ecently I read somewhere, “In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.” As a guy who likes…no wait loves land...I get that. Although my thumbs are not remotely green, I want to go dig, plant and improve. Warm weather and blue skies makes it hard to be confined by office walls. Who wants to host conference calls as the trees, shrubs and grass transition from dull, dead browns and grays to vibrant green? Who wants to reconcile invoices when wildflowers make their brief but exuberant appearance? Who would rather watch stock market tics instead of wobbly legged animal newborns taking their first steps? Spring is the year’s most hopeful season. After the cold, damp, dark winter, the sun invigorates our spirit. It bodes of all the good things to come. Spring is a season to be bold. If you’ve ever wanted a piece of Texas land, now is the most beautiful time to search for it—and the most practical time to claim it. Buy now and you’ll get to enjoy it through the lazy days of summer, the crisp transition of fall, and the winter holidays that call for special places to host family and friends. In our pages you’ll find the best properties that Texas has to offer. Regardless of the season, they’ll bring you and yours comfort and joy. There’s not another investment on the planet that can deliver that emotional bang for your buck…or let you play in the dirt.

THIS IS TEX AS
In a follow-up to one of David Stoecklein’s most popular coffee-table books, he features the working cowgirls of the West in all their glory. Stoecklein’s photographs capture the beauty of these women as well as their grit, whether they are roping, riding or just relaxing. These cowgirls all have a true zest for life and it shows in these portraits. They work hard and they also know how to have a good time. Stoecklein has provided his readers with another glimpse into the rich lives of cowgirls across the West. The powerful presence and confidence of each woman shines through in the pages of this wonderful volume.
The stylish, charming illustrations, coupled with a witty, playful narrative, make this book a perfect souvenir that will delight both children and their parents. The illustrations have been meticulously preserved, remaining true to his vision more than 40 years later and, where applicable, facts have been updated for the 21st century. In the book, M. Sasek rides high in the saddle, lassoing all the color and colossal span of Texas as he tours the state from Dallas, Houston and Austin to the Alamo. From its cattle, coyotes and cowboys to its oil wells, rodeo and rattlesnakes, everything is bigger in Texas!

LIMITED EDITION HAND -SIGNED, HAND -SCRETCHED C ANVA S PRINTS Legendary photographer David R. Stoecklein was one of the most sought-after photographers in the business; he was known as the “Photographer of the American West” and was named “Best Living Photographer” by True West magazine on more than one occasion. David launched his career taking lifestyle shots of skiing, fishing, hiking and biking before he turned his lens on the ranches he was surrounded by, and thus began his life-long quest to document the Spirit of the West. David went on to become one of the accomplished master photographers in Canon’s “Explorers of Light” and was regarded as one of the best photographers as well as one of the great preservers of the western way of life. Without a doubt, the most valuable pieces the Stoecklein Collection now offers are the remaining hand signed prints by David. After David’s passing in November of 2014, his wife and sons have decided to carry on his legacy by continuing to share his photographs with the world through his collection of photography products. We encourage you to call 208.726.5191 for pricing and information.

