P u b l i s h e r’s L e t t e r<br />

Welcome to the Lands of Texas Magazine <strong>Fall</strong> Issue <strong>2013</strong>! We are proud to have Robert Dullnig with<br />

Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty present for sale the legendary Y.O. Ranch on our cover. The Y.O. has<br />

earned a reputation worldwide as “America’s Original Game Ranch.” Read about this famous ranch and<br />

unique opportunity to own a big chunk of Texas history beginning on page 13.<br />

In this issue, you can find articles on deer and wildlife management, water rights, the Top 50 Sold and Big<br />

50 For Sale properties, updated Market Report from Dr. Charlie Gilliland and our new Property& Broker<br />

Search Index. And don’t miss our Broker Spotlight on Matt Mann with La Gloria Land Co. Matt is<br />

rapidly distinguishing himself has one Texas’ finest Brokers.<br />

Reports are coming in from Brokers across the state that the first half of <strong>2013</strong> has shown the best sales<br />

activity in five years, and there’s no sign of a slow-down. Properties are selling, prices are going up and<br />

great deals are still available. Land is a true source of wealth, provision and pleasure, as well as a secure<br />

investment.<br />

In the words of Matt Mann from the Broker Spotlight interview, “For me, the number one benefit is that<br />

when I lay my head on my pillow at night, I feel that my money is safe and sound in a land investment. I know the stock market is unreliable, volatile at times,<br />

and therefore, stocks are not what I want the bulk of my portfolio in. Second, while my land asset is increasing in value, I can make memories with my family<br />

on the ranch. I have an outlet for all my hobbies on the ranch. I enjoy the land. I have never enjoyed a gold bar or an account statement I get in the mail.”<br />

Email us with your questions, comments and experience buying or selling land or why you love it. We enjoy hearing from you!<br />

Keepin’ it Rural!<br />

Tom Alexander, Publisher<br />

F r o m t h e E d i t o r<br />

As I am sending this issue to press, I find myself thinking about the idea of “all things land.” Could<br />

there be a more pervasive, and loaded, topic? Isn’t that what we really talk about when we talk about land:<br />

keeping up with the pace of change?<br />

And that translates to the premise for this magazine --- all things land and the pace of change. So, we<br />

are determined to continually change and improve, to keep up with that pace and to bring you all things<br />

land. With incredible plans and new features to come, it is our goal to be the one resource regarding land<br />

ownership. Whether you are a buyer, an owner, a broker or just a land fan, we will do what it takes to be<br />

your singular, reliable, comprehensive land source.<br />

So, let us know how we are doing and what you want to see from us in issues to come.<br />

Blessings,<br />

Lauret Jarvis<br />

“When we change the shape of the Land, we alter the contents and<br />

contexts of our collective, familial, and personal memories. Yet,<br />

stories can preserve both mythic and familiar elements of geography<br />

even when the physical features are forgotten, buried, or obliterated.<br />

And more than this: the stories can bring these elements back. If<br />

the Land can be preserved long enough for its stories to be told, and<br />

retold, perhaps we all — as custodians of both place and memory<br />

— stand a chance at real preservation.” - Ari Berk

The Legendary Y.O. Ranch<br />

Captain Charles A. Schreiner, merchant, banker,<br />

philanthropist, and pioneer rancher, joined the Texas<br />

Rangers in 1854 and served with distinction until<br />

1857, when he entered the cattle business in Kerr<br />

County. The Y.O. Ranch, purchased in 1880, became<br />

headquarters for the Schreiner Cattle Company, and the<br />

Live Oak Ranch, now forming portions of the Y.O., was<br />

headquarters for its sheep operations. Throughout six<br />

generations, the ranch is notable for many firsts, including leasing land for hunting to provide income, establishing<br />

a registry for Texas Longhorns that brought the legendary breed back from the brink of extinction, and for<br />

introducing exotic hoof stock that earned the ranch a reputation world-wide as ‘America’s Original Game Ranch’.<br />

With an established infrastructure, it is a notable destination for native and exotic hunting,<br />

Longhorn cattle and animal auctions, ranch tours, social and corporate events, and superb<br />

recreation and relaxation. Native wildlife includes whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, quail and<br />

wild boar. Exotic wildlife includes Scimitar Horned Oryx, Blesbok antelope, Black Wildebeest,<br />

Beisa Oryx, Eland, Red Sheep, Persian Ibex, Pere David Deer, Barasingha Deer, Blackbuck<br />

antelope, Axis deer, Sika deer, <strong>Fall</strong>ow deer, Aoudad sheep, and Corsican Ram among others.<br />

An innovative animal conservation program has assured strength of these herds and made the<br />

legendary Y.O. Ranch a world leader in exotic game preservation.<br />

shelterFrom<br />

the<br />

storm<br />

It’s<br />

autumn in Texas. Humidity levels have<br />

plummeted, and there’s not a cloud in the<br />

sky. We’re on the backside of hurricane<br />

season, and tornado season is several months away.<br />

But as sure as winter is coming, so is twister time. And now<br />

may be the best time to create a safe haven for your family<br />

during a storm — especially if you live in rural Texas.<br />

Early Texas pioneers often relied on underground root<br />

cellars or storm caves built into hillsides for protection<br />

from tornadoes and other inclement weather. Without<br />

advanced weather forecasting systems, they had to be<br />

prepared for the worst.<br />

Storm shelter technology and manufacturing have come<br />

a long way. According to the National Storm Shelter Association,<br />

research into buildings that resist extreme winds<br />

began after a tornado claimed 26 lives and heavily damaged<br />

Lubbock in 1970. Texas Tech University researchers<br />

produced a documentary of building damage, the first<br />

of its kind, and were the first to present the concept of<br />

above-ground storm shelters. Recently, major storms in<br />

our region have inspired a surge of new interest in taking<br />

shelter at home.<br />

Today a variety of shelter types offers homeowners many<br />

choices. The first decision is when to install a shelter, and<br />

the most practical, economical time is during home construction<br />

or remodeling. Deciding whether you want your<br />

shelter located inside or outside your home will help you<br />

narrow down your options.<br />

safe rooms Provide “Near-Absolute” Protection<br />

A safe room provides the quickest access to safety and<br />

can be built as a reinforced interior room on a home’s first<br />

floor or in a basement. An in-ground safe room can also<br />

be installed beneath a concrete slab or garage floor.<br />

According to the Federal Emergency Management<br />

Association (FEMA) guidebook Taking Shelter From the<br />

Storm, a safe room at a home or small business “can help<br />

provide ‘near-absolute’ protection for you and your family<br />

or employees from injury or death caused by the dangerous<br />

forces of extreme winds.”<br />

Quick access to “near-absolute” protection is what attracted<br />

John and Natasha Sawyer to include a safe room<br />

in blueprints for the home they built in 2007, a few miles<br />

north of Hillsboro, Texas.<br />

“We knew that when we built our new home, we wanted a<br />

shelter, and we wanted it in the house,” Natasha says. “The<br />

water table is pretty high out here, so we knew a basement<br />

wouldn’t work.”<br />

Based on specifications provided by FEMA and the Texas<br />

Tech University Tornado Research Center, the Sawyers’<br />

builder constructed their 10-by-12-foot cinder-block safe<br />

room as an interior room on the first floor of their home,<br />

with an easily accessible metal door and no windows.<br />

They covered the cinder blocks with drywall, so that it<br />

looks like any other interior room. The steel door is built<br />

to FEMA code, with multiple hinges and at least three<br />

deadbolt locks, and is covered in hickory to match the<br />

home’s other interior doors.


