorded in the second half of the year. The final measure of recovery will follow from increasing volume of sales as well as price increases.

150± Acres | Medina County | Property ID: 1356214 The word “unique” is used often is Texas Hill Country Ranch land, and this ranch could be called the same—but perfection is more appropriate. Every detail of the main home and the guest home was considered when creating this tranquil ranch. The well-conceived ranch boasts an improved whitetail deer population and abundant Rio Grande turkey. The ranch is well-watered with two privately owned water wells, as well as a third shared with the neighbor to the north. The entrance to Stony Ridge Ranch is lined with mature century plants (agave) and olive trees that take you past the high-fenced garden and into the high-fenced portion of the ranch (approximately 146 acres). The homes are perched atop a 1,253-foot hill that provides views for miles, both to the north and to south. There are constant views in all directions for most of the ranch, but the creek bottom has its own historic beauty.

As one of the highest points in the area and situated between two creeks, Stony Ridge Ranch once provided for the Coahuiltecan or Tonkawa Indians. There are “shelter” caves along the creek and Indian arrow heads can still be found in the area. There is also a clandestine cave located centrally on the ranch!

The Dipper Ranch has abundant water with 13 lakes and ponds, stocked with fish, as well as 1 water well.

Producing past contest winners scoring in the 180-190’s B&C and incredible mass up to 44 inches. Strict culling and a deep passion for allowing bucks to reach their full potential (passing on their trophy genes) has been the steadfast goal on this family owned ranch. Two sets of breeding pens enhance that goal. In 2010, 30 doe were bred by a (“native - born on this ranch”) typical 12 pt. 186 B&C buck. Outstanding improvements consist of three structures totaling 10 bedrooms, eight baths, three kitchens, and entertainment areas. There is also a covered barbecue pavilion, covered bench shooting range, very large attached metal building with very nice living quarters, vehicle storage, game processing, and walk-in cooler. A very important factor (as we all know due to the series of droughts South Texas has experienced) is that this ranch has excellent water availability. There are four wells and five earthen tanks, and Pena Creek with potholes transverses the ranch. Simply stated: This is one of the finest, proven trophy ranches in South Texas and one of the few with minerals.

645± Acres Fannin County Property ID: 244520 Beautiful land perfect for hunting, recreational, equine or cattle operation, or investment.

Hunt deer, turkey, hogs, dove, duck, geese, etc. With Fall grain production this land could be covered with doves.

Then with cultivation of winter wheat the goose hunting would be beyond anything expected in this area. Only 30 minutes from the Dallas suburbs and one hour or less to a major airport. Get totally secluded on your land yet be only 30 minutes from either of three different Walmarts. In the growth pattern of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and in the adjoining county from one of the fastest growing counties in the US for the last 10 years, it is a terrific land hold. If you remember the old addage that if it seems too good to be true, it probably isn’t. This definitely is the exception! Price: $1,400,000