TEXAS LAND MARKETS F O U R T H Q U A R T E R 2 0 17
WRITTEN BY CHARLES E. GILLILAND, PH.D.
RESEARCH ECONOMIST | REAL ESTATE CENTER | TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY
Texas land markets posted a surprisingly strong fourth quarter as oil prices rose and drilling activity rebounded. From far west Texas where frac sand suppliers paid premiums for ranches to south Texas, large price increases prevailed. Those developments counteracted emerging weakness in cropland areas and a flat central Texas market to post a statewide price of $2,644 per acre. That price represented a respectable 4.46 percent rise over 2017 prices, the strongest growth since 2014. At 6,272 transactions, sales volume also outpaced 2016 results by 577 sales. These results indicate that Texas statewide land markets continued to thrive overall. Even the Gulf Coast region, thrashed by hurricane Harvey in the third quarter, posted a rise in prices. However, market conditions varied from these healthy outcomes in some regions where decidedly challenging conditions produced weak results. The Panhandle and South Plains and West Texas regions saw prices significantly decline while prices in the Austin-Waco-Hill Country area retreated modestly. As the year opened, virtually all observers forecast rosy scenarios for the year ahead. The economy was firing on all cylinders and oil prices appeared to have stabilized at higher levels. The income tax reform promises to fill pockets with more cash to spend. Employers scramble to hire more help. Despite political distractions, reduced regulation has engendered a spirit of optimism among business owners. Just when everyone felt giddy, the stock market took a dive, and possible problems with subprime lending for automobiles sent sobering negative signals. Yet, nothing fundamental has changed from the conditions inspiring the rosy outlook. On balance, the way forward for this coming year looks optimistic for most land markets. However, cropland may finally encounter the headwinds that low commodity prices normally bring to bear. ° SOURCE: REAL ESTATE CENTER, TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY

TEXAS WILDLIFE ASSOCIATION BY DAVID YEATES, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) had another busy year in 2017. We worked diligently on behalf of private property rights and natural resources while our Texas Legislature was in session; we reached nearly 700,000 youngsters with our education programs; and we took another 1,400 youngsters on hunts through our Texas Youth Hunting Program. This is what TWA does, year in and year out. Year in and year out, we strive to make a difference in land, water and wildlife—and have done so since 1985.
would like to help with the project, please call the TWA office in San Antonio at (800) 839-9453.
This past year, J. David Anderson from Houston took the helm as our board president. J. David and his wife Brenda own a ranch in the Brush Country just south of Freer where they enjoy hosting their friends, children and grandchildren year round. J. David brings entrepreneurial drive and executive discernment from years of business experience to the office.
At TWA, we challenge ourselves to provide the best conservation information including emerging science and management practices to landowners and managers, so they are equipped to make informed decisions for themselves. Landowner workshops across the state are just one of the ways we achieve that goal.
Since its inception, TWA has moved to various locations in San Antonio as it has grown and matured. Early in his term, J. David noted that it is time for TWA to put down permanent roots and has made acquiring a permanent location for our headquarters a priority for his term. A short six months later with the help of several key volunteers and the generosity of friends and members, TWA has secured a donated tract of land in Comal County, engaged architects and raised just over half of the funds needed to build that headquarters.
Meaningful eminent domain reform has been a legislative priority for quite some time. TWA and our partners, Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers and Texas Farm Bureau, recognize the need for and merit of energy and transportation infrastructure across Texas, but existing eminent domain statutes are nothing short of sanctioned theft. When a landowner is condemned by a private for-profit entity, the landowner should be made financially whole and afforded some basic protections.
Comal County, situated between the Capital in Austin and our hometown of San Antonio, is ideally suited for the business of TWA. Nearby communities such as New Braunfels provide longterm employee recruitment and retention. The central location is easy to access, so it will be great for board meetings, teacher workshops and volunteer trainings held on site.
There is ample room to create some semblance of equity in state law. TWA has resolute partners in the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association and the Texas Farm Bureau. This partnership has committed itself to collectively working as hard as we can to affect statutory improvements for Texas landowners.
The headquarters will be held in our TWA Foundation, allowing contributions to the building fund to be tax-deductible. Owning our own headquarters will free up enough operating revenue to considerably expand our outreach and education programs. Our goal is to move into the new headquarters for TWA’s 35th Anniversary in 2020. If you are interested in learning more or
Rural Texas and rural Texans face countless challenges. TWA stands up to those challenges on behalf of Texas landowners, while educating and engaging young people so they can carry the conservation torch when their time comes. Please join us as a TWA member—and help us accomplish this vital work.

LEGENDARY LIVING
In addition to our headquarters project, TWA has embarked on two special initiatives for 2018. We will be expanding our landowner workshop offerings including the Women of the Land series. This program is designed to provide an inviting educational environment for ladies who are interested in entering into land and wildlife management.