Tornadoes tend to move quickly through an area, so you<br />

won’t need to stay in the safe room during a twister for<br />

very long. According to FEMA, about 5 square feet of<br />

floor area per person is plenty of space for a safe room. For<br />

protection from hurricanes, which last longer, comfort is<br />

a higher priority, and FEMA recommends 7 to 20 square<br />

feet of floor space per occupant.<br />

Because safe rooms are located inside a home, they can<br />

serve a dual purpose as a home office, closet or storage<br />

area for valuables. For example, Jason Gandy, vice president<br />

of Capital Farm Credit in Lubbock, financed a rural<br />

home near Idalou that included a basement and a safe<br />

room that doubles as a gun safe in a closet. On the downside,<br />

safe rooms are generally the most expensive option,<br />

especially when installing one in an existing home.<br />

underground shelters Protect Against high<br />

Winds and Debris<br />

An underground tornado shelter is not exposed to high<br />

winds and debris like an above-ground shelter is. Built of<br />

concrete, fiberglass, plastic or steel, underground shelters<br />

can be accessible from either inside or outside the home.<br />

When Garry and Charlene Lightfoot were building their<br />

rural home six years ago, they considered several shelter<br />

designs and sizes before opting for a prefabricated concrete<br />

in-ground room. Wanting a safe place close to the<br />

house that they could access in a hurry, the couple located<br />

their shelter just steps from their back porch.<br />

About the size of a bathroom, the room is constructed in<br />

two sections. A local septic contractor did the work, digging<br />

the hole and positioning the bottom half into it. “We<br />

have black dirt here, and no rock, which made excavation<br />

easy,” says Charlene.<br />

The top half of the structure and the steel door came next,<br />

along with a turbine vent for air circulation. A tar-like<br />

sealant on the seam protects against leaks.<br />

Kenneth Hooper, vice president with Panhandle-Plains<br />

Land Bank in Plainview, says that in his area of the Texas<br />

Panhandle, it just makes sense to have a storm shelter.<br />

Knowing that your home offers protection from the havoc<br />

of Mother Nature can provide peace of mind that far outweighs<br />

the expense, he adds.<br />

heading your way, you aren’t going to be thinking about<br />

how much a shelter cost. You’re going to be thinking about<br />

how glad you are to have it.”<br />

The costs associated with storm shelters can easily be<br />

rolled into a home construction or home improvement<br />

loan, he points out.<br />

The total cost for the Lightfoots’ installed shelter, which<br />

could accommodate six to eight people, was $3,000 in<br />

2007, and it was financed as part of their home loan with<br />

Texas Land Bank.<br />

“Some people don’t feel like it is a necessity to spend the<br />

money, but one night we spent 1½ hours in there, and<br />

I was very glad we had it,” says Charlene.<br />

Groundwater Rights Have Become<br />

Negotiable in Property Sales<br />

As the supply of Texas groundwater continues to dwindle, the value<br />

escalates and landowners realize that it can add another revenue stream to<br />

the property. It is not uncommon for groundwater ownership to be one of the<br />

negotiable points in rural land sales. Groundwater ownership is sometimes<br />

retained by the seller and the buyer takes possession of the property with<br />

limited or no access to water beneath the surface.<br />

In the following paragraphs Regan Beck and Stephanie McMullen,<br />

Assistant General Counsels for Public Policy, with the Texas Farm Bureau<br />

describe a Texas Court of Appeals case between the City of Del Rio and<br />

Clayton Sam Colt Hamilton Trust.<br />

In 1997, the state sold 15 acres from the ranch’s western border to the City<br />

of Del Rio. The warranty deed that conveyed the tract to the City contained<br />

the following clause: “Grantor RESERVES unto Grantor, its successors,<br />

heirs and assigns forever all water rights associated with said tract, however,<br />

Grantor may not use any portion of the surface of said tract for exploring,<br />

drilling or producing any such water.”<br />

“In 2000, three years after the City purchased the tract, they<br />

realized that their municipal drinking water supply needed augmenting,”<br />

Beck relates. “A year and a half later, the City drilled a well on the property<br />

that tested to pump approximately 500 gallons per minute and produce<br />

several hundred thousand gallons of water. The well was completed in the<br />

summer of 2002, at a cost to the City of about $850,000.”<br />

About six months after the City had the well tested, Hamilton, the<br />

trustee of the Trust visited the property and noticed drilling activity on the 15-<br />

acre tract. He then had the Trust’s attorney send the City a letter demanding<br />

that it neither produce nor capture any water from the well. A short time later,<br />

the Trust’s attorney gave formal notice of a $500,000 claim against the City.<br />

After the City rejected the Trust’s claim, the Trust filed suit against<br />

the City, seeking a declaratory judgment that 1) it owned the groundwater<br />

beneath the 15-acre tract, and 2) the City’s claim of ownership to those<br />

water rights should be rejected. The Trust also sought monetary damages<br />

for unconstitutional taking and action for trespass.<br />

City of Del Rio responded with a counterclaim, seeking a<br />

declaratory judgment that the warranty deed did not leave the Trust with<br />

“right, title, or interest in any groundwater pumped to the surface by the City”<br />

on the 15-acre tract and that any groundwater pumped to the surface was<br />

the City’s property. The City also pled for condemnation of the water rights.<br />

“McMullen explained that the trial court concluded that:<br />

1) The water rights reservation was valid and enforceable.<br />

2) The City’s argument that groundwater, until captured, cannot<br />

be the subject of ownership was an incorrect statement of the law.<br />

3) Ownership to the groundwater rights beneath the 15-acre tract<br />

belonged to the Trust.<br />

“The City appealed and the Texas Court of Appeals upheld the<br />

judgment of the trial court,” says Beck. “These court decisions develop case<br />

law that affirm the right of landowners to reserve groundwater rights when<br />

selling property, unless they are in a groundwater district.”<br />

Chapter 36 of the Texas Water Code gives groundwater<br />

conservation districts the right to regulate the use of groundwater. It is<br />

stated in Chapter 36, “Nothing in this code shall be construed as granting the<br />

authority to deprive or divest a landowner, including a landowner’s lessees,<br />

heirs, or assigns, of the groundwater ownership and rights described by this<br />

section.”<br />

Whether buying land within or outside a groundwater conservation<br />

district, it is wise to examine the conveyance deed closely to ensure that<br />

groundwater rights are not being reserved by the seller. Even though the<br />

reservation might be illegal, getting it revoked through the courts can be<br />

expensive.<br />

Whether buying land within or outside a<br />

groundwater conservation district, it is wise to<br />

examine the conveyance deed closely to ensure<br />

that groundwater rights are not<br />

being reserved by the seller.<br />

AT THE END OF THE DAY<br />

Interview with Matt Mann<br />

by Courtney Donnell<br />

I have no doubt that when Matt<br />

Mann, owner of La Gloria Land<br />

Company, rests his head on his<br />

pillow at night, he does so knowing<br />

that he gave his absolute best that<br />

day. An inherent ethic of hard work,<br />

family and faith is evident in each<br />

and every compartment of his life,<br />

and there are many. Matt is an avid<br />

hunter, devoted father and husband,<br />

active humanitarian, proud Texan<br />

…and oh yeah, he’s an Aggie.<br />

broker spotlight


Your family has some history in the ranch development business. How<br />

did it all start?<br />

Well, my grandfather, Wayne Mann, owned a welding supply business in his<br />

twenties. He liked to take his customers hunting and had quail leases all over<br />

south Texas. As a result, he developed great relationships with a lot of land<br />

owners. His first ranch deal happened when the owner of a 30,000 acre ranch<br />

asked him if he could help him sell his ranch. Wayne then went out and put<br />

a group of about 15 buyers together. They bought that ranch. His agreement<br />

with the seller and all the buyers was that for him putting the deal together,<br />

he would get first pick out of the 30,000 acres. He chose 1500 acres with 4<br />

miles of Nueces river frontage and paid $110 an acre. The initial seller was<br />

happy, the other 15 buyers ended up making good money on the deal and<br />

my grandfather acquired his first ranch. He quickly realized he was good at<br />

doing this, that he really enjoyed it, and that there was a huge opportunity<br />

there, he quit the welding supply business and started buying and selling<br />

ranches. In his lifetime he has probably bought and sold well over a million<br />

acres. My dad, got into it, probably fifteen years ago. He is an entrepreneur<br />

and has started and then sold several companies, mainly in the construction<br />

industry. He went in and partnered with my granddad. Now, they buy and<br />

sell ranches together.’<br />

When and how did you get started selling ranches?<br />

I’ve been around land sales all my life, so when the time was right I started my<br />

own ranch brokerage firm. I got started full time in 2006. My first listing<br />

was in Jim Wells County between Premont and San Diego. It was 665 acres.<br />

And, you know, I thought I was going to starve to death. But, I sold it and I<br />

got a really big check. I thought, “Man, this is great. My hard work paid off,<br />

and I am going to work even harder.”<br />

What is the best or most interesting deal you have ever worked on?<br />

They have all been interesting in different ways. I love learning new things;<br />

and you learn something new on every deal. The deal I am most excited about<br />

right now, is a 300 acre ranch I bought myself last year, just outside of Quero.<br />

It is my first ranch to buy. I plan to sell it soon, but am still up in the air if I<br />

want to undertake developing it for commercial use or just fix it up and turn<br />

around and sell it. It is a beautiful place and I am quite excited about it.<br />

What is the strangest experience you have had showing a ranch?<br />

It’s funny, I have actually tossed around the idea of compiling a book on<br />

the funny and strange stories around the industry. Because it is fun to swap<br />

stories with other brokers and we all have a list of at least ten really funny<br />

things experienced on a showing. I have a ton of them, but the one that<br />

38<br />

“To most Texans, ranch ownership is the<br />

ultimate expression of what a person values:<br />

nature, family and independence.”<br />

F a l l 2 0 1 3<br />

comes to mind, I was showing a listing and I came across<br />

two poachers carrying rifles. They were actually kind of<br />

ticked at me for disturbing their hunting. They asked me<br />

“What in the world I was doing?” Of course, I told them I<br />

was trying to sell the ranch to the folks sitting in my truck.<br />

We had a friendly visit about the incredible hunting they<br />

had experienced on the property and all the big deer they<br />

had killed. You know, they had a great sales pitch, but<br />

needless to say, I never heard back from those buyers again.<br />

What have you learned is the most important aspect of<br />

selling ranches?<br />

My dad always told me, “The harder you work, the luckier<br />

you get.” I have found that to be true. You know, that<br />

one late phone call, that one twenty hour day, that one<br />

showing that is eight hours away, you never know when<br />

that extra effort is going to pay off in the long run. So,<br />

I don’t ever slack up. I can’t afford to. It takes diligence,<br />

not only in your marketing efforts, but in creating trusting<br />

relationships with your clients. It takes work and energy to<br />

meet the needs of my clients, which is what I strive for, whether its getting<br />

a fence builder or dozer operator out there, staying on top of surveyors,<br />

communicating with attorneys, or spending time at a courthouse. It’s not<br />

just about “selling”, it’s about being the complete package to close the deal.<br />

