CH RANCH

422± Acres in Gillespie County, Texas Presented By Hood Real Estate Inc.

Encompassing 422± acres just 15 minutes north of Fredericksburg in Gillespie County, CH Ranch offers the desirable, but rare combination of privacy and accessibility.

For anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city for a weekend or a lifetime, the low-fenced ranch is less than one and a half hours from San Antonio and Austin. With about 853 feet of frontage on Highway 16 as well as a private easement, the coming and going is easy.

Large ranches adjoin the CH Ranch on three sides, creating an oasis of elbow room and privacy in one of the state’s most sought-after locations.

A gravel road leads from the private easement to the main improvements. Ranch roads provide access throughout the ranch for either a truck or ATV.

The Land, Water and Wildlife

The terrain gently undulates creating hidden nooks and crannies. It's not a property that shows all its secrets in a single glance. The ranch's elevation ranges from 1,300± feet at the lowest point to 1,755± feet at the highest point atop Solomon Mountain. Points throughout the ranch provide magnificent views as the Hill Country unfolds in eye-catching vistas.

Most of the cedar has been cleared from the front section, showcasing the heritage live oaks that dot the property and line the two seasonal creeks. In the creek bottoms, willows are also part of the mix. The back portion of the property retains the feel of untouched native habitat—a combination of cedar, mesquite and oaks—that provide food and shelter for wildlife. In their season, wildflowers blanket the strong soil in a vibrant, multi-hued quilt of color.

The ranch, which has not been hunted in 30 years, is home to white-tailed deer, turkey and feral hogs. Non-game species include ringtail cats, armadillos and rabbits. Coyotes sing to the moon.

A former coastal Bermuda hayfield provides a large clearing that could be reinvigorated as farm ground or repurposed as a wildlife food plot. A mesa, situated at the back of the property, delivers the chance to climb and enjoy a view that stretches all the way to Enchanted Rock. An old, stacked stone German fence decorates the mesa’s top and bridges the area’s vibrant past and the 21 st century.

Large ranches adjoin the CH Ranch on three sides, creating an oasis of elbow room and privacy in one of the state’s most soughtafter locations.

CH Ranch has two impoundments. The first lake, which sits at the convergence of two seasonal creeks, encompasses an estimated four to five acres during average rainfall years. The waterbody, with an expansive concrete dam, has been stocked with baitfish, so the first phase of building a productive fishery is complete.

The lake's perimeter is shaded by huge live oak trees. The dappled shade and cool water create a park-like oasis that beckons people to relax and reconnect, with nature—and each other.

The second smaller pond ranges between two and four acres during average rainfall years. In addition to the surface water, the ranch has four water wells.

The Living

CH Ranch features three distinct options for the best of Hill Country living. The three-bedroom/ two-bath Rock House, built in 1984 and completely remodeled in 2021, is constructed from native rock gathered on the ranch. The home, featuring about 1,700 square feet of comfortable, well-appointed living space, features a 43'x15' screened porch perfect for enjoying family and friends.

The detached 12'x12' laundry/storage room is also constructed from rock. During the recent

remodel a raised 24'x12' deck was built over the top, creating a covered BBQ alcove underneath.

The Main House, a massive barndominium, is the ultimate expression of style and practicality. The three-bedroom/two-bath limestone-clad home, measuring about 3,000 square feet, is the focal point. With a spacious kitchen, living room and eye-catching limestone fireplace, the house is designed to make friends and family feel right at home.

The complete barn is 9,180± square feet (153'x60') of which 3,000± square feet is a residence enclosed in a concrete block building. The barn's height is the equivalent of about 30 feet. Featuring all steel construction with cinderblock walls, the barn boasts four bays, each of which could accommodate a tractortrailer rig. The entry includes an 11'x60' covered porch with white wood railing.

The Hunter’s Cabin, rebuilt in the 1990s, sits about one-quarter mile from the main house. The two-bedroom/one-bath cabin with a kitchen and living room was constructed from granite collected on the ranch. A porch overlooking a seasonal creek, outfitted with a hot tub, is the perfect place to start or end the day.

Other infrastructure includes the Main House’s detached, cinder block garage (30'x29')

expansive enough to accommodate two tractors, a sheet metal garage with two rock cisterns (6' tall x 9' diameter), a 10'x10' storage shed, and the original steel livestock barn.