TEXAS LAND BROKERS NETWORK BY GARY MAHLER, TEXAS A&M REAL ESTATE CENTER DIRECTOR With energy, healthcare, business and professional services up, 2018 is looking to be better than 2017. Oil prices are holding at $60 a barrel and higher and oil companies have refined operational costs so that they are making money again. One thing we need to keep an eye on are rising mortgage interest rates which are expected to go up .05% by the year’s end. Current land prices are at an
all-time high but some sellers are willing to wait until they get the “right price.” In our area, median price per acre is currently up 4.98%, which in the past used to relate with the rising commodity prices. Today we are seeing more competition from consumer buyers for personal use and real estate developers. With the future looking brighter, we are anxious to see how 2018 plays out.

TEXAS ALLIANCE OF LAND BROKERS BY JODIE RAPP, PRESIDENT TALB was pleased to offer our first course ever, ADVANCED WATER RIGHTS FOR TEX AS AGENTS, TREC Continuing Education Course # 33150, back in November and it was a huge success. Taught by Dr. Charles Por ter, Texas Real Estate Broker, and Jason T. Hill, Attorney at Law, we had over 80 attendees.

Jason Scull COWBOY ARTIST Jason Scull grew up in a family that farmed and ranched on the fringes of the South Texas brush country. His people were early settlers in Texas who arrived in the mid 1820s and ranched, raised families, fought wars and carved a place in the American West. Scull's life with cattle and horses coupled with his respect for the culture of the American West have shaped and continue to inspire the direction of his art. He studied Animal Science at Texas A&M and returned to the family ranch where he remained involved in the operation until 2010. His study of sculpture began in 1987 through the

Cowboy Artists of America Museum workshop program. In addition, his education has come in the form of personal study with established artists, most notably Jack Swanson, Mehl Lawson, and Cynthia Rigden. His sculpture can be found in private, museum and corporate collections throughout the United States, Canada and England. He has completed several life-size and larger sculptures including an equestrian sculpture of early Texas Ranger John C. “Jack” Hays located on the Hays County Courthouse lawn in San Marcos, Texas; an equine group of three running horses
and a colt for Gaylord Hotels, the Gaylord Texan, Grapevine, Texas; a seven-foot figure for Commercial Metals Company, Seguin, Texas, Caycee, South Carolina, and Mesa, Arizona. Currently, Jason is completing a life-size mounted Spanish Colonial Vaquero and Longhorn cow and calf for the city of McAllen that will be sited at the McAllen Convention Center. He was elected into membership in the Cowboy Artists of America in 2011. Jason and his wife Dianne make their home near Kerrville, Texas, an area rich in the history of the Comanche, Texas Rangers and early trail drivers. °

have been selectively cleared of cedar allowing the native grasses, shrubs and tree species to flourish. Flanking these valleys are densely wooded, soaring ridgelines and accessible hilltops offering forever views in all directions. Over a mile of both sides of seasonal, rock-bottom Middle Verde Creek is on the eastern boundary of the ranch. This serves as watershed for one of the property's recreational highlights: a clear, deep six-acre lake with lighted pier. This permanent water feature is home to healthy populations of largemouth bass, catfish and waterfowl. Hunting on the 4L Ranch is incredible where spotting whitetail in excess of 180 inches and axis over 30 inches is commonplace. Conveying with the sale are seven executive tower blinds and feeders strategically located throughout the property and five isolated protein feeding stations in low pressure areas. Exotics include axis, sika, red stag, blackbuck antelope and nubian ibex. Each of the last six hunting seasons have produced four or more whitetail in the 170–225 inch Boone and Crockett range. All of these trophies were large, main framed typicals, most having forked G-2’s, which has become a tell-tale genetic trait of trophy whitetail on the ranch. The improvement compound consists of three residential structures, all a stone's throw from one another, with a centralized indoor/outdoor kitchen and party room perfect for entertaining family, friends and clients. The main home is a 1,400-square-foot three-bedroom, two-bath rock veneered modular home. Nearby is a three-bedroom, two-bath mobile home currently used as a hunter's cabin/guest quarters. In addition, there is a recently remodeled historic ranch home that dates back to the early 1900s and a 40'x40' covered, concrete-floored implement barn that protects the ranch vehicles and equipment. Equestrian Improvements include a five-stall horse barn, a tack room with an oscillating saddle wall and a set of pens. There’s also a horse walker, a 150'x300’ top-rail pipe and cedar stay arena with a round pen and a ride-up cantina/bunkhouse with half-bath. If you’ve been searching for your very own private Hill Country paradise, call Bluestem Ranch Group today.