How has the industry changed over the years?<br />

Having been on the sidelines of this industry for decades watching family<br />

members buy and sell ranchland, I’ve seen a huge appreciation in land values.<br />

In the last 7 years as a broker, I have seen a huge shift in marketing techniques,<br />

especially online advertising. Buyers are more sophisticated. They understand<br />

the market better and its potential pitfalls. That makes selling a little more<br />

sophisticated of a business.<br />

I have also experienced the Eagle Ford Shale, which is a real game changer for<br />

this industry. Five years ago, before the Eagle Ford was a common subject,<br />

not many buyers or sellers realized the massive impact that mineral ownership<br />

would have on their land investment.<br />

How is the Eagle Ford changing the industry?<br />

Mineral ownership is the dominant estate in Texas, therefore the mineral<br />

owner supersedes the surface owner. So, if you own the surface, but you<br />

do not own the mineral rights, that mineral rights owner, sitting a thousand<br />

miles away, or wherever, has the right to lease those minerals to an oil and gas<br />

company, giving them the right to use your surface to drill, produce, refine,<br />

and export their minerals. As only a surface owner, you cannot stop that


from happening.<br />

I have met numerous people that bought land with mineral rights when<br />

there was no production. Now, they cannot spend their royalty money fast<br />

enough. There are Eagle Ford wells all over their ranch, and they may not<br />

like the traffic and noise, but they don’t mind getting that check in the mail!<br />

I have also met just as many people who have had their recreational ranches<br />

ruined by drilling operations and sadly, they don’t own any of the mineral<br />

rights. If you have a listing with minerals, it is a lot easier to sell. If you have<br />

a listing without the mineral rights and there is production on the ranch, it is<br />

really a turnoff to potential buyers.<br />

Even if a property is not in the Eagle Ford Shale, mineral rights are still hugely<br />

important. You never know when the next oil play is going to hit. You never<br />

know when new technology is going to come in with the ability to get to<br />

deeper oil and gas plays.<br />

What do you think is the greatest benefit of owning land?<br />

For me, the number one benefit is that when I lay my head on my pillow at<br />

night, I feel that my money is safe and sound in a land investment. I know<br />

the stock market is unreliable, volatile at times, and therefore, stocks are not<br />

what I want the bulk of my portfolio in. Second, while my land asset is<br />

increasing in value, I can make memories with my family on the ranch. I<br />

have an outlet for all my hobbies on the ranch. I enjoy the land. I have never<br />

enjoyed a gold bar or an account statement I get in the mail.<br />

Where else have you lived besides Texas?<br />

Right after I graduated from A & M, I went to China for three years on both<br />

a work and student visa. When I was there, I worked with a humanitarian<br />

ministry to both teach and help provide resources previously unavailable<br />

to them. At the same time, I worked for an American company that<br />

brokered deals between European and American companies and Chinese<br />

manufacturers.<br />

You speak fluent Chinese?<br />

Yes, I do. Basically, I was put into a classroom with only one other American,<br />

and my teacher who was Chinese, of course, and didn’t speak a lick of English.<br />

I was frustrated for several months until, all of a sudden, it felt like my brain<br />

grew another gear. It took off from there. Immersion is for sure the key to<br />

learning a second language.<br />

You are still very active in humanitarian work and the ministry. How<br />

do you feel humanitarian/ministry experience has influenced your work<br />

today?<br />

I would say, humanitarian and ministry work is very similar to sales. There are<br />

a lot of highs and lows. Just like I trusted God for the results of my ministry,<br />

I trust him now with the rest of my business. I have always told God that I<br />

would try and have a loose grip on whatever it is that I possess in this world,<br />

whether it is a dollar, a position or role, a job or even a relationship. In that<br />

same vein of thinking, I hold each sales deal with a loose grip. I can’t force<br />

people to pull the trigger and buy something. I just have to work hard and<br />

do the best job I can and trust God for the results. In ministry, I learned to<br />

sow seeds of faith very generously with a very broad target, knowing that I<br />

do not cause people to respond. I am just a messenger. It was very freeing<br />

for me to realize that. At the end of the day, the result is not up to me. That<br />

attitude helps me get through the highs and lows of selling land with a fairly<br />

even keel. I just work as hard I can, being the best at what I do as I can, treat<br />

people the way I want to be treated, and at the end of the day, I trust God<br />

with the results.<br />

If you had to pick another career….any career…What would you do?<br />

That is a hard question. I like a lot of different things. If I was making a career<br />

change to actually be successful, I would get into the land development business,<br />

in and around small oil towns in Texas. If it was solely for the fun of it, I would<br />

open a restaurant. I would hire an Aggie MBA to run it; and I would be the chef!<br />

of what a person values: nature, family and independence.<br />

What is the thing in life you are most proud of?<br />

My two sons, Benaiah and Khyber. I just love them to death. Even though,<br />

they are still pretty young, I have made it my mission in life, to train them<br />

to be men of integrity. I cannot wait to teach them how to be a man. I am<br />

excited to see what they will accomplish in their lifetimes. My wife and I are<br />

just trying to be good examples for them.<br />

Those are quite interesting names. Do they have a purpose behind them?<br />

We wanted them to have unique names. Benaiah is a Hebrew name. In the<br />

Old Testament, he was one of David’s Mighty Men and known for being a<br />

hero. On his exploits, he killed several lions with his bare hands, very brave<br />

and courageous. I want my son to be a courageous person as he grows up and<br />

to know that he can kill the lions in his life.<br />

As for Khyber, I did some humanitarian work in Pakistan and Afghanistan<br />

and drove through the Khyber Pass, which is basically the only way you can<br />

get through the Hindu Kush mountains, along the border. For thousands<br />

of years, it was a stronghold. Many conquerors tried to get through from<br />

Genghis Khan to Alexander the Great. They never succeeded. Khyber is of<br />

Hebrew origin as well, it means “fortress”.<br />

What would you cook?<br />

That is another thing about me…I don’t like to be put in a box. I like to cook<br />

all kinds of foods, Asian, Indian, Moroccan food; and then of course, wild<br />

game…I love to grill. I love to eat what I kill, quail, dove, deer. We haven’t<br />

bought beef or hamburger meat in five years. I just really enjoy cooking,<br />

trying new recipes and experimenting.<br />

Their namesakes were chosen to help them later, when they get old enough,<br />

to be able to look back on their names and think, “This is who I am,” even<br />

when they are facing opposition in life.<br />

What is your favorite thing about Texas?<br />

Definitely the culture! I love culture. I love learning about other cultures.<br />

But, Texas culture is in my blood. Texans understand why other Texans<br />

believe that this is the best place to be from. Texans have a lot of pride in<br />

their state, their Alamo, their football, their Tex-Mex, their industry, as they<br />

should. Texans feel at home with Texans, no matter where they hang their<br />

hats.<br />

Rumor has it you are quite a hunter. Tell me about hunting in Texas?<br />

Well, I love to hunt, fish…Been doing them both for as long as I can<br />

remember. I enjoy hunting a variety of game, especially dove, quail, turkey<br />

and deer.<br />

My favorite type of hunting, hands down is for quail. Working with the dogs<br />

is half the fun. I go quail hunting four of five times a year with my grandfather,<br />

who instilled his love for the sport in me. It is something I treasure doing<br />

with him. It really is an art and I will pass it along to my boys someday.<br />

One of the things lately, that has been really fun, has been teaching my wife,<br />

who had never seen a gun, a ranch, or a deer before she met me. I have just<br />

as much fun helping her, as I do hunting myself.<br />

And, then when the shoulder starts to hurt from shooting, we head to the<br />

coast to wade fish. Just another one of the things I love about Texas!<br />

How important do you feel the “Recreational Ranch” is to the real estate<br />

in Texas?<br />

Well it is the most important to me personally, not just because I make my<br />

living selling them, but because it is a part of the Texas dream. You know, you<br />

have the American Dream and then you have the Texas dream. Everyone in<br />

Texas knows someone who owns a “big Texas ranch”, whether it is 100 acres<br />

or 10,000 acres. To most Texans, ranch ownership is the ultimate expression<br />

