PUBLISHER LETTER 

Welcome to the Lands of Texas Magazine Fall Issue 

2012! We are excited to present our biggest issue to 

date – 176 pages of the finest properties, brokers and 

industry information. We love land and everything 

about it. We see land and rural living as a way of life. 

Land is real. A solid investment. Rural living often 

goes hand in hand with real people and solid family 

values. 

One of my favorite quotes is by John Adams who said, 

“Land is the only good and wise investment.” I was 

speaking with a good friend recently who manages 

large stock investments. We were talking about the 

state of the nation, the economy, etc., and he was 

recounting the heavy loss he took awhile back in the stock market. I commented that he should 

have invested in land. His reply was that land was not a liquid enough investment for him. I 

agreed that it wasn’t as liquid as his stocks that literally went down the drain overnight. That’s 

a little too liquid for me. Had he invested in land, he would still have a tangible asset and the 

enjoyment of rural living to boot. 

My love of rural life began when I was just a kid. My family had property in the Hill Country 

where we spent our summers and holidays. I remember long, hot summer days exploring the 

outdoors, working in the garden and cooling off in the river. Holidays were especially memorable. 

I distinctly recall sitting at the long family table on Thanksgiving Day as my grandfather 

tried to convince his wide-eyed, skeptical grandchildren that the wild turkey we were eating was 

caught and put to sleep, not killed. All the while, some of us would be biting into #6 lead shot. 

I harvested my first deer on that ranch at 8 years old with a Winchester Model 93 30-30 while 

sitting in my grandfather’s lap. Wonderful memories indeed. My eight-year-old son, Ty, shot 

this boar hog last year with a single shot 410 while sitting in my lap. 

May God bless you all, 

Tom Alexander

FROM THE EDITOR 

Hello, my name is Lauret and I’m a blogoholic 

Yes, I’m obsessed with blogs! I have multiple ones that 

I follow regularly, mostly about my passions - interior design, 

architecture, graphic design, faith, fitness, beauty and fashion. I 

mean, I’m a chick. What did you expect? 

If you’re new to blogs, let me break it down for you: 

Definition: A blog is a frequent, chronological publication of 

personal thoughts and web links. 

Information: A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in 

a person’s life or in business’s world and what is happening on 

the web. A kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as 

many unique types of blogs as there are people. 

Now, you 

may ask yourself 

“Why would I be 

interested in checking 

out a blog? What’s in it for me?” You’d be surprised at 

how may different blogs (I mean thousands and thousands) that 

exist which are relatable to every single person out there. For 

our Lands of Texas readers, you may be 

interested to find out that there are so many 

blogs out there about hunting, land ownership, 

investing, etc, and, of course, real estate! Given 

the public blog infatuation,, you probably aren’t 

surprised to know that we have an awesome blog 

at Lands of Texas.com! It’s a great blog for 

buyers, sellers and brokers alike. You’ll find 

some recent posts on page 45 of this issue!

“Hunting wild boar is a keenly held tradition in the Mississippi Delta. Fraught 

with danger, it challenges the hunter, observer, wildlife enthusiast, and landowner 

alike. Panther Tract is an insider’s observance of extraordinary hunting, southern 

hospitality, camaraderie, and the love of dogs, horses, and hair-raising excitement. 

The 160 photographs are representative of a “day at the hunt,” starting at dawn 

and ending well after dark. The tales center on vivid hunting experiences, both 

at Panther Tract, a large wilderness paradise in Yazoo County, owned by legendary 

southern gentleman Howard Brent, and in other locations in the Mississippi Delta. 

The narratives come from men, women, doctors, lawyers, judges, businessmen, 

politicians, farmers, sharecroppers’ sons, and even a Hollywood screenwriter.” 

Melody Golding is an author, photographer, artist and a friend of mine living 

here in Vicksburg, MS, where I live. Her books include Panther Tract: Wild Boar 

Hunting in the Mississippi Delta and Katrina: Mississippi Women Remember. 

The Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of American History Archives 

Center acquired her solo documentary exhibit about Hurricane Katrina. Her 

photographs are on display in the Congressional Hearing Room at the Department of Homeland Security and have been featured in solo exhibitions 

at The National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C., and at colleges, universities and museums. Her work is in many private and public 

collections and she has written for various statewide publications.

Tips to Lower Your Risk From 

Wildfire 


ildfires burned from border to border across the Lone 

Star State last year, fueled by one of the worst droughts 

in Texas history. 

One Texas blaze — the Rockhouse Fire in Jeff Davis County — 

made a 20-mile run in just six hours, on its way to burning more 

than 314,000 acres. Another fire, the Bastrop Complex, destroyed 

1,660 homes, more than any other wildfire in Texas history. 

The 2011 fire season would be deemed the most destructive the 

state has ever seen. More than 30,000 wildfires burned a total of 

3.9 million acres and destroyed almost 3,000 homes. 

Although Texas has fared better this year, thanks to timely rains 

in many regions of the state, the mountain states were victims of 

wildfire in late spring and early summer. Nationally, more than 

3.8 million acres had burned as of mid-July. 

But there is a glimmer of hope amidst the tragedies. More than 

39,000 homes were saved last year — either through the actions 

of firefighters or defensible measures taken by homeowners long 

before a fire ignited. 

Preventive Measures Necessary in Rural Areas 

Melanie Spradling, wildland urban interface specialist for Texas 

Forest Service, recalls how weather conditions aligned for nine 

days in 2011, fueling what’s known as a southern plains wildfire 

outbreak. 

Such an outbreak — also called a “firestorm” — occurs when 

above-average surface temperatures and an unstable atmosphere 

converge with dry west-southwest winds across an area with low 

relative humidity. 

“When these conditions are in place, aggressive firefighting techniques 

don’t work,” Spradling says. “The best thing you can do is 

get people out of harm’s way.” 

There were, however, instances in which homes survived wildfire 

last year due to defensible actions taken by homeowners. 

“Take a look at your house and imagine a fire running toward it,” 

Spradling says. “Any combustible material immediately surrounding 

your home serves as fuel for a fire. Simple things like clearing 

an area of defensible space can actually end up saving your home.” 

Texas Panhandle rancher Ronnie Brown credits a plowed firebreak 

with saving his ranch home during a wildfire in 2006. Although 

the fire scorched 22,000 acres of his land, killed more than 20 

head of cattle and destroyed 72 miles of fence on his ranch near 

Wheeler, Texas, he says his family was lucky. “The fire came within 

50 yards of our home, but we had some ground plowed behind 

the house, and that turned it back,” he says. 

Because many rural areas are in the heart of the wildland-urban 

interface, wildfire is a real threat. Following are some steps 

homeowners should consider.

Maintain a defensible space around your home. 

Remove or reduce flammable material in an area that extends at 

least 30 feet from your house in all directions — the farther, the 

better. Keep this zone well-irrigated and mowed. Keep grass short 

for a distance of 30 to 50 feet around structures. Prune shrubs and 

cut back tree branches, especially within 15 feet of your chimney, 

power lines or other structures. Relocate combustible materials, 

including propane tanks and firewood. 

