Property Profile:
This ranch is located 3½ hours from Houston, has excellent brush diversity, rolling hills, and deep sandy loam soils. The ranch has 4 water wells, one of them producing 160 GPM, and 20 concrete water troughs. The quail hunting is outstanding, and with the hard work already done, there is potential to have an incredible deer herd! 13 does (and this year’s fawns) out of highly reputable lines and bred to 200 B&C bucks this past season are included in a 3 acre Breeder Pen on the ranch. This high fenced ranch has frontage on Hwy 281 between George West and Three Rivers.
Terrain:
This ranch is a great representative of the South Texas Brush Country, and about 90% of the ranch has productive sandy loam soils. The terrain is made up of gently rolling hills with elevation changes of up to 100 feet offering beautiful views. There are bull mesquite and hackberry scattered all over the ranch. Native brush species include: guajillo, granjeno, guayacon, black brush, prickly pear, coma, cat claw, lime prickly ash, mountain laurel, and Texas persimmon. The brush does not get any better in South Texas.
Location:
This 1,968.57 acre property is located in Live Oak County between George West and Three Rivers on the West side of Hwy 281. This high-fenced ranch is part of the Sunset Ranch, and has great access with 0.6 miles of frontage on Hwy 281. It is a 5 minute drive to either George West or Three Rivers, both thriving South Texas towns. It is an approximate 210 mile drive from Houston, an approximate 75 mile drive from San Antonio, and an approximate 65 mile drive from Corpus Christi. Choke Canyon Lake, which has some of the best bass fishing in Texas, is only a 9 mile drive from the front gate of the ranch.

Hunting:
After 2 years of heavy game management, the ranch is ready for genetically superior deer to be introduced. The 3 acre high-fenced breeder pen on the ranch contains 13 bred does from the Sunset Ranch’s scientific breeder pens that are due to be released onto the ranch in the Spring of 2009. There are turkey on the ranch. The dove and quail hunting are also excellent. In fact, in the 2003-2004 quail season, ESPN filmed a hunting show on this particular portion of the Sunset Ranch, where they saw 22 coveys of quail in one morning.
Water:
This property has 4 water wells. There is a new well by the highway that produces 160 GPM, and an older well that produces 75 GPM. Another one of the wells is equipped with an electric submersible pump, and has the capacity to produce 15 GPM. This well supplies water to 20 concrete quail waters and cattle troughs throughout the ranch, via several miles of buried 1 and 2 inch pvc water lines. The other well is a nonfunctioning windmill that, when jetted recently, produced 10 GPM.
Improvements:
The entire 1,968.57 acres is high fenced with galvanized tight-lock fencing. There is some cross-fencing on the ranch, and a set of old cattle pens. There are approximately 7 miles of all weather caliche roads throughout the ranch. The ranch was “sculpted” with a Lawson aerator 2 years ago, and just this year the owners performed controlled burns on several sections of the ranch, encouraging more productive growth of desirable grasses for the quail population to thrive in, and dormant forbs to grow for the deer. There is a 3 acre high-fenced breeder pen with a water trough and Outback protein feeder on the ranch. This breeder pen contains 13 bred does. Also, 4 fiberglass executive hunting blinds and 4 Outback one-thousand pound spin feeders convey with the sale.
Minerals:
The owner does not own any minerals, so none are conveyed with the sale. However, the owners do have a 1% carried working interest in the 3 wells on this ranch, and that interest will convey with the sale.
Financing/Terms:
Cash at Closing.
Comment:
Bred Does:
The 13 does in the breeder pen are out of superior genetic lines, and are bred to some of the best breeder bucks on the Sunset Ranch. A separate information sheet with a list of the does, their sires, and which buck they are bred to will be provided. In short, a combination of 13 does are bred to several breeder bucks including: 1) Miracle Buck--a "Bambi 727" son, who is a 3 year-old scoring 181 B&C. He is a 6x7, and is 26" wide inside; 2) Big John--a buck that scored 225 B&C as a 3 year-old, with 48" of mass; 3) Red 76--a "Bambi Cactus" grandson, who is a 3 year old scoring 175 B&C; and, 4) Dillon--a 3 year-old buck scoring 201 B&C in velvet. The owner will loan a 170 class breeder buck to the buyer for the 2008 breeding season so the mature does will be bred when released in 2009.