HOW TO DRIVE<br />

TRAFFIC TO YOUR<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />

WEBSITE<br />

Our first two articles talked about building your website and then<br />

what content should be on your website. Now we need to talk about how<br />

to get people to that great website you spent so much time building.<br />

If you’re like many small business owners, you are bombarded<br />

with advertising promising “Page 1 Google search results”. Can these<br />

companies really deliver on their advertising promises? How do they do<br />

it and how much does it really cost? What is Search Engine Optimization<br />

(SEO)? And what about other approaches to drive traffic; like Google Ad<br />

Words or Facebook? This article will hopefully help you make more sense<br />

of the current “wild, wild west” of the internet marketing landscape.<br />

But before we plunge into the SEO world, let me more formally<br />

introduce you to my best development friend in the internet community.<br />

His name is WordPress.<br />

WordPress is the web software platform that I recommend.<br />

The core software is free and is built by hundreds of community<br />

volunteers. Over 60 million people have chosen WordPress to power their<br />

website.<br />

So, when I mentioned in article 1 that making use of pre-built<br />

website templates (or themes) can save you a lot of time and money,<br />

WordPress is my preferred platform for choosing a theme. And, when<br />

I mentioned in article 2 that the best way to keep your website updated<br />

(and do the support yourself) is with a good Content Management System<br />

(CMS), WordPress is my preferred CMS platform.<br />

I didn’t mention it by name in the first two articles as there<br />

are certainly other web development platforms that are good. However,<br />

the benefits of WordPress for SEO activity are well known and proven,<br />

so I thought it best to be more specific in this article. And WordPress is<br />

an excellent foundation platform for mobile devices, which will be the<br />

subject of article 4 in this series.<br />

So, what is SEO?<br />

SEO is the process of making your website friendlier to search<br />

engines so that your site ranks higher in search results when potential<br />

customers search for keywords related to your business. Basically, the<br />

goal of SEO is to optimize your website so people find your site and not<br />

your competition.<br />

How companies deliver this goal varies in both approach and<br />

cost. The good companies typically follow what is known as the CLA<br />

formula… Content, Links and Activity. As discussed in article 2, your<br />

website must have quality content. But to win at the SEO game, links<br />

and backlinks must be generated to point to your website to prove its<br />

popularity to the search engines. Companies that have been around a<br />

long time have lots of links generated in an organic manner… to their<br />

advantage. Newer companies must find other innovative (and legal)<br />

ways to generate those links. And, finally, it’s not enough to have good<br />

content and many links. There must be consistent activity… new links<br />

and new content being built on a regular basis.<br />

The best companies know how to deliver these SEO results for<br />

particular industries. In other words, Lands of America clients should<br />

look for companies that have experience in real estate. The costs can vary<br />

from a low of $500 per month to several thousand dollars per month. It<br />

is easy, though, to measure the benefit of SEO. If your SEO costs $1,000<br />

per month but delivers two more sales per month… with a profit of more<br />

than $1,000… then it is a good investment.<br />

But there are other ways to generate traffic and sell more<br />

property online than an SEO investment. Many of our clients invest in<br />

Ad Words. You pay for ads about your company to show up in the ad<br />

sections on Google search pages when people in your area search for<br />

your type of business. You only pay when someone actually clicks on one<br />

of your ads, taking them to your website. This is called Pay Per Click (PPC)<br />

advertising.<br />

What about Facebook and other social media options?<br />

Social media can be a good way to build connections with<br />

potential clients online. The big players in social media right now are<br />

Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. Photo marketing is vital for real estate<br />

businesses, so Pinterest might be the best place to start. The key to social<br />