The Opportunity

Accessibility. Privacy. Wildlife. Natural beauty. History. Unlimited potential. CH Ranch offers everything that people look for in a Hill Country property but rarely, if ever, find. Don’t miss the chance to claim it for yourself.

Willow Wood Horse Farm

9.75± Acres in Tarrant County, Texas

Presented By Burgher-Ray Ranch Group

Located in the DallasFort Worth Metroplex

The house originally designed by Lou Simmons

Immaculate equestrian facilities

Willow Wood Horse Farm, located on 9.753± acres between Grapevine and Southlake in Tarrant County, combines stunning modern architecture with an equestrian lifestyle. With access from West Kimball Avenue, the property, which brings the best of country living to the city, is on the south side of Lake Grapevine and an easy commute to DFW International Airport.

As you enter the property on the south end, the land gently rolls and slopes, but once you head north, the elevation drops beautifully as it goes toward the lake. The farm backs up to a Corps of Engineers property that surrounds the lake and has access to a preserve/park.

The 4,353± square-foot custom home, designed by Lou Simmons and completed in 2022, sits atop the highest point on the ranch serving as example of elegance. A cobblestone drive leads to the main house, which features a massive glass door that is framed by beautifully understated koi ponds on either side.

After crossing the threshold, a grand view stretches through the living areas house, overlooking the 3,000-square-foot IPE back

deck, 80-foot-long saltwater swimming pool and on through the pasture to the equestrian facilities.

The stunning views are complemented by a warm, inviting and luxurious open concept living space that combines the living room, kitchen and dining areas. Custom quarter sawn walnut millworker can be found throughout the home. The kitchen is outfitted for a master chef with a full complement of Gagneau appliances. Just off the kitchen is a half bath and a butler’s pantry.

Each bedroom has a unique view of the property. The primary bedroom features a memorable view, a spacious walk-in closet, a bathroom with solid stone bathtub and wash basins by Piet Boone and Donrbracht platinum plumbing fixtures. The two additional bedrooms have en suite bathrooms with Donrbracht fixtures. All main rooms have Italian pocket door hardware with soft open/close features.

The custom-built metal framed staircase is an artisanal treat. The second floor viewing area, complete with a dishwasher, fridge/freezer/ icemaker, a dumbwaiter and floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that open to a covered porch and roof top IPE deck, showcases magnificent views of the grounds.

The lower level features an acoustically balanced theater with Dynaudio speakers and sound system designed by Ember Audio. The theatre includes a 250-bottle wine cooler, eightfoot concert walls and a powder bath.

Dynaudio speakers can be found throughout the home, powered by SONOS amplification.

Horse Canyon Ranch

Property ID: 22521606

While the Horse Canyon Ranch has plenty of the wide-open spaces that define the region, it is only 20 minutes from Van Horn, the county seat, and just over an hour to Marfa, one of Texas’ most beloved destinations. The ranch is nestled between the Jeff Davis Mountains and the Wiley Mountains. With its expansive views and desert climate, it is reminiscent of Arizona.

Because the landscape includes both desert rangelands and craggy, but accessible

mountains, the ranch is home to pronghorn antelope, blue quail and some Gambel’s quail as well as mule deer, aoudad sheep, freeranging elk and the occasional mountain lion or black bear.

For the past couple of years, the ranch has implemented a protein feeding program using approximately 22 feeders scattered across the property. Working with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the ranch team participates in aerial wildlife surveys.

Historically, used as a working ranch, the property has been rested from cattle grazing for the past few years. Horse Canyon Ranch is a recreational paradise with agricultural infrastructure including three sets of working pens. The ranch is divided into nine main pastures and three traps. The cattle operation could be easily reinstated as an additional income stream and range management tool. In good years, the carrying capacity is 300 to 350 head of mother cows.

The main headquarters includes a three-bedroom/twobathroom ranch house with a full kitchen, living room and central heat and air, a barn, a storage barn and a tack room as well as one of the three sets of working pens.

Horse Canyon Ranch offers a lifestyle as big as the West Texas sky. Here you can get away from it all and rediscover the peace that comes from elbow room and the grandeur of nature.

To experience the diverse, accessible beauty of Horse Canyon Ranch for yourself, call Howard W. Hood at (830) 7393815. The ranch is listed for $825/acre.

Los Hermanos Ranch

Between Hebbronville and Rio Grande City

Exceptional landscape and wildlife

Paradise for wildlife enthusiasts

422± Acres in Jim Hogg County, Texas

Presented By Hood Real Estate, Inc.