Remove leaves and debris from the roof, gutters or downspouts 

that could easily be ignited by hot embers. Keep fire tools handy, 

such as connected garden hoses, a shovel and a bucket or two for 

water. If the house is on a slope, increase the defensible zone to at 

least 75 feet. Fire travels 16 times faster up a slope than on level 

ground. 

Landscape with less flammable plants. 

Choose plants and trees with high moisture content in the leaves 

and low oil or resin content. Plants with strong smells, such as 

rosemary, have more oil and are more volatile. Consider whether 

a plant is tight-branched or airy. The denser a plant, the more 

heat it will generate if it burns. Also, take out ladder fuels, which 

are subsequent plantings of grass and groundcovers, shrubs and 

then trees that carry fire from vegetation to a structure. 

Low-flammability plants often have broad, moist leaves and a 

loose branching pattern. They may be deciduous, healthy, selfpruning 

plants that grow slowly. 

High-flammability plants often have dry, dense leaves or needles 

or grass-like leaves. They frequently are unhealthy evergreen 

plants that retain dead leaves and branches and grow quickly. 

Incorporate rock into the landscaping. 

An 18- to 36-inch border of gravel around the home and wooden 

attachments, including fences, can reduce the spread of wildfire. 

Other options are to incorporate stone paths, gravel, big rocks, 

stone walls and raised planters into the landscape. Such “hardscaping” 

will break up the contiguous planting and help to 

slow fire. 

Use construction materials 

that are fire-resistant or noncombustible. 

The roof is the most vulnerable part of any structure. Consider 

using materials such as Class-A asphalt shingles, slate or clay tile, 

metal or cement and concrete products. Additionally, the inclusion 

of a fire-resistant sub-roof adds protection. 

Wall materials that resist heat and flames include cement, plaster, 

stucco and concrete masonry. These choices are better than vinyl, 

which can soften and melt. 

Make it easier for fire response units. 

All road signs and house address numbers should be reflective, 

made of noncombustible materials and visible from the road. 

Three-inch reflective lettering is recommended to help emergency 

responders find your home in the dark or heavy smoke. A driveway 

that is at least 12 feet wide with a vertical clearance of 15 feet 

provides access for emergency vehicles. 

Tim Knesek, senior vice president in Capital Farm Credit’s La 

Grange office, urges property owners to encourage utility companies 

to trim trees from right-of-ways, rather than discourage their 

efforts. Low-hanging branches could be the fuel that causes the 

next fire to jump the road, notes Knesek, who had several customers 

lose property during the Bastrop fire last year. 

He also encourages rural residents to support their local volunteer 

fire departments. “You never know when you’ll need their help,” 

he comments. 

Develop a disaster plan. 

Take a few minutes to discuss an emergency plan with your family. 

Remember to consider your pets and to plan two escape routes 

out of your home and out of your neighborhood. 

Fire Prevention Strategies 

for Rural Landowners 

Fire prevention experts offer these tips 

to help landowners prepare for wildfire. 

Establish firebreaks — Firebreaks are strips of fireresistant 

vegetation, bare ground or a combination that 

serve to slow the fire. Install them between buildings and 

fields, and along fences and roadways, by plowing or 

blading wide strips of land. 

Fight fire with fire — Prescribed burns can decrease wildfire 

danger by reducing fuel loads. It is important, however, 

that a prescribed burn be carried out under precise weather 

conditions by people trained in the use of fire as a management 

tool. Many government agencies, including the Natural 

Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service and state Extension services, can be a great 

help in developing a burn plan. 

Watch your actions — According to the U.S. Forest Service, 

76 percent of southern wildfires are caused by humans. 

Many wildfires have been accidently set by well-meaning 

landowners performing everyday activities, such as burning 

debris, welding or simply driving across a dry field. Be 

watchful of catalytic converters. Equip all machinery with 

proper spark arrestors. When welding, be sure the work 

area is free of grass and debris. Have a spotter and water 

source handy. Before outdoor burning, check with your local 

forestry commission about burn bans and contact district 

offices for permits.

Howard W. Hood/Broker | 222 Sidney Baker South, Suite 223 | Kerrville, TX 78028 

On the outskirts of Kerrville, Texas, along the historic Western Cattle Trail 

to Dodge City, Kansas, and beyond is this 157±-acre Town Creek Estate 

Ranch. The main residence overlooks a beautiful lake on Town Creek 

and is comprised of 17,000 square feet. The estate is perfectly situated 

and configured for luxury living and lavish or relaxed Texas Hill Country 

entertainment. The estate accentuates indoor and outdoor living with a 

large 50- by 30-foot pool and spa, outdoor fireplaces, and fire pits for 

outside entertainment during the mild Hill Country nights. 

The estate is open and bright with two art galleries filled with western 

art, one leading to the master bedroom suite and the other connecting 

the main living areas to the game room and trophy room wing. The home 

features a large living room, library, dining room, den, sun room, and a 

large country kitchen with utility room. Six large fireplaces located in the 

main living areas and in the bedroom suites keep the estate warm and 

cheerful during chilly winter nights. Outside the den area is an outdoor 

fireplace situated on a covered porch overlooking the pool, which provides 

an ideal cocktail hour venue. 

There are four bedrooms, each with en suite baths, and a guest suite with a panoramic view of the main lake, horse paddocks, and hills. The master suite features a 

large two-story master bedroom with fireplace, two adjacent gyms, and his and her bathrooms. Upstairs from the master bedroom is a large main office, secondary 

office, loggia, map room, half bath, and coffee bar. A long covered porch off the office suite overlooks the pool and main lake. 

From the main den there is a wide art gallery hall leading to a 40 foot by 27 foot game room with fireplace overlooking the pool. Another wide gallery decorated with 

wildlife art and scenes of Africa leads to a 60 foot by 40 foot trophy room featuring a full kitchen and an adjoining antique bar room accented by a real antique bar 

and walls of antique long leaf pine. Upstairs from the bar is the palatial guest suite overlooking the lake, outside fire pit, and views beyond. 

If the estate home itself is not enough, consider that the lakes have been stocked for over 20 years with a 

bountiful habitat of world-class Florida bass and large catfish. The estate grounds feature a thoroughbred 

horse barn, tack room, and office. Close by is a large shop, work areas, green house, and air conditioned 

storage room. There are many separately high fenced pens and alleys designed for the efficient handling 

of exotic animals and white tailed deer. Large high fenced fields allow for the enjoyment of many exotic 

animals such as greater kudu, nyala, zebra, red deer, aoudad, axis, blackbuck, or any other beautiful 

creatures that the new owner chooses to enjoy. 

There is a Iarge three-bedroom, two-bath guest house also located on Town Creek featuring beautiful 

outdoor porches, decks and outdoor fire pit. 

Can you imagine that just five minutes from downtown Kerrville, with all its amenities, restaurants, 

regional hospital, and the beautiful Guadalupe River, there exists an iconic Texas ranch estate 

which captures the peace, privacy, and beauty of the Texas Hill Country? Come and see for yourself.