media is remembering that it’s not all about promotion. It has to be about<br />

two-way communication with your followers, building relationships with<br />

them. Share information of interest to them (not just about you!), and<br />

you’ll do them a service and build your brand at the same time.<br />

SEO and social media are both great tools for building a<br />

business. However, a careful evaluation should be done before making<br />

any sizable investment to make sure these internet marketing services<br />

align well with your business needs.<br />

Rural property purchased in the eastern two-thirds of Texas<br />

will likely include a white-tailed deer population. If these deer are not<br />

managed, they will often multiply until their food supply is depleted and<br />

the habitat is damaged. When their nutrient intake no longer matches<br />

their body requirements, fawning success can be compromised. Due<br />

to an insufficient diet, bucks antler size may diminish.<br />

Deer are wild animals and certain groups feel that nature<br />

should direct how they are managed. These people fight against the<br />

rights to hunt, maintain animal habitat, trap and transport wildlife or<br />

execute other needed management practices. They advocate that all<br />

animals will live in harmony with their environment if people leave<br />

them alone.<br />

Often members of these groups do not understand biological<br />

and ecological sciences and are short-term thinkers. They may not be<br />

aware of the consequences in failing to exercise responsible habitat<br />

stewardship.<br />

The late Dr. Larry Stoddard often began his first lecture in<br />

Range Ecology 101 at Utah State University by saying, “Gentlemen,<br />

we will talk a lot about climax communities in this class. A climax<br />

community is an ecological community where populations of plants<br />

and animals remain stable and exist in balance with each other<br />

and their environment. We will discuss how to move range plant<br />

communities toward climax, but it is a goal that cannot be obtained.<br />

“The Garden of Eden was a climax community, but that all<br />

changed when Eve fed Adam the forbidden fruit. Every since that<br />

event, man has worked diligently to provide himself and his family<br />

with food, clothing, a climate controlled home, an automobile and<br />

other desired goods. Man in his efforts to satisfy his needs and wants,<br />

moved natural communities away from climax. As long as humans<br />

live on this earth in great numbers, climax communities cannot occur.”<br />

What is the answer to this dilemma? Without our technologies<br />

and management skills, the world would be unable to feed our current<br />

populations of animals and people. We must continue to learn,<br />

improve and use the skills, necessary to help our ecological systems<br />

maintain themselves.<br />

Habitat requirements for white-tailed deer and other wildlife<br />

include food, water, cover and space. Land managers need to<br />

understand how to provide and maintain these requirements.<br />

LEOPOLD’S TOOLS<br />

Aldo Leopold (1887- 1948), considered as the father of<br />

wildlife management in America, listed five tools used to destroy<br />

wildlife habitat and stated that these same tools can be used to<br />

restore and maintain it. Leopold’s list included the ax, cow, plow, fire<br />

and gun.<br />

“The ax symbolizes brush control which can be accomplished<br />

with a variety of tools, including both mechanical and chemical,”<br />

says Steve Nelle, Range Conservationist and Wildlife Biologist, who<br />

retired from the United States Department of Agriculture National<br />

Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS). “Base your brush<br />

control tool decisions on your specific goals for the ranch, giving<br />

strong consideration to the amount of brush to be removed, removal<br />

pattern, and method to be used. A few of the options are mechanical<br />

grubbing, roller-chopping, dozing, aerial spraying and individual plant<br />

treatment with herbicides.”<br />

“Good deer habitat contains a diversity of woody plants<br />

(brush or browse), forbs (broad-leaf weeds) and grasses,” Calvin<br />

44<br />

F a l l 2 0 1 3<br />

by Robert Fears<br />

Growing<br />

Big Deer<br />

Richardson wrote in Texas A&M<br />

AgriLife Extension Service bulletin<br />

E-129. “A variety of food plants allow<br />

deer to select high quality forages<br />

throughout the year. The greatest<br />

forage supply for deer occurs before<br />

trees become large enough to outcompete<br />

herbaceous plants for<br />

sunlight, water and minerals. This is<br />

the reason that appropriately conducted brush management tends to<br />

increase deer forage availability.”<br />

“Cover is also a vital component of deer habitat,” Richardson<br />

continues. “Brush provides cover for escape, shade and protection<br />

against weather extremes. Habitat with interspersed brush mottes<br />

(islands) and open feeding areas are far more valuable than habitat<br />

with a single large feeding area adjacent to a large tract of brush. The<br />

interspersion of food and cover provides an edge effect where two or<br />

more vegetation types meet and integrate. The significance of edge<br />

is that this region often provides a greater diversity of food plants<br />

and cover types to meet deer habitat requirements. Mosaic brush<br />

treatment patterns, which follow contours of the land and certain<br />

vegetation or soil types, provide the greatest amount of edge and<br />

appear to be the most beneficial to deer. This type of brush control is<br />

known as brush sculpting.”<br />

Leopold listed the cow as the second habitat management<br />

tool. Properly managed cattle grazing can improve wildlife habitat by<br />

increasing plant diversity. The cow’s diet is primarily grass whereas<br />

a deer prefers forbs, browse, and mast (nuts and fruit). When you<br />

remove cattle from the habitat, a monoculture of grass can develop<br />

and crowd out the forbs that deer depend upon for a major portion of<br />

their diet.<br />

The plow is used to plant food plots when it’s necessary to<br />

help deer survive cold winters and long, hot summers. Food plots<br />

can be used to increase nutritional quality and quantity of available<br />

forage; however, food plots should never be used as a substitution for<br />

poor habitat or to sustain an over-populated deer herd. If food plots<br />

are to be successfully established, they must be incorporated into a<br />

good management plan and be necessary for accomplishing sound<br />

management goals.<br />

Fire, another tool listed by Leopold, is one of the oldest weed<br />

and brush control agents available to man and is an integral part of<br />

grassland ecology. Prior to range and wildlife habitat management<br />

by stockmen and wildlife biologists, nature controlled plant species<br />

diversification with fire lit by lightening. Prior to settlement of the<br />

United States by European immigrants, American Indians set fires<br />

to the range to destroy invading woody plants and to enhance grass<br />

production for buffalo. When people began to build communities<br />

in our country, they developed fire prevention programs to protect


their homes and other assets and quickly organized to<br />

extinguish wild fires when they occurred.<br />

As land managers began to recognize and<br />

understand the negative effects on range resulting<br />

from the absence of fire, research was initiated to learn<br />

how to use controlled fires as a habitat management<br />

tool. The concept of prescribed burning was developed<br />

to help achieve a number of management objectives<br />

which include control of unpalatable forbs, grasses,<br />

and brush seedlings; removal of excessive mulch and<br />

debris; control of certain parasites and pests; improved<br />

nutrient cycling; and stimulation of new growth of forbs<br />

and brush. According to Nelle, fire can improve browse<br />

nutrition by increasing protein, TDN (energy), and<br />

mineral content by two to three percent.<br />

The gun is a required management tool to<br />

control and manage deer populations so they don’t<br />

overwhelm their habitat carrying capacity. Nelle says<br />

that deer can destroy their own habitat if their numbers<br />

are not controlled.<br />

NEWER MANAGEMENT TOOLS<br />

“Additional management tools have emerged<br />

since Leopold’s time,” states Nelle. “A prime example of<br />

a new tool since Leopold’s time is high fences.”<br />

High fence, 7½ feet or higher, is made of net<br />

wire and will restrain deer, exotics, and livestock. As a<br />

management tool, high fence aids the land manager<br />

in the improvement and maintenance of deer habitat<br />

and control of deer numbers. A high fence prevents the<br />

ingress of excess deer from neighboring properties and<br />

egress of good quality deer. Conversely, if improperly<br />

managed, high fences can also lead to habitat damage<br />

if deer or exotic populations are not controlled.<br />

Selective deer breeding in a permitted facility<br />

also became a management tool after Leopold’s time<br />

and began as a novelty with the concept being created<br />

to satisfy a curiosity about the animals. Land managers<br />

wanted to learn more about deer – their behavior,<br />

diet and reproduction. The practice of deer breeding<br />

developed into an opportunity to improve deer genetics<br />

by mating selected does with bucks exhibiting desired<br />

traits. Improved genetics can improve antler size and<br />

animal vigor and produce animals that have a good<br />

chance of surviving in the wild. Deer breeding can only<br />

be conducted with a breeder’s permit issued by Texas<br />

Parks and Wildlife.<br />

“Tools are neither good nor bad,” Nelle says.<br />

“It is the skills by which they are used that determine<br />

whether they improve or destroy habitat.”<br />

Information and advice on using the right tool<br />

at the proper time to successfully manage deer and<br />

their habitat can be obtained from many sources such<br />

as Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, Texas Parks<br />

and Wildlife, private consultants and other successful<br />

deer managers. Another good way to learn about deer<br />

management is by joining the Texas Deer Association.<br />

Their members’ primary goal is to care for deer with<br />

improved habitat, nutrition, herd health and genetics.<br />

Deer Management 101<br />

While white-tailed deer management is not rocket<br />

science, it is similar to chemistry. If you’ll think back to your<br />

high school chemistry class, you spent a lot of time trying to<br />

balance equations. For the desired reaction to occur, every<br />

element had to be in the correct proportion to every other<br />

element.<br />

In deer management, the elements of concern are<br />

nutrition, age and genetics. When a manager understands<br />

the impact of each of these and strikes a balance between<br />

them, the result is robust bucks and a healthy deer herd.<br />

With that said, a deer manager should not start<br />

tinkering with any of these individual elements without first<br />

establishing a management goal for the property and the<br />

herd. This goal will be unique to your operation. Do you<br />

want to manage for a maximum number of animals? Do<br />

you want to focus your efforts on producing high-quality<br />

animals? Do you want to do both? Are you producing<br />

these deer for your personal enjoyment or do you intend<br />

to create a commercial enterprise? Do you want to manage<br />

intensively controlling as many variables as possible or do<br />

you want to let Mother Nature play a big role? Do you want<br />

to concentrate on wildlife or will you be raising livestock as<br />

well? Do you anticipate adding exotics to your operation?<br />

Ask yourself these questions and every one like<br />

them that you can think of, and then answer them honestly.<br />

Why? Because the answer to these questions will identify your<br />

overall management goal which will become the litmus test<br />

for every other management decision you make. When faced<br />

with a decision, effective deer managers ask themselves:<br />

Will this help me reach my ultimate management goal?<br />

To achieve your management goal, it’s important<br />

to understand the role that nutrition, age and genetics play<br />

in the development of individual animals, and therefore the<br />

herd.<br />

NUTRITION:<br />

When we talk about nutrition, we’re talking about<br />

native habitat. While it is possible to supply adequate<br />

nutrition from a feed bag, native habitat and, in areas where<br />

the climate supports them, food plots put the deer on the<br />

highest nutritional plane. Nutrition is the foundation of a<br />

quality deer herd because without adequate nutrition an<br />

animal can’t express its full genetic potential.<br />

Deer are browsers meaning they prefer browse, the<br />

leaves and tender shoots of woody plants, and forbs, which<br />

most people identify as weeds. Different plants have different<br />

growing seasons and different plants contain different<br />

nutrients, so deer benefit from a diverse landscape. Diverse<br />

habitat is Mother Nature’s buffet, allowing the animals to<br />

pick and choose the foods that meet their nutritional needs<br />

at any given time.<br />

High-protein pellets receive a lot of attention. While<br />

pelleted feed can contribute to antler growth, it should be<br />

used as a supplement, if it’s used at all. In our experience,<br />

relying on high protein feed as your primary food source has<br />

several built-in pitfalls. First, it can mask deficiencies in your<br />

habitat. Second, it can also be very expensive. Third, deer,<br />

like people, have food preferences. Deer will eat protein<br />

feed, but if given a choice they will select diverse plant<br />

sources first. To put it in perspective, if you were given the<br />

choice between a buffet of freshly prepared, ever-changing<br />

food and a steady diet of high-fiber cereal, which would you<br />

choose? In the realm of feed, corn is the equivalent of deer<br />

candy. It is an energy source and an effective attractant, but<br />

it is nutritionally deficient.<br />

One of the keys to having productive habitat lies in<br />

the concept of carrying capacity. Each piece of land can only<br />

support a certain number of animals. If the deer population<br />

is greater than the carrying capacity, you run the risk of<br />

having poorly performing animals and long-term habitat<br />

degradation.<br />

Gathering population information through surveys<br />

and then developing an on-going harvest plan based on<br />

the survey data are the primary tools of herd management.<br />

(This is another deer management balancing act and we will<br />

cover this in-depth in a later article.)<br />

AGE:<br />

Many people measure the success of their deer<br />

management program in Boone and Crockett inches, but<br />

don’t realize that maximum antler development generally<br />

occurs when a buck reaches 6 ½ or 7 ½ years old.<br />

In addition to antler development, mature bucks<br />

play an important role in the social order of a deer herd<br />

and may actually influence the timing of rut. Of course, the<br />

older, dominant bucks play a major role in breeding. In the<br />

long-term, the quality of a deer herd improves if the biggest<br />

and best bucks breed the majority of the does. If all the<br />

mature bucks are harvested, then your next generation of<br />

fawns will be sired by young and, possibly, inferior bucks.<br />

48<br />

F a l l 2 0 1 3


A recent research study conducted by a team of<br />

university wildlife biologists in the western states reached<br />

a surprising conclusion. The group analyzed 108 years of<br />

data on the size of horns and antlers among 25 trophy<br />

categories in North America. They discovered that, over the<br />

past century, the size of trophy horns and antlers for most<br />

species had declined slightly.<br />

In searching for the cause, the team ruled out<br />

several possible causes of the decline, including climate<br />

change, habitat alterations and the “sociological effect”<br />

of increased hunter interest in submitting trophies to the<br />

record books. Instead, the analyses pointed them toward the<br />

intensive harvest of males as the most likely explanation for<br />

the declines. Intensive harvest lowers the age of the males<br />

across the species, allowing fewer animals to reach trophy<br />

status prior to harvest.<br />

The bottom line is that a buck will never express his<br />

full genetic potential or pass along his DNA if he’s shot as a<br />

youngster.<br />

GENETICS:<br />

Of the three elements of deer management, genetics<br />

is probably the most discussed and the least important. It is<br />

definitely the most difficult to control.<br />

All bucks are genetically predisposed to<br />

grow a set of antlers with certain antler traits.<br />

Some will grow big ones while others<br />

will grow small ones, some high, and<br />

others wide. But genetic potential can<br />

be masked by poor nutrition and youth;<br />

therefore, some of the biggest management<br />

gains are made by improving habitat and allowing<br />

bucks to mature.<br />

Managing genetics within a free-ranging deer<br />

herd can be the most difficult and confusing part of<br />

a deer management program. Selectively removing<br />

“undesirable” bucks through a culling program<br />

is the most common way of trying to influence<br />

the deer herd’s genetic profile. For a culling<br />

program to be successful, a manager must<br />

have a very clear goal in mind and be able<br />

to implement a very thorough, selective<br />

harvest program that takes into account antler<br />

characteristics and age.<br />

This is not a proposition to be entered into lightly<br />

because it takes an on-going commitment to see results.<br />

Each year, the undesirable bucks must be identified and<br />

harvested. In addition, does must be harvested aggressively<br />

to ensure that the habitat’s carrying capacity is not<br />

exceeded.<br />

Many landowners aspire to practice Quality Deer<br />

Management. The name has taken on a mystique, but it<br />

is simply: “the voluntary use of restraint in the harvesting<br />

of young bucks, combined with an appropriate antlerless<br />

harvest to maintain a healthy deer population in balance<br />

with the habitat.”<br />

As this definition asserts, deer management is not<br />

rocket science, but a practical balancing act.<br />

TWA PUTS WRAPS ON WILDLIFE <strong>2013</strong><br />

by Robert & Janelle Fears<br />

Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) closed<br />

another successful annual convention, Wildlife<br />

<strong>2013</strong>. A record number of over 1500 people attended<br />

the four-day event that began on Thursday, July 11.<br />

Many people used the convention as their vacation<br />

because there were activities for every member of<br />

the family – dad, mama and the kids. The meeting site, JW Marriott San Antonio<br />