Located between Hebbronville and Rio Grande City near the small community of Guerra in Jim Hogg County, the 422± acre Los Hermanos Ranch is paradise for wildlife enthusiasts. Inside the eight-foot perimeter game fences, the native brush has been strategically sculpted to create a landscape reminiscent of Africa. White-tailed deer, quail and dove live alongside Axis deer, Scimitar-horned oryx, Fallow deer, aoudad, and blackbuck antelope. In 2021, the ranch began to improve the whitetail herd by replacing the existing whitetails with genetically superior individuals.

Other Texas resident species include javelinas, feral hogs, coyotes, bobcats, raccoons and other small mammals as well as innumerable species of reptiles and birds. Migratory waterfowl and songbirds pass through the ranch.

Recently upgraded, high-quality ranch roads combined with a system of viewing senderos makes the wildlife watching easy. Some senderos are outfitted with feeders while others feature wildlife guzzlers that provide life-giving water throughout the ranch.

The ranch contains two water wells, a windmill and a small stock pond. The water treatment infrastructure was recently upgraded.

The headquarters compound with the ranch’s 6,000± square-foot hacienda, recognized by the Texas Society of Architects for outstanding design, is arguably the focal point.

The three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath hacienda, constructed in an upscale style reminiscent of Mexico, is built around a central courtyard and features a watch tower. The wood shank roofing has been recently replaced with durable aluminum lookalike roofing.

The watch tower patio is a literal high point for entertaining. The area is appointed with a grill as well as a dining table and a bar.

The courtyard is anchored by a central fountain and features four sitting areas perfect for gathering. The patio/courtyard also features a 20’ x 20’ dining area with a built-in grill, large fireplace and large sink. A large, round lazy Susan table with eight chairs allows for relaxed dining year-round.

The home is perfectly suited to the region. Large windows and soaring ceilings create a sense of light and air. In a nod to truly unique style, the ceiling in the elegant dining room and the unique study are arched red brick with white mortar.

Designed to host memorable meals, the formal dining room features a table that can seat up to 12. Custom cabinetry displays valued collections.

The well-equipped kitchen combines the modern efficiency of top-quality appliances with the solidity of stone countertops and custom cabinets. A large window allows prepared food to be easily passed for courtyard service.

An in-home office, located just off the great room, features custom woodwork that creates a

unique display space for collections.

The opulent master features a large walk-in closet and an en-suite, spa-style bath with a walk-around shower overlooks the nearby pool and offers direct access to the courtyard.

The other bedrooms, each with their own baths, are situated around the courtyard, as is the high-capacity laundry facility.

Two additional residences built in the same style are close to the main house. The openfloor plan houses can be used for guests or staff.

In addition to the residences, the main compound includes a large-scale equipment barn, an equipment shed used to park hunting vehicles, a garage with roll-up doors, an expansive workshop outfitted with a complement of tools and a set of livestock working pens. Hunting enthusiasts will appreciate the walk-in cooler and game processing area.

The ranch now features a cleared, grass landing strip, a 5-acre soft release pen, a sporting clay course and a rifle range.

Most of the ranch equipment (including a John Deere tractor, an electric Cabra TopDrive with an onboard generator, a skidsteer, a jeep, a riding lawnmower and three four-wheelers) as well as all deer stands, feeders and sporting clay equipment and most of the furnishings, art, taxidermy mounts and collections will convey with the sale.

Less than 2 hours from San Antonio Airport

Produced greatest performance horses

Located in the “South Texas Golden Triangle”

Piloncillo Ranch

53,000± Acres in Dimmit, Webb, La Salle Counties, Texas

Presented By ICON GLOBAL

The spectacular Piloncillo Ranch offering provides an extraordinary opportunity to acquire and own approximately 53,000± acres of a 106,000± acre legendary operation, situated in the famed South Texas Golden Triangle and steeped in remarkable history. (Offering herein is for a currently undivided interest (approximately 50 percent) of a jointly owned 100 percent holding).

Piloncillo Ranch is located 6 miles South of Catarina, Texas, which is 1 hour and 45 minutes from San Antonio. The sprawling ranch lies in Webb, Dimmit, and LaSalle counties, and is accessed by either FM 133 on the north end of the ranch, or US Hwy 83 which runs north to south through the ranch.