What is fracing 

“Fracing in conjunction with horizontal drilling in reservoirs once 

thought to be only marginally producible or even un-producible, has 

significantly changed the oil and gas business regarding targeted 

geologic horizons for exploration, such as certain shale formations,” 

says Tony Fears, Consultant and Owner of Fears Energy Associates, 

Inc. “These technologies enable oil and gas companies to develop and 

produce in areas that were previously left unexplored. Fracing (from the 

word fracturing) has been used for over sixty years and describes the 

process whereby rock, is fractured using fresh water and other fluids to 

release oil and gas trapped in layers of sediment generally thousands of 

feet below the surface of the earth.” 

Currently fracing is the only method available to reach high production 

locations well below aquifer levels. Production areas thought to be 

depleted can be re-drilled or fractured to remove deposits at much 

deeper levels. Texas is purported to have natural gas reserves to supply 

needs of the United States for 100 years. 

As with most new technology – problems, accusations, and regulatory 

issues arise – some well-founded, some solely speculative, and others 

totally untrue with no basis for concern. People become disturbed 

when fleets of drilling equipment, trucks and other construction vehicles 

appear on highways and roads and large numbers of technicians invade 

a small Texas town looking for food, drink, and a place to stay. 

monitor this explosion of activity could also lead to one of the greatest 

environmental and public health challenges of our time.” 

Most peripheral problems have been solved by industry, but fresh water 

use for fracing looms as the most valid complication that exists now 

and for the future. A recent independent study by The University of 

Texas showed no evidence that fracing -- hydraulic fracturing of shale 

to extract natural gas – is contaminating groundwater. The study 

conducted by the university’s Energy Institute was funded solely by The 

University of Texas with no help from industry. Few other studies exist 

because technology continues to develop so rapidly. 

“Even though one may often characterize a producing well from a 

certain formation as being typical, wells throughout the state can vary 

tremendously in depth, producing rates, rock lithology, and methods of 

completion,” says Tony Fears (no relation to the author, Janelle Fears). 

Barry Smitherman, Chairman of the Texas Railroad Commission 

(RRC) says “The Railroad Commission is encouraging the use of new 

technologies that allow producers to recycle the water they use in 

hydraulic fracturing. In addition, companies like Chevron and Marathon 

are using cutting edge developments to spur production without using 

drinking water. Chevron is using a waterless system based on propane 

gel, and Marathon is using a solution based on guar bean (an Indian 

plant that looks like a green bean). Already the amount of water it takes 

to produce a barrel of oil has been reduced drastically and I’m committed 

to making sure water use continues to drop in the future. The energy 

industry must be a good neighbor to farmers, ranchers and others who 

rely on the land and the water under it.” 

Chesapeake Energy is active in the Barnett Shale in East Texas, among 

other areas, and uses approximately four million gallons of water per 

fractured well which is the equivalent to six minutes of daily water 

use in New York City. According to the USDA’s Farm and Ranch 

Irrigation Survey, approximately four million gallons of water is used 

to irrigate 6.75 acres of corn for a season in the Southern Plains. This 

is also the quantity required for growing enough corn to make 5.1 

gallons of ethanol. With last year’s drought¸ the oil and gas industry’s 

consumption of water is minimal compared to other users in the state 

such as municipalities and agriculture. 

Fracing fluids 

Environmental concerns 

An article in The American Statesman stated, “Our state and nation do 

not have a cohesive regulatory policy to assure the American people that 

this highly lucrative activity – which entails controversial drilling and 

fracing techniques – is safe for our air, water, land, and health. The lack 

of adequate regulations and enforcement at the state and federal level to 

Additives make up less than 0.5 percent of the total fluid used in 

hydraulic fracturing and typically water represents the remaining 99.5 

percent. Although industry may have more than 200 compounds that 

can be used in hydraulic fracing fluid, any single job may use only a 

handful. Each additive is designed for a specific engineered intent. 

Slickwater is a water-based fluid currently being used for fracture 

treatments in gas shale areas. It is water mixed with friction reducing 

additives, primarily potassium chloride (a common table salt substitute). 

Addition of friction reducers allows pumping of fracturing fluids and 

prop pant to the target zone at a higher rate with reduced pressure than 


Fracing (from the word fracturing) 

has been used for over sixty years and 

describes the process whereby rock, is 

fractured using fresh water and other 

fluids to release oil and gas trapped in 

layers of sediment generally thousands 

of feet below the surface of the earth.” 

if only water is used. Prop pant is sand or other materials used to “prop” 

open the fractures. 

To prevent micro-organism growth and to reduce biofouling of the 

fractures, biocides are used in the mixture. Oxygen scavengers and 

other stabilizers that prevent corrosion of metal pipes plus acids 

to remove drilling mud buildup within or near the wellbore area are 

additional additives commonly included. Hydraulic Fracturing Disclosure 

Rule in the Texas House Bill 3228 requires operators to list on the 

FracFocus website specific fluids used in hydraulic fracing treatments. 

“The RRC rules require that any time an oil, gas or injection/disposal well 

is drilled, the surface casing has to be below the depth of usable quality 

water to protect the state’s water resources,” says Smitherman. “Since 

usable quality water levels vary throughout the state, the Commission‘s 

Groundwater Advisory Unit performs an essential function in determining 

specific groundwater protection depths for each new well.” 

Strict well construction requirements by RRC include several layers 

of steel casings and cement to protect groundwater. RRC requires 

casing monitoring gauges, so if there is a problem, it is easily and quickly 

identified. 

Typically fracturing dynamics are different with every drilled well, but 

they can be minute (half the size of a human hair) and their length can 

range from 100 to several hundred feet. 

Oil and gas activity occurs statewide with more than 280,000 active 

wells. Fracing and flowback fluid disposal wells have been blamed for 

earthquakes. These suspect quakes are almost always on or near an 

existing fault line. 

“I know of no data linking hydraulic fracturing to earthquakes,” says 

Tony Fears. 

Texas geology generally isolates fracturing activity sometimes located 

a mile or more below aquifers. Thousands of feet of impervious rock 

between the fresh water and fracing zones, makes safer fracing with little 

risk of polluting usable fresh water sites. The RRC’s well construction 

rules and rigorous regulatory oversight keep Texas wells safer than most 

other states.

E n d a n g e r e d A n i m a l s 

S av e t h e S p e c i e s ? 

(CBS News) The scimitar horned oryx, the addax, the dama gazelle -- three elegant desert 

antelope that you’d hope to see on a journey through Africa, except that their numbers 

are dwindling there. Which is why Lara Logan went to Texas -- yes, Texas. There, on large 

grassland ranches, some exotic species that are endangered in the wild have been brought 

back in large numbers. But there’s a catch: a percentage of the herd is hunted every year 

by hunters who pay big money for a big catch. The ranchers say this limited “culling” gives 

them the money they need to care for the animals and conserve the species. But animal 

rights activists don’t buy that argument, claiming the hunts are “canned” and that hunting 

is wholly inconsistent with conservancy. 

The following script is from “Big Game Hunting” which originally aired on Jan. 29, 

2012 and was rebroadcast on June 10, 2012 . Lara Logan is the correspondent. Max 

McClellan, producer. 