The presence of brush on Texas landscapes has long been discussed and cussed.
It seems as though there is more divided opinions and values these days regarding brush than there was when I first began my professional wildlife career over 30 year ago. This brush-value paradigm can perhaps be fundamentally explained through the old philosophy of, “Where you stand on an issue generally depends upon where you sit.” From a brush management standpoint, we should challenge ourselves to not only consider where we “sit,” but we should consider where others may sit as well. For the sake of this article, when I say “others,” I am most specifically referring to those individuals who may someday own, or potentially be interested in owning, the particular piece of land that is under consideration for brush management treatments. This article is not intended to be a technical piece on brush management strategies, but rather, it is intended to look at a handful of considerations regarding the interaction between brush, brush management and land values.
Beauty Is in The Eyes of The Beholder Let’s be honest with ourselves, ranchers will often look at the landscape through

a different lens than someone who brush removal, you should not only is more interested in wildlife. When it seek technical assistance from brush comes to trying to preserve or enhance management experts, but you should land values, the current landowner also challenge yourself to explore what should consider who the future owner the short-term and longer-term impacts may be; will it be an heir who may carry- may be on the land values. on with traditional ranching practices or will it perhaps be a buyer who is more interested in wildlife recreation? A quick look at land-use trends may suggest that the latter is often driving the train on land values these days. Now, don’t get me wrong, landscapes that appeal to the rancher, versus those that appeal to a hunter or wildlifer, do not have to be mutually exclusive. For the sake of this article, the spirit of the central message is to challenge you to consider brush management as a tool that not only helps address your goals of today, but also allows you to be able to protect or enhance your land values for tomorrow. For some, this brush management dilemma may evoke a diverging mindset, and as my good friend Dr. Dale Rollins might say, “Try to wear a camouflage cowboy hat when it comes to managing Leave More Than Less brush.” This is easier said than done for some, but I suspect you get the point. As previously mentioned, land values these days are often driven by markets Measure Twice, Cut Once who value wildlife-related recreation. As a rule, those folks who are interested Indeed, the old carpenter’s adage of in purchasing land for hunting and measuring twice before making that other outdoor related recreation, will initial cut is sage advice. When you tend to find “brushy” properties more begin removing brush and trees from the appealing than those that are too open. landscape, you are making an impact Besides, when a brush management on the land that will have ecological program is completed, you can always and aesthetic consequences which go back and remove more brushy cover will last many years. Semi-arid and arid if you wish, but you cannot go back and landscapes may take many decades re-add it. So, my recommendation is to “recover” from miscalculated brush to be on the conservative side when it management practices. Mechanical comes to how much brush you should equipment are powerful tools that remove. As a general rule, I suggest change the complexion of the landscape that no more than half of the landscape from the get-go. So, when considering be cleared.