“Known as one of the best low-fence hunting ranches in South Texas, the properties long and deep ties to the American Quarter Horse Association, the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raiser’s Association and the oil and gas industry, provide incredible provenance and an unmatched pedigree,” said Bernard Uechtritz of Icon Global. “Sequestered within a patchwork of premier and renowned name large ranch holdings the Piloncillo provides a rare opportunity to make big, simply bigger and better.”

The region is legendary for producing trophy white-tailed deer. The 106,000± acre Piloncillo Ranch embodies the true South Texas ranching experience, combining the western heritage of cattle ranching, the joy of hunting with family and friends, and memory-making social hours that stretch late into the night.

This ranch is part of a larger family ranching legacy that produced some of the greatest performance horses in the cutting and roping industries. In an area of the state where cattle kingdoms were created, the Piloncillo Ranch’s Hereford cattle helped set industry standards. The ranch’s reputation as a hunting destination is equally impressive.

The terrain is mostly flat to rolling interrupted on the ranch’s east side of

the ranch by an escarpment that runs from north to south. The elevation change offers opportunities to enjoy stunning sunsets. The soils on the ranch vary from fine sandy brown soils, which reflect the ranch name, Piloncillo, which translates to brown sugar, to deep fine loamy soils. The varying soils support a mixture of South Texas brush species as well as native grasses and beneficial forbs.

The protein provided by the vegetation and rich soil combined with the white-tailed deer genetics in this region provide great hunting opportunities. The ranch participates in an MLD deer management program and leases the hunting via a seasonal hunting lease operation. Javelina, bobwhite quail, scaled quail, mourning dove, white wing dove and feral pigs are present on the ranch as well.

Several small lakes located on the ranch offer fishing opportunities. Some of these lakes have deep water wells adjacent to them which allow the water levels to be maintained.

The improvements to the original ranch include the main ranch house that is set up for entertaining guests. A hunting camp lodge, several employee houses, numerous equipment and livestock barns, and several cattle pens located throughout the ranch. The ranch has a 5,000-foot private asphalt runway on the Northeast side.

Piloncillo Ranch has an extensive road system. Most of the roads were constructed and are maintained as part of the energy company lease that is in place. Portions of the perimeter are high fenced.

Currently the ranch operates a seasonal stocker grazing program from September through May. The number of cattle and length of grazing season are determined each September based on rainfall conditions during the growing season.

GILLILAND, PH.D.

Research Economist, Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University

The slowdown in sales volume continued with preliminary 2024 sales dropping 10.3 percent from 2023 totals to 3,161 sales. That volume posts a 62 percent retreat from the 8,350 sales reported in 2021 and is well short of the 4,849 sales booked in 2015. However, the number of acres increased to 284,886, a 6.2 percent rise above 2023 totals. Total dollar volume also increased 7.62 percent to $1.35 billion as price continued to increase a meager 1.34 percent to $4,751 per acre. The increases in acreage and total dollar volume suggests that the decline in sales activity may be approaching an end. However, regional trends varied.

Panhandle and South Plains

Prices in this region increased 4.3 percent to $1,751 per acre with the number of acres dropping 18.5 percent to 318 sales totaling 48,875 acres. However, the number of sales faltered, declining 10.4 percent to 318 sales. Total dollar volume also slipped in this region, falling 15.0 percent to $87.7 million. The slow volume and dropping total dollar volume suggests the market remains weak.

Far West Texas

Price increased to $616 per acre, a 5.1 percent increase. The region reported only 10 sales for the fourquarter period, down 35.4 percent. Typical size was 18,002 acres.

West Texas

West Texas prices recovered some momentum, up 4.0 percent to $2,507 per acre. However, sales volume expanded in this region, rising 10.7 percent to 455 sales. Total acreage grew 13.0 percent to 70,809 acres with total dollar volume expanding 17.5 percent to $177.5 million.

Northeast Texas

Prices in this region continued to rise, up 2.1 percent to $8,331 per acre. However, the higher prices continued to depress volume with the 731 sales marking a 33.8 percent drop from 2023. A total of 22,031 acres sold, a decline of 39.8 percent. The drop in volume pushed total dollar volume down 38.5 percent to $183.5 million.

South of San Antonio prices dropped 6.4 percent to $5,815 per acre, but sales volume expanded 2.8 percent to 297 sales. With total acreage climbing 8.4 percent to 23,009, total dollar volume remained nearly steady, rising a mere 1.5 percent to $133.8 million.