Where can you find some of the best big game hunting in the world? As we 

first reported in January, it’s a place that may surprise you. Tonight, we’re going 

to take you on a journey into a world that many people don’t even know exists. 

To get the best view, we flew by helicopter over this vast terrain. From the air, 

we could see herds of African antelope and zebra charging across the wide open 

spaces. It looks remarkably like Africa, but it’s not. This is Texas. 

Here in the Lone Star State the iconic Texas longhorn now shares the range with 

more than a quarter million animals from Asia, Africa, Europe. Today, Texas has 

more exotic wildlife than any other place on earth. 

Lara Logan: How many exotics do you have in Texas? 

These images were filmed on Texas ranches back in 1975. The ranchers liked 

the novelty of these strange animals on their properties. But what started 

as a curiosity has evolved into a major achievement in wildlife conservation, 

by helping to bring back three African antelope from the brink of extinction, 

according to Charly Seale. 

Seale: Our members own more numbers of rare and endangered species than 

any other association in the world. Three of our biggest successes have been 

the scimitar horned oryx, the addax and the dama gazelle. Our numbers have 

absolutely just skyrocketed in the last, last 15-20 years. 

Logan: So, these animals are thriving in Texas while they’re still endangered or 

extinct in their native lands? 

Seale: Yes. 

Logan: So are they still endangered in your view? 

Seale: Absolutely not, not in Texas. 

How did thousands of Texas ranches become home to the largest population of 

exotic animals on earth? 

It’s thanks to trophy hunters like Paul, who come here in the thousands to hunt 

these animals every year, sold on the idea of an African hunting experience in 

Texas. It’s open season on close to 100 species of exotic game all the time here 

because exotic animals are considered private property. Paul allowed us to come 

with him as he went on this hunt if we agreed to use only his first name. 

Charly Seale: I think our last count there’s like 125 different species here in 

Texas. 

Charly Seale is a fourth generation rancher and the executive director of the 

Exotic Wildlife Association based here in the heart of the Texas hill country. It’s 

his job to represent the interests of some 5,000 exotic ranchers across North 

America. 

Logan: So would you say Texas has the most non-native species of animals? 

Seale: Oh, yes, absolutely. 

It all began more than half a century ago with surplus animals from zoos. 

[Paul: I’ve been looking forward to this hunt for several months now and I’m just 

pumped.] 

Here, he and a guide are searching for a scimitar horned oryx for him to take 

home as a trophy. If they find one, it’ll cost Paul $4,500. Other animals, like 

this dama gazelle, cost around $10,000. And the rarest, a cape buffalo, has a 

$50,000 price tag. Exotic wildlife has become a billion dollar industry in Texas 

supporting more than 14,000 jobs. 

For two days, Paul and his guide searched this 30,000 acre ranch just two 

hours outside San Antonio for an oryx, but they didn’t find any. Animal rights 

groups accuse the ranchers of making the hunts too easy, but that’s not what 

we witnessed in this case. Six months later, we met up with Paul when he came 

back to try his luck again on another ranch. 


Seale: I can do that for the simple reason that I know it’s for the welfare of every 

one of those animals, you sacrifice one so that many more are born and raised 

from calves all the way up to the big trophy male or the big trophy females that 

we have. 

Priscilla Feral: I think that’s ludicrous. I think it’s immoral. And I don’t think 

anybody’s entitled to do that. 

Priscilla Feral is president of Friends of Animals, an international animal rights 

organization. For the past seven years, she’s been fighting in court to stop these 

rare African antelope from being hunted in Texas. 

We were curious to know whether it bothered him that the animal he was 

hunting is officially extinct in the wild. 

Logan: Do you care about this species? Do you care if this species goes extinct? 

Paul: Oh yes I do. 

Logan: Why do you want to kill them? 

Paul: The money that I spend to hunt these animals keeps these animals alive 

on these ranches. 

You may be surprised to learn that the U.S. government agrees with that. For 

years it’s allowed the scimitar horned oryx and two other endangered antelope 

to be hunted on U.S. soil. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has concluded 

that “hunting...provides an economic incentive for...ranchers to continue to breed 

these species,” and that “hunting...reduces the threat of the species’ extinction.” 

On ranches like this, they say they don’t allow more than 10 percent of a herd 

to be hunted per year. After six hours, Paul and his guide have finally spotted 

some oryx. They were about 150 yards away, and they thought they had found 

a suitable target. He got ready to take a shot. 

[Paul: Okay, is that the one, Are you sure?] 

Paul hit the target with one bullet. 

Seale: Hunters are the, are the main conservationists in this whole equation. 

Logan: Can you call yourselves conservationists when your purpose, your intent, 

the thing that’s driving it is to hunt the animals and to kill them? 

Seale: Absolutely. That’s, that’s why these animals thrive it’s because of that, that 

value that they have to the hunting community. 

Logan: You know, just because people are willing to pay large amounts of money 

for those trophies doesn’t make it right. 

Seale: I can’t let these animals just freely roam around my ranch. I can’t do it. I 

won’t do it. 

Logan: Do you love these animals? 

Seale: Absolutely. 

Logan: How can you kill something you love? 

Feral: They’re breeding these antelopes, they’re selling the antelopes, and they’re 

killing the antelopes. And they’re calling it conserving them. They are saying it’s 

an act of conservation and that’s lunacy. 

Logan: You would rather they did not exist in Texas at all? 

Feral: I don’t want to see them on hunting ranches. I don’t want to see them 

dismembered. I don’t want to see their value in body parts. I think it’s obscene. I 

don’t think you create a life to shoot it. 

Seale: Our biggest enemy are the animal rights people. They don’t understand 

what we do. 

Logan: What’s to understand, I mean, you’re hunters? You hunt these exotic 

animals. That’s pretty simple. 

Seale: It is, but there are a faction of people out there that would just as soon 

see these animals go extinct as to have us use them for sp- to hunt and after all, 

that is the bottom line. That’s what these animals are all about. That’s why they 

are here in the numbers that they’re here today. 

[David Bamberger: You’re at the first place that this, this is where it all began.] 

83-year-old Texan David Bamberger has spent more than 30 years fighting 

to save one of these antelope, the scimitar horned oryx, from extinction. He 

brought us to where it all began, in this small pasture which he calls the Sahara 

on his 5,500 acre ranch. 

Bamberger: Here they go! 

Logan: Look at that, they’re beautiful. Oh, look at the babies in the front. 

You almost have to remind yourself that this is not Africa. It’s Johnson City, 

Texas. This beautiful animal has horns that can grow as long as four feet and 

resemble the curved blade of a scimitar. It’s believed by some to have inspired 

the myth of the unicorn. 

Bamberger: They tell me it’s the only African antelope known to be able to kill 

a lion. 

They vanished decades ago from the deserts of Egypt, Senegal, Chad - all the 

places where they first walked the Earth more than two million years ago. 

Bamberger: They wouldn’t be here and alive if we hadn’t taken some action 30 

years ago. 