When it comes to patterns of brush removal, many people who are in the market for a ranch will find it more appealing if the general appearance of the property has somewhat of a natural look and feel.
in strips, squares and rectangles. The term “mosaic” is tossed around in these type of discussions, and the spirit of this mosaic approach is to create a high degree of randomness, or a natural look, which not only tends to be easy on the eye for a wildlife person, but also tends to favor habitat needs for a variety of wildlife species.
Confine “Park-Like” Settings to Select Areas These days, there is sometimes a tendency for landowners to frivolously spend a great deal of money on creating a manicured, park-like look with their brush work. Such efforts will often diminish wildlife habitat productivity, while also being a financially heavy burden. My general recommendation is to leave most areas of brush-work with a bit of a wild, wooly look. With this said, I suggest leaving a great deal of the slash in place in most areas, as opposed to raking and piling dead brush. This will not only save some expense, but the slash will often serve as a protective lattice for certain desirable forage plants to germinate and mature, without being easily

nubbed down by grazing animals, which in turn creates micro repositories to help perpetuate highly desirable plants. Plus, the debris from the slash will serve as a home for certain birds, small mammals and reptiles, adding to the biodiversity of the landscape. Should you wish to “clean-up” the areas of brush removal somewhat, you might consider focusing the raking, piling and burning along fence-lines, roads and near structures. When it comes to brush work, it’s been said that you should know your plants, know their values and know how to manipulate them. So, try to become a student of plants, do not simply focus on goals that only suit the needs of today and try and be a bit of a visionary regarding how to best preserve or enhance your land values for tomorrow. °

Don’t Be a Square When it comes to patterns of brush removal, many people who are in the market for a ranch will find it more appealing if the general appearance of the property has somewhat of a natural look and feel. Thus, when considering possible patterns of brush removal, it may be best to avoid extensive, monotonous hard lines, such as those that are often created when large areas of brush are removed

Rancher’s Daughter sarah nunley biedenharn
by
TWA MEMBER PROFILE WRITTEN BY LORIE A. WOODWARD
the time she was four, Sarah Nunley Biedenharn, who was reared near Sabinal, was driving a pickup on one of her family’s ranches operated under the Nunley Brothers’ brand. Of course, she was sitting on her father’s lap so she could see over the steering wheel and he could operate the pedals. “There’s never been a time in my memory that ranching hasn’t been a part of my life,” said Biedenharn noting that whoever was driving didn’t have to open gates, a distinction that became important as she and her younger sister Caroline Nunley grew older. “Our family did everything together—and a lot of what we did revolved around the ranch, so the land is the foundation of who I am.” Today, the newlywed and her husband, Tucker Biedenharn whose family ranches near Boerne, live and work in San Antonio. The couple gets out to one of the family’s properties as often as they can because the land and the lifestyle is a shared passion. “I go on the weekends and help when I can,” Biedenharn said. “I’d love to be there full-time.” Headquartered near Sabinal, the Nunley Brothers’ ranch lands extend from South Texas up to the Hill Country and out to the Trans Pecos near Alpine and north to South Plains in the proximity of Lubbock. The family, led by her uncle, Bob Nunley, and her father, Richard Nunley, run an immense Santa Gertrudis cow-calf operation. The two brothers have been working side by side since they graduated from college in the 80s. The operation was founded by Biedenharn’s great grandfather, Red Nunley, who partnered with Dolph Briscoe Jr. to start his herd. Today, one of the ranch’s primary focuses is breeding highly sought after replacement heifers. They are marketed at an annual sale each September hosted by Superior Video Auctions. In the run-up to SPRING 2018

the sale, the entire family is busy with workings across the state as well as shooting video. “My sister, my cousin Chloe Nunley Wilson, and I are the fourth generation of our ranching family,” Biedenharn said. “We grew up watching our Dad and Uncle Bob work. We understand how much hard work it takes to make a ranch succeed.” While the ranches were central to the family’s life, her parents, Richard and Kim, never pressured their daughters to follow in their footsteps. “My parents always encouraged us to major in whatever field interested us and to go to work for other people for a while,” Biedenharn said. The girls, who were homeschooled from the sixth grade through high school to give them the flexibility to spend time on the ranches, both went to TCU. Biedenharn pursued a double major in finance and accounting. Upon graduation in 2014, she spent two years in Dallas working with Goldman Sachs in its real estate investment division. When she and Tucker got engaged, he was working in Wyoming. Because they both wanted to be closer to home, so she went back to the ranch and worked with her father and her uncle fulltime for a year. After the couple married in April 2017, Biedenharn moved to San Antonio, where Tucker had accepted a job. She works for LiftFund, a non-profit that provides micro loans for small businesses. “I’ve got one foot on the concrete and the other on the land,” she said. “I think it gives me a unique perspective on emerging issues that affect landowners, agriculture and conservation.”