Austin-Waco-Hill Country

Prices increased 2.5 percent to $7,310 per acre. The number of sales expanded 2.3 percent to 897 transactions. However, total dollar volume grew by 11.1 percent to $331.2 million. Total acres rose substantially, up 8.4 percent to 45,301 acres. 5

Prices in this region reached a record high at $10,028 per acre, up 4.7 percent. Volume slipped down 4.2 percent to 453 sales. However, total dollar volume inched up 6.4 percent to $183.0 million. Total acreage also rose 1.6 percent to 18,250 acres.

The Future

Despite price increases in six regions and strengthening total dollar volume, statewide prices barely rose. The aftermath of the buying frenzy appears to be settling into a more orderly market. Economic conditions appear to be stabilized with most observers foreseeing a modestly positive year ahead. Land prices appear to have reached a plateau. °

STORY BY LORIE A. WOODWARD

PUTTING BOOTS ON THE GROUND

FOR LANDOWNERS

For 40 years, the Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) has been putting boots on the Capitol grounds on behalf of Texas landowners, land managers and hunters.

“In 1985, a small group of Texas landowners and wildlife biologists founded TWA to be the voice for Texas’ wild places, wild things and the people who care for them,” said TWA president Jonathan Letz, a sixth generation Texan who manages his family’s ranching operation in Kerr County. “As an organization, it is our honor and responsibility to advocate for our critical natural resources and private landowners who steward those resources for every Texan.”

Despite 94 percent of Texas being privately owned and stewarded, landowners make up a very small percentage of the state’s ever-growing population. According to the most recent Texas Landowner Survey released by the Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute, landowners comprise one percent of the state’s residents.

And yet, the impact of private land stewards is tremendous. For instance, TWA counts 7,500 landowner, land managers and hunters on its membership rolls; collectively these members own/manage 35 million acres of working land across the state.

TWA CEO Justin Dreibelbis said, “While our numbers are relatively small, landowners play a disproportionate role in safeguarding the state’s natural infrastructure that supports its economy and quality of life. TWA brings landowners, land managers and hunters together and amplifies their voice, so it can be heard over the clamor of urban and suburban interests.”

And perhaps, there has never been a more important time

for Texas landowners to be heard. The state’s growth, which has been on an unprecedented increase since the 1990s, has pushed the Lone Star State’s population to more than 30 million, most of whom live in cities and suburbs. In the process, it has created a voracious demand for water, building materials, energy and land for sprawling infrastructure.

“Ironically, our working lands and all the valuable ecosystem services they provide are under siege at the moment in history when we need them the most,” Dreibelbis said.

In fact, Texas holds the unenviable distinction of losing open space working lands—nature’s factories for clean air, plentiful water and biodiversity—faster than any other state in the nation. According to the Texas Agricultural Land Trust, Texas is losing this vital land at a rate of 42.6 acres per hour or more than 1,000 acres per day.

Letz said, “Because the vast majority of the state’s population is so far removed from land and the natural world, there is a big misconception and lack of understanding about the connection and inter-relationship between our natural resources and the urban and suburban areas of the state. Not only does this make our advocacy more challenging, but this reality also makes it more crucial.”

In 2023, the Kinder Institute for Urban Research at Rice University reported that Texas was 83.7 percent urban. This demographic reality is reflected in the political landscape as well as the geographic one. In the aftermath of federal redistricting in 2021, Texas’ representation was even more decidedly urban. Out of the 31 Texas Senate seats and 150 Texas House seats, only three are now considered rural districts, or districts where most counties have a population of less than 100,000 people.

As result, TWA’s advocacy is education forward. To supplement its outstanding duo of lobbyists, Joey Park and Mignon McGarry, and the organization’s staff, the officer team and members are regular fixtures during the biennial session. The most notable presence is the biennial “Boots on the Ground” gathering where members from across the state congregate in Austin during early February to meet with their legislators. This year’s event was held on February 4-5.

“Nothing is more effective than legislators and their staff members hearing their constituents’ experiences and concerns first-hand,” Dreibelbis said. “Connecting names, faces and stories to an issue, transforms it from theoretical to personal because then it matters to real people in the real world.”