In the late 1970s, Bamberger offered to devote more than 600 acres of his 

property to save an endangered animal at his own expense. American zoos sent 

him nearly all of the remaining known genetic stock of scimitar horned oryx in

the world and from that he raised hundreds of animals. He’s since sent some 

to African reserves for eventual reintroduction into the wild, but he believes the 

best hope to sustain the species today lies on the Texas range. 

stable or growing. 

Logan: The numbers, you can’t argue with that? 

Condy: When you’re talking about conservation, it’s the numbers that are the 

bottom line. 

But for Priscilla Feral, the bottom line is that these animals should not be 

hunted. She’s helped create a reserve in Senegal for 175 orxy and in court, 

she’s winning the legal battle she’s been fighting for years to stop them from 

being hunted in the U.S. 

Bamberger: I’ve got ranchers that I started them out on with half a dozen animals 

that got 200 now. 

Logan: But if you’re a conservationist, and you’ve given up your land, you’ve 

given up thousands, millions of dollars to save this species. Yet you’re not against 

hunting them? 

Bamberger: Well, I wouldn’t do it here. I’m not fond of it at all, but I’m wise 

enough, smart enough to know if there’s no incentive, if altruism is the only 

incentive you’re not gonna get a great deal of participation on someone whose 

livelihood depends on bringing in dollars. 

[Logan: You’d think you were in Africa, look at the giraffe sitting there] 

We turned to one of the world’s top conservationists, Pat Condy, who lives in 

Texas, to find out what he thought. 

Pat Condy: That’s the scimitar horned oryx. Altogether, on different ranches, 

many different ranches, there are somewhere between six and 10 thousand of 

these animals. 

Pat Condy has devoted his life to saving animals and he showed us around the 

Fossil Rim Wildlife Center outside of Dallas which he runs. It’s a world leader in 

breeding rare and endangered animals. 

And it’s also a place where tourists can get closer to these beautiful creatures 

than they ever could in the wild. 

Logan: Do you think that Texas ranches are saving animals from extinction? 

Condy: There’s no question about it, that they are. 

Logan: What gives you the confidence to say what you’re saying? 

Condy: What gives me the confidence is when you look at the numbers, the 

animal numbers, okay, and you see that they’re not declining, that they’re either 

In April, a new rule issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service took effect, 

making it a crime to hunt the scimitar horned oryx -- and two other endangered 

antelope -- without a federal permit. Texas ranchers are challenging the new 

rule in court. 

Seale: Just since the announcement of that rule the value of those animals has 

probably dropped in half. You’ve got to understand, I’m a rancher to make a 

profit, just like any business. 

Logan: How does this rule change affect that? 

Seale: I will say that in five years you’ll see half the numbers that you see today. 

And I would venture to guess in 10 years they’ll be virtually none of ‘em left. 

Feral: The future for oryxes is Africa. It’s not Texas. 

Logan: Can the future not be both? Don’t they have a greater chance of survival 

the more of them there are? 

Feral: In their native lands. 

Logan: Regardless of where they are? 

Feral: I don’t think you can say regardless of where they are. A Texas hunting 

ranch is not the same as being in a reserve in Senegal. 

Condy: Put the hunting aspect to one side, and take a 50,000 foot view over 

this, this resource of a species that is extinct in the wild is going to disappear 

now from Texas, slowly but surely. 

Logan: So who’s winning the day here? 

Condy: I don’t think anybody’s winning the day. One thing is for sure, they are 

losing it. Those species are losing it.

Bear Creek Ranch is owned by the Coalson family of Mac A. Coalson 

Farm & Ranch Real Estate and is located in Palo Pinto County. The 

Central Texas ranch is diversified with cattle and wildlife in addition 

to a whitetail deer breeding operation. Wildlife on the ranch includes 

large flocks of turkeys, some bobcats, a few coyotes, squirrels, raccoons, 

a variety of song birds and small lakes stocked with bass and sunfish. 

Outdoor experiences build state economy 

Provision of outdoor adventures to urbanites by Texas ranchers and 

landowners add a significant number of dollars to the state’s economy. 

Hunter impact on Texas economy was reported in June 2011 by 

AgriLife Extension. The data for this report were gathered in 2010 

through studies in which nine counties participated. Monetary values of 

hunter appreciation events hosted by the counties and hunting related 

expenditures by hunters who attended these events were tabulated. 

The study report stated that each county experienced its own economic 

impact from hunters introducing new money into local economies. 

Impacts from non-local hunters ranged from $272,500 in gross sales 

and 2.3 full- and part-time jobs to $2.3 million in gross sales and 17.2 

jobs. Impact amounts were dependent upon the number of non-resident 

hunters and their spending patterns, in addition to spending by resident 

hunters. 

“The most popular reason for hunting in the surveyed counties was 

spending time with family and friends (61.4% of survey respondents),” 

the report states. “Enjoying the rural atmosphere (33.5%) and seeing 

vast quantities of wildlife (32.2%) were other popular reasons for 

hunting. The opportunity to harvest a trophy animal was an important 

consideration for 21.6% of the respondents.” 

Wildlife ranch customers expect to see numerous deer in good body 

condition with the males bearing beautiful sets of antlers regardless of 

whether the outdoor enthusiasts are hunting, photographing, or just 

watching. A primary objective of the Bear Creek Ranch is to fulfill these 

market needs by producing a whitetail deer herd with typical large 

antlers. The ranch manages for high-quality deer in natural habitat to 

provide hunters with memorable outdoor experiences. 

Providing what the customer wants 

Bear Creek Ranch is committed to managing deer for genetic 

improvement while improving and protecting their habitat. Their deer 

have typical Texas antlers with big wide frames, a balanced number of 

long, cylindrical tines and high Boone & Crocket scores. Good genetics, 

age and nutrition are required to produce this type of animal. 

The deer breeding facility on Bear Creek Ranch is operated under a 

permit issued by Texas Parks & Wildlife where whitetail deer are bred 

according to a genetic plan. 

“Foundation does anchor our strong breeding program,” says Coalson. 

“We picked our does on performance and pedigree and bred them 

to outstanding bucks by artificial insemination. Record keeping and 

monitoring their offspring were instrumental in the success of our 

genetic improvement plan. Breeding great sires to great does moved our 

program to the next level.” 

“We sell semen from outstanding sires to other breeders for genetic 

improvement in deer under their care,” continues Coalson. “Semen is 

available from well-known sires on our property including Baja, Achilles, 

Texas Kingpin, Excalibur and The Unknown Soldier. Both does and sires 

are sold to other breeders and to ranches for improving deer herds 

in their pastures. We also release deer from our permitted breeding 

facilities into our ranch.” 

Food and habitat 

Genetics don’t produce good animals without proper nutrition and good 

habitat. Basic nutrients required by whitetail deer for body growth and 

maintenance include protein, minerals, vitamins and energy in the form 

of fats and carbohydrates. If range and pastures are in good condition, 

deer can obtain most of their nutrient requirements from browsing 

native vegetation. 

A deer’s natural diet consists of primarily forbs (non-woody broad-leaf 

plants) and browse (plants with woody stems). Grass is only about 19 

percent of their diet. In contrast, grass comprises 85 to 90 percent of a 

cow’s diet with an occasional ingestion of forbs. 