The next generation of ranch leadership will be entirely female.
a different perspective
Because of the physical demands of ranch work, the field has long had a reputation for being a man’s world. Biedenharn and her sister don’t see it that way. As they were growing up, their father focused on developing their skills but never ignored their gender. “In the course of our hands-on education, he made us understand that we were different but not lesser,” Biedenharn said. “He taught us that intelligence and knowledge trump physical strength, but he made it equally clear that we have to understand how all of the ranch work is accomplished.

LEGENDARY LIVING
“In order to lead a business, you have to be able to teach someone else how you want things done, and as long as you understand how a task is accomplished you can ask for help.” By acknowledging that ranch work is hard physical labor and giving the girls implicit permission to ask for help when tasks may require more strength than they had or put them in undue risk, he also gave them the freedom to succeed in the business on their own terms. “I can’t speak for my sister or my cousin, but I think I have a unique view on feminism,” Biedenharn said. “I don’t have to be a man or act like a man to succeed in an industry that is still very male. I was never told that I couldn’t do something, but I was encouraged to do it differently to make the most of my strengths.” These childhood lessons influence the dynamic at the daily morning ranch meetings where the day’s agenda is set, tasks assigned, business planned and decisions made. It’s been a long-time ritual for the brothers, who are now joined every day by Wilson, who is involved full-time. Biedenharn and Caroline, who works for a digital marketing firm in Fort Worth, participate when they are home. “Dad and Uncle Bob tackle an issue from a male perspective, but then we women add our points of view—and the dynamic shifts,” Biedenharn said. “We see things differently. By embracing those differences, we, as a group, may come to an unexpected conclusion that is actually better than if any of us had gone it alone.”
”
P
The next generation of ranch leadership will be entirely female. Biedenharn and Caroline were gifted with a “classroom” ranch when they were in high school. It is theirs to manage. Because they are both working away from the ranch currently, Richard is the consistent physical presence, but they are the sole decision makers. “We get to learn about everything on a smaller scale,” Biedenharn said. One of the many lessons that Biedenharn has learned is the value of technology in what many perceive as a hidebound industry. One industrychanging example is RFID (radio frequency identification system) tags. The tags implanted soon after a calf is born allow the family to gather and record production information as well as trace the whereabouts of that animal through the entire production chain. The family members adopted the technology early on and it is impacting the way they do business. “The general public has no idea how technology is changing our business,” Biedenharn said. “It is making us much more efficient—and illuminating other efficiencies that can be gained.” As a next generation rancher, she is clear-eyed about the future. Rising land prices that prompt sub-division of large tracts will make it more difficult for the sprawling ranches that shaped the culture of Texas to exist. “I think the law of supply and demand is going to sort it out,” Biedenharn said. Those large ranches that remain will not be the ranches of lore that were the sole domain of hard-riding, whooping and shooting cowboys on horseback. “The romantic notion of ranching is just that—a romantic notion,” Biedenharn said. “People tend to forget that we ranchers are in the business of raising beef to feed people. I don’t think people are going to quit eating beef, so I think the ranching industry is here to stay. It may look different, but it will be here.” °

a favorite memory
“That’s a hard question because I loved growing up on the land. The first answer that comes to my mind is driving with Dad. We were always going to check on something or headed to a working somewhere—and that generally involved traveling a distance. When we’d be pretty far along into our seven or eight hour trips, we’d always find a convenience store and buy some of those weird triangle sandwiches and snacks. Through the whole trip, we just talked and talked. We solved the world’s problems and spent hours imagining great inventions we could engineer. Those were just some of my favorite times because we were truly together.”