Through the years, TWA’s signature mix of educational advocacy has delivered big wins for Texas landowners. The organization’s greatest hits for land, water and wildlife include expanding agricultural and forestry tax valuation to include wildlife management, strengthening landowner liability protection, codifying land stewardship as a recognized water management tool in the state’s water plan, and helping create the Texas Farm and Ranch Land’s Conservation Program among many others.

Letz said, “From the beginning, TWA and its members have walked the walk while talking the talk on behalf of wildlife, habitat, landowners, private property rights and hunters. Our state leaders know that we combine sciencebased information with a commitment to doing what is right for wild things and wild places.

“And as a result, we’ve earned an excellent reputation as trusted allies which has translated—will continue to translate—into success for everyone and everything that depends on rural land.” °

TWA’s Legislative Priorities

89 th Texas Legislature January 14, 2025 – June 2, 2025

During the 89 th Session of the Texas Legislature, TWA will focus its educational advocacy on the following areas:

Texas Parks & Wildlife Funding

• ◦ TWA supports funding for TPWD to ensure the agency can address its needs and maintains that dedicated funds continue to be directed to the department.

• ◦ TWA supports $30 million over the biennium for the Texas Farm & Ranchland Conservation Program, our most valuable tool in keeping working lands intact for generations.

Groundwater Ownership & Conservation

• ◦ TWA supports the Texas Constitution and more than 100 years of caselaw in protecting and reaffirming that groundwater, including brackish groundwater, is the vested, real property of private landowners.

Renewable Energy Development

• ◦TWA supports innovative solutions to ensure that the siting of renewable projects mitigates impacts to neighboring lands and minimizes disturbance to native wildlife while protecting private property rights.

Wildlife & Disease Management Issues

• ◦Public ownership of wildlife is central to the North American Model of Conservation. TWA strongly opposes any effort to transfer Texas native wildlife to private ownership.

• ◦ TWA supports tax policies and other tools that ensure property owners' ability to effectively manage their lands and resources for the benefit of all Texans.

TEXAS BRIGADES

A Q&A with JEFF PETTER AND ELIZABETH PALARSKI

STORY BY LORIE A. WOODWARD

FOR MORE INFORMATION, CHECK OUT THE FOLLOWING ONLINE RESOURCE:

Texas Brigades

In Texas, landowners comprise just one percent of the state’s population, yet their hands-on stewardship provides ecological benefits including wildlife habitat, clean air and water that benefit everyone who lives here. With so few people caring for wild and working lands, there is a growing disconnect between the natural world and most of the 30 million people who call Texas home.

For more than 30 years, Texas Brigades has been helping to bridge that gap by striving to “develop conservation leaders in every community.” The non-profit organization accomplishes this through several programs. Its most popular offerings are 10 intensive conservation leadership summer camps— nine in Texas and one in North Dakota. The camps are held in June and July.

The camps use the habitat needs of different focus species, ranging from white-tailed deer, bobwhite quail and waterfowl to cattle and saltwater fish, to instill the principles of natural resources management and stewardship in youth ages 13-17. The five-day immersive, hands-on experiences are taught by leading conservation professionals from agencies and universities as well as respected private practitioners.

The camps host between 24 and 30 students, and the ratio of adult instructors to students is almost 2:1. The experience is intimate by design, so real connections and networks are built easily.

The curriculum, designed so each activity prepares students for the next, is a balanced mix of classroom lecture, hands-on field work, communications training, friendly competition, team building and leadership exercises. Planned activities start before daylight and generally end around 11 p.m.

When students return home, they are challenged to keep learning and spreading the conservation message in their hometowns by speaking, putting up scientific posters and conducting media interviews as well completing hands-on land-based activities. To incentivize them, the students can complete activity books and submit them the following spring to earn a chance to be a peer mentor and scholarships for college or trade schools.

Knowing that applications for this year’s summer camps are open through March 15, I sat down with Texas Brigades Board President Jeff Petter and Texas Brigades Program Manager Elizabeth Palarski to discuss the life-changing program. Both Petter, 44, and Palarski, 25, participated in the program when they were teens.

1

What is the essence of Texas Brigades?

EP: Texas Brigades was founded in 1993 by Dr. Dale Rollins with the launch of a single summer camp, the Bobwhite Brigade. The summer camp program, targeted to students 13-17, is our most popular, but we also have W.I.L.D., a one-year conservation leadership program for college-age students and Brigades Experiences, which are one-day programs for students aged 9-17.

