The white-tailed genetics within the area were stocked from the ranch’s own world-class typical breeding operation that once inhabited the ranch. The ranch offers renowned quail hunting and is a recipient of the T Boone Pickens Award.

Multiple food plots are in place to supplement the white-tailed deer population. 72 miles of tilled strips have been installed for quail hunting. Native grasses are prevalent throughout and mature hardwoods are located along Millers Creek and Horse Creek, which both traverse the property.

An annual supplemented release program of 4000 +/- quail was in place for many years. These would consist of Bobwhites, Gambel’s, and Tennessee Red Quail. Approximately 2000 bushels of wheat were used to enhance the quail food source per year. Deer - A world-class Texas Animal Health Commission certified white-tailed deer breeding operation was in place until a few years ago. Custom breeding facilities were designed and built on site including 62 acres of 16 individual pens. The breeding program had been in existence for 17 years and never strayed from its goal to produce giant typical antler growth.