the best part of the day
From dawn to dark-thirty is the average work day on a ranch. The Nunley Brothers’ operation is no different. For Biedenharn, the morning is the best part of the day. “Everybody meets at the kitchen in the men’s house. It has a coffee pot, a wood stove and a computer. We drink coffee. The hands get their orders for the day. Dad and Bob talk business with us chiming in. "About the same time, the sun is rising and the animals wake up. We’re starting our day just as the world is starting its. "Then we drive the ranch to see what has changed since the last time I was there . . . what roads have been worked on or washed out . . . whether the tanks are full or dropping. The sort of stuff that marks progress and prompts you to spot the next projects or prepare for what’s coming in terms of Mother Nature. "After that, Dad runs errands in town and I go with him because in the process I get to see everybody. We generally go by the bank and the feedstore with a few other stops thrown in for variety. "That’s our normal routine for a normal day. A lot of times, though, we’re on a mission to get supplies to fix something that has broken overnight. Come to think of it, that may be our real normal on the ranch.”

connection twa
Biedenharn is a lifelong hunter. She remembers beginning school and becoming her dad’s deer hunting companion about the same time. In her experience, hunting and conservation go hand-in-hand, but she recognizes that many people in the world don’t see it that way. TWA’s commitment to hands-on conservation education drew her to the organization. “I’ve always been passionate about conservation, so I found myself aligned with TWA’s commitment to youth conservation education. In my personal experience with friends who grew up hunting and those who didn’t, I came to understand that people who are not exposed to something such as hunting find it easy to dislike it or fear it. They hold onto a misperception or stereotype instead of opening themselves to the experience and the whole truth. "Wildlife management and conservation is also part of the mix on our ranch. On some of our properties, we have lease hunters while on others it’s for our own personal enjoyment. "In either case, hunting is a means of managing the population of animals so that you can take care of the habitat that supports not only the deer, but all of the other wildlife. It’s not about killing as so many people wrongly believe. In ranching, it’s about a striking a balance where you benefit the wildlife and the livestock. "TWA, through a lot of different programs, works hard to make sure young Texans understand the role private landowners play in conserving the wildlife and open spaces that make Texas special. "For me, I hope that my legacy is somehow helping children understand conservation and business. We have to have conservation that makes ecological and economic sense, so that we have healthy natural resources forever.”

SOUTHERN STAR RANCH
3,200± ACRES The Southern Star Ranch features rolling hills, mature trees and native shrubs with the Nueces River running through the land. Water is abundant and wildlife plentiful. One of its many impressive features is the 25,000± square-foot old world Spanish mission lodge that was specifically designed for entertaining large family outings, hunting adventures and gatherings. With its vast and many buildings, it resembles a Spanish-style village—hence the “Mexican Village” soon stuck as the name of this spectacular feat of architecture. The village includes multiple buildings surrounding a large public plaza. In the center of the plaza sits an authentic water fountain imported from Guadalajara, Mexico. Brick walkways extend out from the plaza, connecting the living areas with numerous screened
$16,000,000
UVALDE COUNT Y patios and outdoor gathering spaces. Being located in the famed hunting grounds of South Texas, the landscape was specifically manipulated to increase and promote the amount of quail and whitetail deer habitat throughout the ranch. In 2006 the ranch began a program of planting a variety of native grasses and forbs throughout the property with strategic roads specifically designed for first-class hunting and management. The whitetail deer herd has been carefully managed under the Texas Parks and Wildlife MLD program to enhance and produce numerous deer roaming the pastures—over 300+ Boone and Crockett. Every aspect of this ranch was inspired to produce the best of everything for the person who wants nothing left undone and to leave a stunning lifelong impression.