Hill Country Resort and Spa also beckoned vacation. Amenities include a 36-hole<br />

PGA tour golf facility, fitness center, 26,000 square foot spa, seven distinct dinning<br />

options and a water park that offers six acres of heated pools, fountains, waterfalls<br />

and rivers.<br />

Even with distractions of the resort offerings, the Wildlife <strong>2013</strong> actionpacked<br />

agenda drew crowds. On Thursday afternoon, a wildlife photography<br />

workshop was conducted at the Knibbe Ranch in Spring Branch. Professional<br />

photographers Sean Fitzgerald of Dallas and Larry Jay of Comfort were the<br />

instructors, and the photograph subjects were birds of prey from Last Chance<br />

Forever in San Antonio.<br />

Friday was devoted to conducting TWA business. The morning was<br />

filled with meetings of the Desert Big Game, White-tailed Deer Management,<br />

Texas Youth Hunting Program Advisory, Conservation Legacy Advisory, Hunting<br />

Heritage Advisory and Legislative committees. The Texas Wildlife Association<br />

Foundation (TWAF) luncheon provided a nice break where convention attendees<br />

heard former NASA astronaut Charlie Duke Jr. of New Braunfels recount his 1972<br />

trip to the moon and discuss, “Frontiers: Exploring Space & Natural Texas.” It<br />

was back to work in the afternoon with a joint membership and directors meeting<br />

during which new officers were elected for <strong>2013</strong>-2014. Greg Simons of San Angelo<br />

is the new president, Marcus Barrett IV of San Antonio is vice president, second<br />

vice president for programs is Dr. Louis Harveson of Alpine (s three-year term) and<br />

J. David Anderson of Houston is treasurer.<br />

The evening began with cocktails in the exhibit area and the TWA<br />

Ladies Reception. There were approximately 65 exhibits representing insurance,<br />

loans, jewelry, habitat management equipment, hunting vehicles, feed, seed, hunts,<br />

hunting equipment and various other needs of a wildlife enthusiast. Several land<br />

and wildlife conservation organizations also exhibited. Following the receptions,<br />

TWA Convention Kickoff Dinner and Texas Big Game Awards Statewide<br />

Celebration were held.<br />

Saturday was education day with seminars beginning after the TWA<br />

family breakfast. Topics of the seminars were effective private land and wildlife<br />

habitat management, proper taxidermy preparation, ten ways to make wild hog<br />

gourmet, and voluntary conservation practices – balancing wildlife conservation<br />

with oil and gas development in the Eagle Ford shale region of South Texas. Each<br />

speaker gave their presentation twice which gave people an opportunity to attend<br />

two of the four seminars. An estate planning workshop was conducted during the<br />

afternoon. All education seminars were informative, interesting and timely.<br />

The TWA general session and awards luncheon was also held on<br />

Saturday. Following the TWA Presidential Address of Greg Simons, United States<br />

Senator Ted Cruz provided the keynote address, discussing issues such as protecting<br />

the Second Amendment and other individual liberties. The TWA Ray Murski<br />

Friend of Wildlife Award was presented to David K. Langford of Comfort, and the<br />

TWA Sam Beasom Conservation Leader Award was presented to Dr. Neal Wilkins<br />

of San Antonio. That evening, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott was a special<br />

guest at the TWA President’s Life Members and the TWAPAC receptions.<br />

Little Lonestars’ activities were conducted concurrently with the adult<br />

activities. Children ages 3 through 12 are eligible to participate in this program<br />

which included activities such as an art and poster contest, a visit and learning<br />

opportunity by several ‘wild” friends, and outside hikes. The goal of Little Lonestars<br />

is to teach young people about the importance of habitat conservation on private<br />

land and to appreciate and<br />

value the tremendous efforts of<br />

landowners who help manage<br />

Texas wildlife. Marriott Range<br />

Riders provided child care and<br />

activities for the three-year-old<br />

and younger group, and archery<br />

and pellet gun ranges were<br />

available for 12 and older people.<br />

Wildlife <strong>2013</strong> officially<br />

closed at noon on Sunday<br />

following a devotional<br />

gathering. The convention was<br />

a perfect mixture of business,<br />

education, networking, visiting<br />

and recreation. It was a great<br />

opportunity to see old friends<br />

and meet new ones. Plan to<br />

attend Wildlife 2014 on July<br />

10-13 and take advantage of the<br />

opportunities it will offer. We’ll<br />

look for you.<br />

TEXAS DEER ASSOCIATION CONTINUES<br />

TO GROW WITH 15TH ANNUAL<br />

CONVENTION<br />

by WM. Chase Clark<br />

The Texas Deer Association (TDA) held its<br />

15th Annual Convention on August 15 -17, <strong>2013</strong><br />

at the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort & Spa in<br />

San Antonio. Nearly 2000 people attended the<br />

TDA event, representing an increase of 20% over last year’s total. The membership<br />

of the statewide association continues to expand with almost 500 new members<br />

joining at this year’s convention alone.<br />

TDA members are deer enthusiasts. Many are private landowners<br />

seeking to gain knowledge and expertise in modern wildlife management techniques<br />

to improve wildlife populations and habitat. Attendees to this year’s convention<br />

were able to enjoy seminars with some of the nation’s foremost authorities in all<br />

aspects of deer management.<br />

Many TDA members utilize the Texas Parks and Wildlife Deer Breeder<br />

Permit to improve the genetics of their native deer herds. The TDA convention<br />

hosted two deer auctions that shattered records nationwide for attendance and<br />

performance. Deer sold by breeders in these sales will be utilized to continue<br />

improve the quality of Texas’ deer herd at ranches all across the state.<br />

The economic impact of this industry is greatest among rural<br />

communities where local vendors depend on the investments of private landowners<br />

to support their trade. The passion that these modern land stewards have for the<br />

deer on their properties leads to great improvements in habitat which benefits<br />

multiple wildlife species. Anyone who questions the passion of these land managers<br />

should attend a TDA convention, where that desire to support and improve Texas<br />

deer is abundantly evident.<br />

TDA continues to work closely with organizations and associations<br />

with common interests. This year’s convention was attended by representatives<br />

from Texas Wildlife Association, Exotic Wildlife Association, Dallas Safari Club,<br />

Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers’ Association, Venados de Mexico and North<br />

American Deer Farmers.<br />

The convention was attended by several honored guests including Texas legislators<br />

and the Attorney General of Texas Greg Abbott. Attendees were excited to<br />

see television star Si Robertson from Duck Dynasty (sponsored by Lodge Creek<br />

Whitetails), and enjoyed a fantastic concert by Nashville recording star Kevin<br />

Fowler.<br />

The TDA is proud to award annual scholarships to qualified candidates.<br />

This year’s total of twenty students who received TDA college scholarships was<br />

a record for the Association. Applications from students, including essays and<br />

transcripts, are reviewed by the TDA Scholarship Committee.<br />

“Setting records is nice; but the fun and camaraderie enjoyed by<br />

convention attendees is what made the TDA staff happy,” said Karl Kinsel,<br />

Executive Director. “Arts, crafts, face painting, games and movies entertained the<br />

kids. Antler scoring, camping survival, archery and wild game calling classes kept<br />

the youth engaged. A well-rounded agenda included a style show with brunch and<br />

cooking events. Live entertainment, hotel swimming pools, the 10th Annual TDA<br />

Bobby Marburger Memorial Golf Tournament, and a lot of good food completed<br />

the three days of activity.”<br />

If you love deer and deer management, you should start making plans<br />

today to attend next year’s Texas Deer Association convention from August 7-9,<br />

2014, which promises to be bigger and better than ever. To learn more about the<br />

Defender of Hunting &<br />

Private Property Rights in Texas<br />

PROTECTING OUR HERITAGE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS…<br />

HUNTER FREEDOM OF CHOICE<br />

The Texas Deer Association supports a hunter’s individual freedom of choice. Every hunter has<br />

personal preferences on how and where they like to hunt. The TDA will work to ensure hunters<br />

always have the liberty to choose.<br />

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND<br />

Today, there are many who believe the state should dictate how you manage your<br />

land and its resources. The Texas Deer Association is a staunch defender of private<br />

property rights, and the TDA will always fi ffi ight so your land remains YOUR land.<br />

YOU HAVE A VOICE<br />

The Texas Deer Association is a member-driven association, dedicated to sharing ideas<br />

have a voice; and your voice is heard, individually and collectively.<br />

ACTIVE & ACCESSIBLE<br />

The Texas Deer Association is a very active organization with events and activities all<br />

across Texas. Our annual convention, regional meetings, banquets and seminars held<br />

in every region of the state, make it easy and fun to get involved.<br />

TRUST THE LANDOWNER<br />

The Texas Deer Association understands that overregulation is not a sound wildlife<br />

management practice and too often leads to unintended consequences.<br />

“Trust the landowner!”

