Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Local ranch for sale. You may like the trophy and gun rooms

Lots of big ranches around with no feeders or cultivation anywhere around. Some places have roads and autos too. No apache or comanch either.

Go forbid someone try to learn the natural food sources of the area, inspect a plant or shrub for signs of browsing, locate a funnel, a unique topographical feature or travel corridor to and from that source, set up an impromptu ambush in a transition zone between that source and a bedding area.

Ditto!!!!!! Quality. not quantity.

Nice!
They gotta be tough SOB's to live in that area.

slumlord, the habitat here is very different than your country and the wildlife, here do not have to go far for a natural food source
here water is the key to travel and bedding, travel corridors almost all lead to water, if you fly over this country in a chopper every water tank or laguna will look like the hub of a wagon wheel and the game trails will look like the spokes, leading to and from water.

A feeder with protein, supports all the critters and birds, not just deer, its a supplement, that helps support healthy growth, and
reproduction of all the critters and birds. if you hunt over feeders, you educate your wild life to stay away from the feeder.

That's why we place blinds on travel corridors, the capability of our hunter has a lot to do with where we hunt on the ranch and what type of blind we use, wheel chairs don't do well in the sand, disabled vets with 1 or more missing limbs have a hard tie climbing stairs to a elevated blind, that's why we have elevators on 3 of our blinds, many times we don't hunt from a blind. during the rut we walk and rattle a lot. If our hunter can handle the it.

What we work on is making every hunter successful , every animal is a trophy to the person that takes it. Rio7

Maybe you could teach Renegade that. It will save his nut zack and bung hole from the skeeters and chiggers.

I’ve hunted that ranch and sat down at the dining room table. Jim’s wife was quite a hunter and probably most of the mounts are hers.

One of the 2 most beautiful sights in America, Texas in your rear view mirror.

I'll second that !

Just a tad over my budget although now I'm wondering if the gun collection is gonna be downsized or sold off completely.

Dang! If I weren't allergic to sage...

I love the mountain states too but let’s not get nuts. A 13,000 acre ranch all your own isn’t exactly a bad thing! I’d take it in a heartbeat over any 100 acre parcel.

That price would equal a postage stamp lot on Golden Beach or Star Island.

Looks like they grow a lot of sand.

I know how you know. miles

Miles, Good Morning yes you would know how I know, you are one of the few Campfire guy's that have been here, and seen what we do and where and how we do it. If this China flu ever goes away, you need to come hunt and shoot with us again.

Yep, Texas, with it's mountains, plains, brush country, hill country, sea shores, coastal marshlands, deep canyons, deserts, piney woods, lakes and rivers is beautiful whether viewed through the front, back or side glass.

We're happy you're happy, and we have no interest in what state you're from.

If your state has it, odds are, we've got it too.

I would use my pocket change to buy that place. Just one problem. It's in Texas. Don't get me wrong. I like Texas. I've visited many times. Always friendly people. Some of Texas is real pretty. But Texas is HOT! And sometimes real humid. Too hot to live there during the summer. Too bad. A great place to visit for about 8 months out of the year.

Good thing that it's not humid down there.

Ok maybe on some mornings.

Nice house. Land is ugly.