“Beef cattle are an important part of our operation,” says Coalson. “They 

are pastured in areas where we need grass control. We have a real fear 

of wild fires and cattle control the fuel load. Grass control also enhances 

forb growth for the deer and other wildlife. The cattle are a nice income 

stream for the ranch because of current cattle prices.” 

“Both warm season and cool season food plots are planted when 

sufficient moisture is available,” continues Coalson. “We plant lablab 

and haygrazer in late winter or early spring and a mixture of oats, rye, 

wheat, arrowleaf clover, turnips and crimson clover in the fall. We often 

use the plots to supplement our cattle as well as deer. A commercial 

feed is routinely fed to the deer to replace nutrient deficits in the native 

browse and forage.” 

Woody plants (brush) are not only important for providing deer browse, 


ut they also furnish cover for loafing, escape and thermal protection. 

Deer often forage in areas with little cover and use brushy areas for 

escape. The animals generally prefer woody brush and trees interspersed 

within open areas at an approximate 3-to-1 ratio of woody cover to 

openings. The mosaic pattern of brush and clearing on the Bear Creek 

Ranch provides good habitat and ample space for viewing wildlife in a 

pristine environment. 

The importance of maintaining habitat in good condition can’t be 

overemphasized. It is critical that deer numbers be kept in balance with 

habitat and correct buck to doe ratios are maintained. 

“When we bought the ranch, there were six or seven does for every 

buck,” states Coalson. “Through selective harvest we now have a buck 

to doe ratio of one to two. Our goal is a ratio of one to one. By reducing 

the buck to doe ratio and adding the new genetics, we have improved 

herd quality tremendously.” 

A deer census is conducted annually on the Bear Creek Ranch. If the data 

show that there are too many deer, a selective harvest is undertaken. 

These practices help maintain both deer and habitat condition. 

Hunters and outdoor enthusiasts generate significant amounts of 

revenue for the Texas economy and they will continue to do so as long as 

they can observe big deer with typical, high-scoring antlers in addition to 

other wildlife. McAllen Coalson and the Bear Creek Ranch are doing their 

part through proper management techniques. Quality deer, a diversity of 

wildlife and the fine herd of crossbred cattle in a peaceful setting provide 

great recreation for guests and family.

A N e w D ay : S h e d d i n g 

L i g h t o n G r o u n d wat e r 

O w n e r s h i p i n T e x a s 

In Texas, ownership of water is based largely on whether it qualifies as surface 

water or groundwater. Surface water – generally, the water in rivers, lakes, 

streams, and the Gulf of Mexico – is owned by the state and held in trust for 

the public. Groundwater, on the other hand, is not publicly owned and has 

been subject to the rule of capture since the Texas Supreme Court issued the 

East decision in 1904. Often referred to as the “law of the biggest pump,” the 

rule of capture simply provides that a landowner has the right to withdrawal 

groundwater without incurring liability for losses to neighboring wells – it does 

not speak to ownership of the water prior to capture and extends no protection 

to landowners whose groundwater interests may be affected by heavy (nonwasteful) 

pumping on neighboring land. 

In the years following East, the Texas Legislature and voting public paved the way 

for the creation of groundwater conservation districts (GCDs) that could provide 

balance and help protect neighboring landowners from the law of the biggest 

pump. But questions of whether a landowner holds a constitutionally protected 

property right in groundwater in place continued to arise, both at the Texas 

Legislature and the Texas Supreme Court. The Texas Legislature responded to 

the question first, adopting Senate Bill (SB) 332 in 2011, recognizing that a 

landowner owns the groundwater below the surface as real property, subject to 

regulation by GCDs. 

In February, the Texas Supreme Court also weighed in on the question when 

it issued its long-awaited decision in Edwards Aquifer Authority v. Day and 

McDaniel. In its decision, the Court reiterated SB 332’s language, holding that a 

landowner has a property interest in the groundwater under his or her property, 

subject to the rule of capture and reasonable regulation by a GCD. The Court 

went a step further, suggesting that an overly restrictive regulatory scheme 

without justification may result in a compensable taking of private property, as 

judged by the facts of a particular case. 

The Court in Day found that the Edwards Aquifer Authority acted in complete 

accord with its state mandated regulatory scheme (which is more restrictive 

than regulations implemented by most other GCDs, as they are governed by 

a different statutory regime), but remanded the case to the district court for 

a determination of whether the implementation of those regulations in fact 

constituted a taking as to the Day plaintiffs. It included in its analysis factors that 

should be considered by the lower court, including economic impacts, the extent 

of interference with reasonable investment-backed expectations, and the nature 

or character of the regulation. 

Though the Day case is groundbreaking in that it is the first time Texas courts 

have held that landowners possess a constitutionally protected property right 

in groundwater in place, it appears that the practical effects of the case on 

most GCDs will likely be minor. Indeed, GCDs exist to protect private property 

rights and will continue to do so, balancing interests to prevent damage among 

property owners, avoid land subsidence, protect private wells, and ensure a 

continued and sustainable water supply into the future. In this regard, GCDs are 

no different than counties, municipalities, and other local governmental entities 

that must balance private and public interests on a regular basis. Furthermore, 

because SB 332 and Day are consistent with the statutes governing GCDs, 

they should not affect equitable GCD permitting and fairly implemented aquifer 

management activities. 

Though SB 332 and Day leave unanswered questions (it will be some time 

before the courts determine whether a taking in fact occurred in the Day case, 

and that holding may have limited applicability to other GCDs), they do not 

change the continued important and legally authorized role of groundwater 

management by GCDs, as endorsed by the Texas Legislature and the Texas 

Supreme Court. The alternative – no management of groundwater resources in 

Texas – affords landowners little protection and reinstates the unfettered rule of 

capture, where the deepest well and biggest pump prevail.

The dust has started to settle after state leaders, a federal agency and the energy industry 

cooperated to forge a workable solution to keep the dunes sagebrush lizard off the 

Endangered Species List. 

But our work doesn’t end there. 

Now that we’ve achieved resolution about this particular lizard, we have a unique opportunity 

to assess lessons learned and to identify ways to improve government processes (like the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service process of listing a species as endangered), which have 

major economic consequences for Texans. 

and gas production that is so critical to Texas and the nation. 

As research continued to reinforce that listing, the lizard was unwarranted and with the 

Texas Conservation Plan in place, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ultimately decided not 

to list the dunes sagebrush lizard on the Endangered Species List. 

The spirit of cooperation that made this outcome possible was widely and rightly applauded. 

With so many eyes on the issue, so many hands in the policy-making, and such extensive 

input in the final decision, it’s easy to chalk up the dunes sagebrush lizard as a win for all 

sides and call it a day. 

Instead, we should take this time to step back and examine the process and policymaking 

that was required to reach this much-heralded lizard-born truce. 

First, the reason the discussion about the dunes sage brush lizard matters is because 

listing this species as endangered had the potential to shut down production of 1 million 

barrels of oil a day in Texas -- one-fifth of the nation’s domestic oil production. 

To be certain, this little lizard became a very big deal. 