JUDON FAMBROUGH SPEAKS AT TALB<br />

JUNE MEETING<br />

by Robert Fears<br />

Approximately 45 Texas Alliance<br />

Land Brokers’ (TALB) members and guests attended<br />

the June 26 monthly meeting at the Rough Hollow<br />

Ranch near Wimberley. The keynote speaker was<br />

Judon Fambrough, Senior Lecturer and Attorney<br />

at Law with the Texas Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University. Fambrough<br />

discussed the “Addendum for Reservation of Oil, Gas, and Other Minerals” issued<br />

by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC). The addendum is for realtors to<br />

utilize in any sales contract where the seller wants to reserve any mineral interest.<br />

Fambrough said, “The Addendum was promulgated in 2008 and revised<br />

on December 5, 2011. It was drafted by attorneys addressing problems created by<br />

the development of the Barnett Shale in urban areas of Fort Worth. Because of this<br />

fact, the Addendum probably works for a .33-acre residential lot in downtown Fort<br />

Worth, but not for a 333-acre farm or ranch in rural Texas.”<br />

An article appeared in the Winter <strong>2013</strong> issue of the Oil, Gas and Energy<br />

Resources Section of the State Bar of Texas magazine that bolsters Fambrough’s<br />

concerns over the addendum. Two attorneys, Celia Flowers and Melanie Reyes of<br />

Tyler wrote the article with the title, “Avoiding the Unintended Consequences<br />

When Drafting Mineral Reservation.”<br />

The Addendum contains three primary sections. Section A defines the<br />

“Mineral Estate” as all oil, gas, and other minerals in or under the Property, any<br />

royalty under any existing or future lease covering any part of the property, surface<br />

rights (including rights of ingress and egress), production and drilling rights, lease<br />

payments, and all related benefits. Flowers and Reyes wrote that the usage of the<br />

term “Surface Rights” should have been omitted because it is synonymous with the<br />

term “Surface Estate” and creates confusion. Fambrough feels that the definition<br />

should be written as it is in a deed of trust from a foreclosure on the mineral estate<br />

– “… This is not a conveyance or an encumbrance of the surface estate, save<br />

and except for such rights of use and possession in and to such surface estate that<br />

may exist in favor or the grantor as the owner of the mineral estate, pursuant to<br />

applicable Texas Law.”<br />

Section B of the addendum reads, “The Mineral Estate owned by Seller,<br />

if any, will be conveyed unless reserved as follows:<br />

1) Seller reserves all of the Mineral Estate owned by Seller.<br />

2)Seller reserves an undivided ___________% interest in the Mineral<br />

Estate owned by Seller.”<br />

Flowers and Reyes had the following comments: (1) “A reservation of<br />

all the mineral estate includes a reservation of all of the surface estate by ‘The<br />

Definition’, so the buyer gets nothing. (2) The expression of a mineral reservation<br />

is generally in terms<br />

of fractions, not<br />

percentages. Thus, a<br />

fraction may be placed<br />

in the blank and not<br />

a percentage, such<br />

as 1/4th %. (3) The<br />

language prohibits<br />

a reservation of a<br />

royalty interest.”<br />

Fambrough’s<br />

comments on Section<br />

B were: “In addition<br />

to not being able to<br />

reserve a royalty interest, the language does not allow a substance-by-substance<br />

reservation – I want to convey the oil and retain the gas and uranium. What if<br />

the mineral owner also owns the groundwater. Would this be included in the term<br />

‘Other Minerals’?”<br />

Section C of the addendum gives the seller a choice of waiving or not<br />

waiving the seller’s surface rights including rights of ingress and egress. Fambrough<br />

said, “The waiver should have been limited to the implied surface rights to<br />

enter for exploration and production of minerals under applicable Texas law. By<br />

their definition, if you waive surface rights, you literally waive your right to use<br />

the surface for any purpose including a right-of-way access easement. You could<br />

landlock yourself.<br />

Fambrough’s suggestions for dealing with the TREC Addendum in<br />

writing sales contracts are:<br />

1) Drop the definitions from the addendum. Simply rely on applicable<br />

Texas law.<br />

2) Provide an addendum (if any) for the reservation of minerals and/or<br />

royalties – not the mineral estate.<br />

3) Provide another addendum (if any) for the conveyance (not waiver)<br />

of the implied right of ingress and egress for mineral exploration and production.<br />

The addendum should say, “The seller conveys to the buyer all rights of ingress<br />

and egress for oil and gas exploration and production owned by the mineral owner<br />

under applicable Texas law. This right follows the land and is not personal right<br />

vested in the buyer. The grantee’s consent cannot be unreasonably withheld, but it<br />

shall be reasonable to exact payment and to impose …”<br />

EXOTIC WILDLIFE ASSOCATION<br />

by Charly Seale<br />

The Exotic Wildlife Association (EWA) has been<br />

extremely active over the past few months with<br />

the YO Ranch spring animal sale and two animal<br />

sales at Huntsville Livestock in Huntsville, Texas.<br />

Prices were extremely high and have remained at<br />

that level over the summer. Private treaty sells are<br />

strong with a tremendous amount of new buyers<br />

getting into the industry. The oil business in Texas has been good for hunting and<br />

exotic wildlife sales.<br />

TEXAS SHEEP & GOAT RAISERS<br />

ASSOCIATION<br />

by Gil Engdahl<br />

Chris Jamison of Coleman was named President<br />

of the Texas Sheep & Goat Raisers’ Association at<br />

the 98th Annual Convention held in Kerrville<br />

on July 27, <strong>2013</strong>. Bob Buchholz of Eldorado was<br />

elected First Vice President and Lane Porter of<br />

Fort Stockton was named Second Vice President.<br />

These three gentlemen have been active in the Association for many years, and<br />

they represent three distinctly different areas of the state, each with its own set<br />

of challenges. We feel they are well suited for the task ahead and look forward to<br />

working with them.<br />

Reports were heard of various important issues during the convention.<br />

THE INDEPENDENT<br />

CATTLEMEN’S<br />

ASSOCIATION OF<br />

TEXAS<br />

by Bill Hyman<br />

Cattlemen have been<br />

busy ensuring that their<br />

livestock and wildlife<br />

receive adequate water and feed with the unchanging drought conditions. Strong<br />

cattle prices have helped but hay is in short supply with many ranchers looking<br />

out of state for additional purchases. Independent Cattlemen’s Association (ICA)<br />

continues to post hay suppliers information on our website www.icatexas.com. If you<br />

need hay or have hay to sell, please check this service.<br />

TEXAS AND SOUTHWESTERN CATTLE<br />

RAISERS ASSOCIATION<br />

by Carmen Fenton<br />

In June, Texas and Southwestern<br />

Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) members<br />

gathered in San Antonio for the annual TSCRA<br />

Summer Meeting. Main topics of discussion<br />

included the changing infrastructure of the beef<br />

industry because of drought, the implementation of the state’s water plan, and an<br />

update on the Texas endangered species.<br />

On the legislative front, TSCRA has continuously worked at the State<br />

Capitol to protect ranchers and landowners during regular and special sessions.<br />

During the regular session, there were many attempts by pipeline companies to<br />

create an easier process for them to obtain common carrier status, and thus the<br />

power of eminent domain. TSCRA fought hard against proposals that would<br />

have severely limited landowners’ rights regarding pipelines and will continue to<br />

oppose these attempts in the future. We were also involved in property rights, water<br />

L a n d N e w s<br />

committee in the House of Representatives and will be considered with the Interior<br />

appropriations bill in September. Less than 10 percent of those ranchers who own<br />

one or more of the three species have actually applied for and received United<br />

States Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) permits to breed or hunt these animals.<br />

The numbers of these animals continue to decline in Africa.<br />

The EWA’s Trophy Game Records of the World’s annual hunting<br />

awards banquet was held in San Marcos, Texas. A record number of attendees<br />

made this a very successful weekend. The EWA is preparing for its annual Shrimp<br />