At their core, all these programs exist to create conservation leaders in every community. To do that we give students knowledge in land, wildlife, fisheries and livestock and pair that with leadership and communication

skills to empower them to go back into their communities and spread the conservation message.

We are an intensive leadership program that uses animals to deliver important information in a fun and engaging way. We host 10 total camps: two Buckskin Brigades focusing on white-tailed deer, two Bobwhite Brigades focusing on bobwhite quail, two Waterfowl Brigades (one of which is debuting this year in North Dakota) focusing on waterfowl, one Bass Brigade focusing on freshwater fisheries, one Coastal Brigade focused on saltwater fisheries and two Ranch Brigades focusing on cattle and land stewardship.

What sets Texas Brigades apart from all the other camp and leadership experiences out there?

EP: From my perspective, it’s the connections. To this day, one of my best friends is a person who was in my covey (small group) at Bobwhite Brigade when I was 13.

And you make so many amazing mentor connections as well. When it came time for me to go to college and I needed letters of recommendation and introductions, my Brigades adult network was ready to do whatever I needed done. The same thing happened as I started looking for jobs. The community that exists around Brigades is incredible.

On top of that, Brigades pushes students to go beyond their comfort zones and grow. As a 13-year-old girl, I didn’t recognize how valuable that was—and is. These experiences are intense and rigorous, but it inspires and allows to students to do things they might never try and accomplish in their everyday lives. A lot of growth and confidence happens when we discover that we can survive being uncomfortable—and if we do it enough, meeting challenges gets to be normal and comfortable. JP: Plus, we have high expectations at Brigades. Unlike a lot of the rest of the world currently, we don’t lower the bar. Our experience has taught us that people rise—or fall—to expectations. We help young people rise by equipping them with the skills they need to achieve goals at camp and in life.

Of course, it’s one thing to have high expectations. It’s a completely different thing to have high expectations and then create a

safe space filled with experienced, enthusiastic adult volunteers who donate a lot of time and energy just to see young people soar. We specialize in helping young people find their wings—and use them.

3

Knowing that each camp is unique within the shared program model, describe a typical day at a Texas Brigades camp. EP: Each camp is different, but they all operate under a shared program model where every minute is accounted for, and the students are busy. Generally, everyone is up at sunrise or before and most days start with the small groups marching to cadences. While marching may sound like a strange choice, it builds teamwork in a way that not many things can.

To understand the model and the experience, it helps to know our motto: “Tell me, and I forget. Show me, and I remember. Involve me, and I understand.”

The days are built around hands-on activities that reinforce everything the students are learning in the classroom. For instance, if there’s a session on plant phenology or plant identification, it’ll be followed up with field work such as making a plant collection. As another example, we teach students to understand the animal species inside and out by having experts do necropsies, which are essentially dissections. Students put their hands on things all day long.

In between, there are competitions, leadership activities, journaling, photography, public speaking and projects like creating scientific posters or PowerPoints.

I tell parents and students that there is something for everyone, and if you don’t like one activity just wait 30 minutes because you’ll be up to your elbows in something different.

JP: Frankly, camp is a misnomer for what Brigades offers, it’s more like a college minimester rolled into a fun internship. I prefer to call them life experiences.

Every day is pretty much the same. It’s a lot of pulses of high energy throughout the day that are followed by lower the energy pulses for classroom sessions or workshops, and then it’s another pulse of high energy.

There’s a method to the madness. First, these energy pulses keep everyone engaged. At South Texas Ranch Brigade, where I volunteer, we have ranch competitions. We’ll go out and practice roping, fence building, goat sorting and ranch chores which gets the students’ blood pumping, works up a sweat, releases the fidgets and clears everyone’s brains. When we come back into the classroom for a lecture, they’re ready to be still, focus and listen.

Plus, keeping teenagers busy and tired means they don’t get into trouble. When it’s time for lights out at midnight, they’re ready to be in bed sleeping.

4

How do people apply?

EP: It’s easy. Go to our website Texasbrigades.org/applications and fill out an application. Select your top three choices for camps. Camps are open to students ages 13–17. While most of our participants are from Texas, students do not have to be a Texas resident— or in the case of our new North Dakota camp North Dakotans.

The cost is $500 per cadet. Tuition assistance is available, so don’t let the fee deter anyone from applying.

Applications are due March 15, 2025. People will be notified of camp placement by April 15, 2025, for the camps which are held in June and July.

