They maintain a consistant 1 to 1.52 buck to doe ratio. In order to keep the hunting at the trophy level they only allow a maximum of 3 gun hunts per year with only 6 hunters allowed per group. It has 15 gun stands and 17 archery stands that overlook 10 food plots and multiple natural food plots such as wheat and oats fields. They also maintain year round active feeders throughout the ranch and feed protein as well. This ranch has been under a quality deer management program the past several years and the quality of the bucks they are killing proves that it is working. The terrain although still Texas looking with plenty of Mesquite and cactus does differ from the flat south Texas landscape. This ranch has rolling hills, canyons and 6 miles of frontage of the Brazo River running through it. 1 trophy buck, 1 doe, 1 hog and unlimited varmints.[/align][/align]