During negotiations about the lizard, the oil and natural gas industry injected research of 

the lizard’s habitat into the discussion and worked closely with Texas Comptroller Susan 

Combs and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to develop the Texas Conservation Plan. 

This pioneering plan emphasizes wildlife conservation while maintaining the domestic oil 

Without question, the decision to keep the dunes sagebrush lizard off the Endangered 

Species List is an example of the power of cooperation, research and innovative thinking 

coming together to form one remarkable outcome: 

Smart public policy, grounded in sound science that balances conservation with muchneeded 

domestic energy production. 

Deb Hastings is executive vice president of the Texas Oil & Gas Association.

The Texas Alliance of Land Brokers 

continues a steady growth trend, 

with an active expansion initiative 

ongoing in SE Texas to create a 

new chapter. Current membership 

total now exceeds 270, up from 

previous record of about 225, and 

the SE Texas group has formed a 

leadership committee, headed up 

by Deitra Robertson, and secretary 

Chris George, of Deitra Robertson 

Properties. Two SE Texas-area meetings have now been held, and the 

most recent, at El Jarrito in Katy area, attracted 60 on a rainy day to 

hear the venerable Judon Fambrough of the Texas Real Estate Center 

speak on groundwater issues and regulations. The next SE Texas lunch 

meeting is slated for Tuesday, August 14, at the County Line on Lake 

Conroe, all area rural real estate professionals are invited to attend! 

Regular meetings on the 2nd Tuesday of each month are now being 

planned for satellite locations around Houston. 

The Founding Chapter (Central Texas) continues their monthly meetings 

on the 4th Wednesday of the month, with future locations such as 

Grady’s in San Antonio, and Matt’s El Rancho in Austin, already booked. 

The most recent meeting at The Preserve at Walnut Springs, a very 

nice “cluster” development with over 1,500 acres of shared open 

space, was addressed by TWA’s senior policy analyst, Kirby Brown, one 

of our favorite speakers. He covered the full gamut of property rights 

issues – from groundwater to public utilities to private ownership of 

wildlife – and answered many pertinent questions at the conclusion of 

his presentation. 

A very special Christmas Banquet, featuring the father-son duo of Mike 

and Doc Blakely, is scheduled for Thursday, December 13, 2012, at 

the Omni Hotel in NW San Antonio on Interstate 10. These talented 

fellows will take us down a musical “trail” of western lore and songs, 

that should be unforgettable. A gourmet meal will be served, bars will 

be open, and nice rooms will be available for those wishing to stay over 

and do some Christmas shopping, at discount rates for TALB. Generous 

sponsors are stepping up to minimize event cost to members, which will 

be minimal. The TALB was established in 1994. More information is

Since our last quarterly report was 

published, our officers attended 

numerous district meetings around 

the state and traveled to Washington 

D.C. for visits with congressmen and 

their staffs. The lead association on the 

Washington trip was American Sheep 

Industry Association (ASI), with whom 

TSGRA works closely. ASI is supported 

by all the state organizations and has a 

very talented and capable staff. 

There were five people in the delegation 

representing Texas, who assisted the other 45 attendees from 19 

different states. Our group of 50 people converged upon Washington, 

making our voices heard on pending legislation affecting the sheep and 

goat industry and private property rights. 

While we were there, the Farm Bill was approved by the Senate, but 

there is still some doubt whether it will make it through the House of 

Representatives this year. The Senate version of the bill is friendly to 

the sheep industry as a whole. The bill’s acceptability should be credited 

to the hard work done by individuals and organizations such as TSGRA 

and ASI.

The Exotic Wildlife Association 

settled one of its lawsuits with the 

United States Fish and Wildlife 

Service (USFWS). This lawsuit 

was filed because of the USFWS 

refusal to acknowledge our request 

for delisting Scimitar Horned 

Oryx, Addax, and Dama Gazelle 

as endangered species. Under terms of the agreement, USFWS will 

address this issue by May 31, 2013. 

An amendment to the House Interior Appropriation’s bill was filed by 

Congressman John Carter (R) Round Rock, Texas on behalf of the 

Exotic Wildlife Association. This bill was passed out of Committee and 

sent to the floor of the House of Representatives. The amendment, if 

it survives, would put Scimitar Horned Oryx, Addax, and Dama Gazelle 

under the same status as they had in September 2005. It would also 

eliminate any further judicial review. Although it has a long way to go 

before it becomes law, the amendment did survive the first hurdle. 

All alternative livestock auctions report higher than normal prices on 

Axis, Blackbuck and Fallow. Prices for other species remain normal for 

this time of the year. There has been a slight decrease in the price of 

Scimitar Horned Oryx, Addax, and Dama Gazelle since the new rule 

took effect April 4, 2012. The demand for these three species remains 

strong, however. 

At last report less than 100 breeders and ranchers had applied for 

either the Captive Wildlife Breeders Permit and/or the “take” permit. 

Approximately 75% of those applications have been processed and 

approved. The others either have been denied because of wording on 

the permit or they are being scrutinized for accuracy. 

The Exotic Wildlife Association is moving its annual membership 

convention and its hunting awards banquet to San Marcos, Texas in 

2013. Both events will be held at the Embassy Suites San Marcos 

Convention Center. Dates for the Membership Meeting are March 8-9, 

2013 and the Trophy Game Records of the World’s annual awards 

banquet will be held on July 19-20, 2013. The EWA has outgrown 

the facilities in Kerrville and the new venue in San Marcos will give the 

association an opportunity for continued growth.

It’s been a busy spring and summer 

for the Texas and Southwestern Cattle 

Raisers Association. In April, more than 

2000 ranchers from across the state 

gathered in Fort Worth for the 135th 

annual TSCRA Convention weekend. 

Highlights included the TSCRA School 

for Successful Ranching, the TSCRA 

Trade Show and committee breakout 

sessions. 

More than 600 ranchers attended 

eight TSCRA Ranch Gatherings held 

across the state. Attendees enjoyed beef dinners, catching up with 

old friends, making new friends and listening to speakers talk about 

everything from cattle theft prevention to state and federal legislative 

and regulatory issues. On the education front, TSCRA put on multiple 

Beef Quality Assurance trainings, range and pasture field days, and 

hosted a few Ranching 101 seminars at TSCRA headquarters in Fort 

Worth. Monthly cattleman’s luncheons were also hosted in Dilley and 

Wichita Falls. 

In June, TSCRA members gathered in Fredericksburg for the summer 

board meeting. At the meeting Senator Troy Fraser, chairman of the 

Texas Senate Natural Resources Committee, discussed groundwater 

policy, and what to expect during the next legislative session. Season 

Solorio, director of issues management with the National Cattlemen’s 

Beef Association, spoke about social media strategies for ranchers and 

the beef industry. Members attended a wide variety of educational 

sessions, hosted by the TSCRA committees. The sessions covered topics 

including the state animal disease traceability proposal, upcoming water 

issues, and state and federal regulations and policies.

The Texas Wildlife Association’s 

annual convention was held from June 

28 through July 1 in San Antonio. 

Attendance included over 1500 TWA 

members, exhibitors, public attendees, 

and special guests. This is an all-time 

record in total convention attendance 

for our organization. 