Adults, preferably over 21 years old, who are interested in volunteering to help with camp— and we need a lot of them—can find out more information and apply on the same website.

5

Why should parents and students invest five days in a Texas Brigades camp?

JP: If you lean into the experience, Texas Brigades will give you skills you never knew you needed and confidence like you can’t always imagine. Parents time after time have told me, “My kid is a different kid after camp.” Texas Brigades is a life experience that changes you for the better—for a lifetime. °

BW Ranch

1,874.83± Acres a natural hill country beauty

Bandera County

Sitting on the headwaters of Myrtle Creek in a ruggedly beautiful box canyon in Bandera County, BW Ranch offers live water and some of the most magnificent views in the country. The 1,874.83± acre ranch, which fronts FM 2828, is just 12 miles from Bandera, 17 miles from Kerrville (and its airport with two runways up to 6,000 feet), and 42 miles to San Antonio.

Land, Wildlife and Water

In Texas, it is rare for a ranch to include a stunning viewshed as a primary asset. The BW Ranch showcases 24 peaks, expansive valleys and views that stretch to Bandera, Kerrville and Medina.

The ever-changing landscape is enhanced by diverse vegetation. Cypress trees surround the main lake. Pecan trees shade the valley. Live oaks and Spanish oaks dot the native grasslands. A lone bull mesquite shades the pavilion. Cedar has been aggressively cleared

and prescribed burns have been used to clear and reinvigorate the land. As a result, desirable native Hill Country browse provides a nutritious buffet for wildlife.

Whitetails that benefit from enhanced genetics, Rio Grande turkeys, dove and bobwhite quail are native to the ranch. A herd of bison, numbering upwards of 50, graze the flats and hillsides. Auodad sheep along with blackbuck antelope, axis, fallow and sika deer also call the ranch home. Other wild denizens include coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions and a host of other nongame species and songbirds.

Year-round Myrtle Creek brings life-giving crystalline water to the property. It feeds nine dammed ponds, making water for wildlife easily accessible throughout the ranch.

An 8± acre spring-fed lake, stocked with largemouth bass enhanced by Florida bass genetics, blue cats, blue gills and sun perch is arguably the recreational focal point.

Anglers have landed some bass that tipped the scales at more than 14 pounds. A boat house, with a bathroom, a fish cleaning station and a pontoon boat, ensures that family and friends can make the most of the clear, inviting water.

The ranch boasts a second spring-fed lake, which is smaller. It, too, is stocked with desirable fish for additional angling fun.

Living

The three-bedroom/two-bath ranch house reflects its setting. Native limestone defines the exterior and interior flourishes including the impressive fireplace. Built with an eye to simple, comfortable elegance, the bright, airy home combines soaring ceilings, shiplap, warm wood accents, Saltillo tiles and oversized windows. In the sunroom, which overlooks a pond surrounded by a bounty of native vegetation, the line between outside and inside is seemingly invisible.

In addition, the home’s open floor plan includes a well-appointed kitchen, living room and trophy room. Its aesthetic and design invite gathering.

Building sites, with exceptional views, abound. The possibilities for creating a livable masterpiece built to the new owner’s taste and specifications are limitless. A nearby open-air pavilion, reminiscent of old-time Hill Country dance halls, takes the party outside. The pavilion, which follows the architectural theme of the main house, includes a full kitchen and large fireplace.

The comfortable three-bedroom, twobathroom caretaker’s quarters with a full kitchen and large porches, front and back, is situated nearby. Currently, it is used for employee housing, but could host overflow guests.

Infrastructure

More than 25 miles of improved roads stretch to the highest peaks and most far flung corners providing complete, easy access.

The main barn (approximately 40x60foot), which is constructed from metal and insulated, features four horse stalls, an office with a shower, a tack room and a tool room. Twelve-foot-tall doors on both ends keep equipment access simple.

An equipment barn (approximately 20x45foot) with a game cleaning station that includes winches, running water and a walk-in cooler rounds out the infrastructure.

The Opportunity

The Hill Country is known for its live water and breathtaking scenery, but it’s rare to find a ranch that has both with plenty of elbow room. The fact that BW Ranch is also conveniently located to small towns and San Antonio makes it one of one.

proper, who did not get along with the other Native Americans at the existing missions. The mission was named by Capt. Manuel Ramírez de la Piscina, who was stationed at nearby Presidio La Bahia, for the church in hometown in Spain.
