Back in the late 60's, early 70's, a friend of mine had a 5 acre deer lease up near Montalba, TX.
The area is known for it's sandy land and growing black eye, purple hull and a variety of other peas. . .
I can't say at the times I've been through there.
Back towards Athens, there's several big game
ranches and elk ranches and the former governor's
place, and his late son's place further toward
Montalba. And back on the opposite side of
the highway is the hf trophy ranch where that guy
that makes all those videos of his massive whitetail
archery kills. Almost the whole stretch of the
highway from Henderson cty to the other side of
Anderson has gone all high fence. Lots of massive
antlers for those so inclined and have the bank account
to play the game. Way way way out of my price range.
Sincerely happy for those that can
At least Montalba has the Dollar General.
About all I can afford in that area.
Used to have an affordable bbq sandwich joint.
Haven't stopped at the new Bradford cafe.
The old burnt down place was ok