The record attendance mirrors a very 

successful period for our organization in terms of positive TWA program 

impacts. Our work in issues and advocacy, youth and adult education, the 

Texas Youth Hunting Program and Texas Big Game Awards continue to 

make a real difference. 

In education during the past year, TWA conducted public programs and 

special events that reached over 42,000 direct and indirect contacts. 

Our L.A.N.D.S. Distance Learning, Discovery Trunks, and Wildlife By 

Design efforts impacted over 50,000 youth. Our L.A.N.D.S. Intensive 

School Curriculum and Teacher Outreach reached 4,000 youth and over 

1,300 educators. The Texas Brigades (Youth Leadership Development 

Program), supported by TWA, has positively impacted 2100 students 

across Texas in the last 20 years, resulting in over 250,000 direct 

contacts. 

This past hunting season, the Texas Youth Hunting Program conducted 

150 safe and educational hunts across our state with 1,291 youth 

hunters, 139 landowners, and 1,400 trained volunteers. The Texas 

Big Game Awards recognized over 1,000 entries for the 2011-2012 

season, including Youth, First-Timers, Hunters, and Landowners, and it 

sponsored regional and statewide Sportsman’s Celebrations to promote 

“Hunting Equals Habitat!” 

It’s been a great year and period for the Texas Wildlife Association. It 

wouldn’t be possible without the tremendous support of our 6,000 

passionate members and volunteers.

MARKET REPORT 

2 0 1 2 

H av e W e T u r n e d 

a C o r n e r ? 

The Texas land market in the first half of 2012 posted encouraging results 

with prices rising nearly 7 percent above the 2011 statewide price in 

only six months. That price increase appears to continue a trend toward 

strengthening prices that emerged in the second half of 2011. However, 

evidence of strengthening markets was mitigated by the fact that sales 

still focused on small tracts. In addition, the volume of transactions does 

not appear to have expanded beyond the sluggish pace posted in recent 

years. Robust recovery would normally see total volumes increase. All of 

these circumstances suggest many opportunities to purchase a ranch 

or farm may await the 

intrepid buyer this year. 

Regional results reveal 

continued remarkable 

strength in the Panhandle 

and West Texas where 

market-wide prices reflect 

the sustained strong 

demand for cropland 

and working ranches. 

Strengthening prices 

also reigned from East 

Texas Gulf Coast down 

to the Lower Rio Grande 

Valley. Even the central 

Hill Country markets 

saw prices recover from 

a modest 2011 retreat. 

Only northeast Texas, 

spanning the region from 

the D/FW metroplex 

to Texarkana, remained 

lackluster with prices 

continuing the slide 

recorded in 2011. These 

results suggest that a 

sustained decline in land 

prices across the state like 

Cutline 1 - These results suggest that a sustained decline in land prices across the state like those registered 

in the 1986-92 era will not be repeated. 

Cutline 2 - Perhaps the strong showing in the first half of 2012 is a signal that markets are poised to see 

both prices and volume of sales move up. 

those registered in the 

1986-92 era will not be repeated. 

Indeed, the experience in land markets nationwide showed shows 

strong results when comparing USDA National Agricultural Statistics 

Service (NASS) to Texas prices as estimated by the Real Estate Center 

at Texas A&M University. The chart entitled U.S. and Texas Land Value 

Estimates shows the history of US land prices versus the Texas land 

market experience. The typical size-adjusted value estimated for Texas 

parallels the national estimate remarkably well for most of the 42-year 

comparison. In the 1973-75 era, the economic boom sparked by rising 

oil prices drove Texas land markets higher. In the 1983-85 time frame, 

Texas prices outpaced the national average as declining commodity 

prices hammered farmland markets. Market-wide Texas prices, with 

markets overwhelmingly dominated by rangeland, escaped much of 

the negative pressures on cropland prices. The oil price bust, saving 


and loan scandal, and income tax law changes all arriving in 1986 hit 

Texas especially hard. Investors adopted a skeptical attitude toward all 

real estate investments in Texas following sizable losses from 1986- 

1988. The skepticism continued, causing Texas prices to lag well short 

of national prices until 2004. 

When Texas land markets began their remarkable rise from 2004- 

2008, many long-time Texas observers could scarcely believe the prices 

abroad in the market. Some began to realize that buyers from other 

states viewed Texas land 

prices as bargains. In 

view of that long period 

when Texas markets 

under-performed national 

markets, perhaps those 

out-of-state buyers were 

right. Both series of prices 

converged in 2004 and 

both peaked in 2008. 

Following the onset of 

the financial market nearmeltdown, 

both series 

dropped in 2009, and 

have been on the mend 

since 2010. Once again, 

as feverish investment 

activity has driven markets 

for cropland nationwide, 

Texas overall prices have 

fallen short of the national 

numbers, for now. 

However, the Eagle Ford 

Shale boom in south 

Texas is pumping billions 

into the Texas economy 

and projections envision 

10 to 20 years of drilling 

activity to fully develop 

the field. Fracking in the Permian Basin has Midland-Odessa booming 

again as well. All of that activity is driving job growth in Houston. In 

addition, Texas has not sustained the same degree of economic carnage 

other locales have suffered following the sub-prime fiasco. Although land 

markets stumbled in 2009 and demand for recreational properties has 

withered over the past three years, perhaps the strong showing in the 

first half of 2012 is a signal that markets are poised to see both prices 

and volume of sales move up.

The Ultimate Property Showing Tool 

Ranch brokers have a unique set of skills and tools to aid them as they show 

massive properties to prospective buyers. Seeing every bit of a large property, 

or seeing several properties in a single day, requires planning and a great 

knowledge of properties’ most interesting areas, back-roads, and simple trails. 

They have expressed a great desire to have a better way of organizing this 

information while giving the client a broad overview of the property as a whole 

Shows the number of properties displayed to users during searches across the

Exotic Animal For Your Ranch 

This is the first post in a three post 

series all about exotic animals for your 

ranch. In discussing this subject in depth, 

LandsofAmerica.com hopes to provide 

the basic information as well as links to 

well-established resources on the subject. 

Stays tuned for the exciting upcoming 

posts in the series over the next few 

weeks. Today, we’ll be answering four 

questions. 

Pitfalls of Severing Wind Rights 

With the rapid acceleration of wind energy development in America, some 

landowners are looking to “cash out” of land ownership and retain the wind 

rights for the opportunity to “cash in” if future wind development occurs on their 

previously owned land. But this is not as simple as it might sound. There can be 

pitfalls involved with the severing of wind rights for both the landowner and the 

wind energy developer. 

How Do You Show Big Ranches? 

With properties being sold on LandsofAmerica.com ranging from 0 to 350,000 acres, showing land for sale can be quite an undertaking compared to traditional 

home-showing real estate. With so much ground to cover, most of which may not be accessible by car, how are our clients showing these giant properties in a way 

to make them attractive options to potential buyers?

HG Ranch

It offers significant flooded timber areas, and has a substantial drain valve system 

in place to manage water levels. One large brood pond is at an elevation above the 

lake, and allows for easy stocking into the main lake. This premium ranch, in the