Boil in Albert, Texas September 21 and invites the public to some great food and<br />

entertainment. For more details call the EWA office or go on our website at www.<br />

myewa.org.<br />

States Fish & Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) efforts to reintroduce the Mexican Wolf<br />

into new areas of New Mexico, Arizona, Mexico and Texas where there have been<br />

no wolves for generations. Other discussions had to do with the unpassed Farm<br />

Bill; health issues of sheep and goats; marketing of wool, mohair, lamb and goats;<br />

water conservation; weather modification and legislative issues.<br />

Bob Malone, former CEO and President of British Petroleum America,<br />

was keynote speaker for the last noon session. Malone is now a Sonora Banker and<br />

rancher. His very interesting talk was titled, “Can We Save the American Dream?<br />

Paying the Piper Will Be Painful!” He touched on the world and national economy<br />

as well as energy issues and their affect on economic recovery. Energy production,<br />

mainly oil and gas, is at an all-time high and has fueled an economic boom for the<br />

Concho Valley of Texas, South Dakota and several other areas. Malone indicated<br />

that economic recovery will be sluggish at best, as a low growth of gross domestic<br />

product (GDP) will not be sufficient to generate new full-time well-paying jobs.<br />

The 39th Annual Independent Cattlemen’s Association Convention<br />

was held in June in Bastrop. With top notch speakers and a diverse trade show,<br />

the attending members were both educated and entertained. Herd health, strategic<br />

financial planning, border security, and ranch management were all discussed and the<br />

meeting was concluded with Coach R.C. Slocum, rancher and retired Head Coach<br />

for Texas A&M as the guest speaker.<br />

Convention entertainment included a golf tournament, dance, live<br />

auction, cooking demonstration, quilting bee and several social hours. Seven<br />

high school seniors from across the state were honored as the recipients of ICA<br />

scholarships. Overall, the convention was a resounding success and many members<br />

are making plans to attend the event next June in Beaumont. For more information<br />

about ICA please call 512-620-0162 or visit our website www.icatexas.com.<br />

legislation, animal disease traceability, fever ticks, and endangered species issues.<br />

In Washington, D.C., TSCRA met with numerous lawmakers and staff,<br />

and was involved in discussions on the Farm Bill and immigration reform. We<br />

advocated a comprehensive five-year Farm Bill that maintains critical research and<br />

conservation dollars, and doesn’t include a livestock title or government mandate<br />

regarding on-farm production practices. On the immigration front, TSCRA is<br />

continuously working with Congress to stress the need for a common-sense, practical<br />

guest worker program.<br />

We’ve seen many cattlemen and women at ranch gatherings, Beef<br />

Quality Assurance trainings, range and pasture field days, and our <strong>2013</strong> Ranching<br />

101 Series. We hope to see more attendees at TSCRA approximately 25 ranch<br />

gatherings scheduled this fall.<br />

We’re also looking forward to our annual fall meeting Sept. 25-27 in<br />

Grapevine at the Embassy Suites Outdoor World Hotel. The board meeting will be<br />

packed full of speakers and educational opportunities for TSCRA members and nonmembers.<br />

M a r k e t R e p o r t<br />

Land sold in the first half of <strong>2013</strong> set percentage increases reminiscent<br />

of the heady 2004-2005 era when an unprecedented land boom propelled<br />

prices higher and buyers snatched properties from the market as soon as the<br />

ink dried on the signature line on the listing. The <strong>2013</strong> prices weighed in at an 8<br />

percent increase over 2012 price levels. As the price chart reveals, <strong>2013</strong> markets<br />

have more than recovered the setback suffered in the wake of the 2008 financial<br />

meltdown. At $2,480 per acre, the statewide price posted an all-time high in<br />

both nominal and inflation adjusted terms. The inflation corrected real price of<br />

$435 per acre reported in 1966 dollars amounts to the highest price ever seen<br />

in rural Texas land markets. These cold numbers reflect the feverish activity<br />

reported by very busy market participants who report seeing a strong demand<br />

for good quality cropland plus renewed interest in recreational properties.<br />

The rest of the story lies in the volume of activity. Although prices<br />

have moved strongly upward and brokers continue to show properties<br />

with increasing frequency, volume of reported transactions and total acres<br />

exchanged continues to lag behind historical levels. To date, the reported 2,112<br />

reported sales falls short of half of the 5,116 sales recorded in 2012. However, the<br />

reporting process lags behind market activity and the final first half total will<br />

likely exceed the 2012 total. At 65 acres, the median size is the smallest tract<br />

size ever recorded in Texas markets. That means that total acres exchanged<br />

likely lagged far behind the totals exchanged in past years. So far, reported<br />

transactions have focused on smaller properties despite a noted revival of<br />

demand for larger recreational properties. These factors suggest that medium<br />

to larger ranches still attract few buyers willing to take the plunge. The result<br />

has upward price pressure on properties in favored classes, with sellers of<br />

larger properties still waiting for action. Activity in the small end of the market<br />

can translate into demand for larger tracts, as entrepreneurs convert them to<br />

smaller, more marketable properties. Perhaps the second half of <strong>2013</strong> will see<br />

some venturesome developers take the risk and pull the trigger on these larger<br />

properties. Stay tuned for results recorded in the second half of the year. The<br />

final measure of recovery will follow from increasing volume of sales as well as<br />

price increases.<br />

Beautiful 55±- acre property only 20 minutes<br />

the property. The main house is eight years<br />

old and is a three-bedroom, two-and-a half<br />

baths (2,284 square feet) rock home with a<br />

welcoming front porch. The second house is<br />

perfect for a caretaker or as a guest house and<br />

is a one-bedroom, one-bath (800 square feet).<br />

The present owner has cleaned up the river<br />

bottom and it is beautiful with lots of large<br />

pecan and cottonwood trees. The majority of<br />

the property is out of the floodplain and has<br />

been fenced into lush pasture for cattle and<br />

horses. The water well on the property is five<br />

years old and there are very nice storage barns<br />

next to the houses. Great small ranch with lots<br />

of improvements and only minutes from San<br />

Antonio! Call Mitch West at (210) 213-5402<br />

150± Acres | Medina County | Property ID: 1356214<br />

The word “unique” is used often is Texas Hill Country Ranch land, and this ranch could be called the same—but perfection is more appropriate. Every detail of the<br />

main home and the guest home was considered when creating this tranquil ranch. The well-conceived ranch boasts an improved whitetail deer population and<br />

abundant Rio Grande turkey. The ranch is well-watered with two privately owned water wells, as well as a third shared with the neighbor to the north. The entrance<br />

to Stony Ridge Ranch is lined with mature century plants (agave) and olive trees that take you past the high-fenced garden and into the high-fenced portion of the<br />

Brown Ranch Road<br />

ranch (approximately 146 acres). The homes<br />

are perched atop a 1,253-foot hill that<br />

provides views for miles, both to the north<br />

and to south. There are constant views in<br />

all directions for most of the ranch, but the<br />

Medina County creek bottom has its own historic beauty.<br />

As one of the highest points in the area and<br />

situated between two creeks, Stony Ridge<br />

Ranch once provided for the Coahuiltecan<br />

or Tonkawa Indians. There are “shelter”<br />

caves along the creek and Indian arrow<br />

heads can still be found in the area. There<br />

is also a clandestine cave located centrally<br />

on the ranch! For more information, call<br />

Cody Stewart at (210) 317-7288. Price:<br />

$1,425,000<br />

for wildlife, in addition to the excellent brush. Improvements include a 4,200-square-foot, Spanish-style hacienda with six bedrooms, five baths, concrete slab,<br />

stucco exterior, Saltillo tile floors, mostly nine-foot ceilings, deep porches and a large walled courtyard with a traditional outdoor fountain. Other buildings include a<br />

1,700-square-foot foreman’s house with three bedrooms and two baths, a 2,665-square-foot barn, a 1,640-square-foot shed and a 600-square-foot workshop.<br />

The Caiman Ranch also features plentiful water and excellent level to gently rolling topography. Ranging in elevation from 393 feet at the main entrance to about<br />

322-feet in the Los Olmos Creekbed, the ranch features soils with clay or loam surface layers, which are the key to the excellent, diverse vegetation. A 4,280-footdeep<br />

well out of the Carrizo Aquifer supplies water to the headquarters, one of two stock tanks on the ranch and various water troughs. Wet-weather Olmos Creek<br />

flows through the western section of the ranch, and holds pockets of water for extended periods of time. This is the perfect opportunity for an outdoorsman who<br />

desires to own one of the best whitetail deer herds in the state.<br />

5,600± Acres | Webb County<br />

Property ID: 1456120<br />

Dipper Ranch is a 5,600-acre, high fence whitetail deer<br />

hunting ranch and breeding operation abundant with<br />

native South Texas game, including trophy whitetail, dove,<br />

quail, javelin, wild hogs, buffalo, trophy bass and a variety<br />

of small game. The ranch is 23 miles from Encinal and<br />

24 miles from Freer. The front entrances touch Highway<br />

44. The owners have invested considerable resources<br />

and time into the Dipper Ranch with the goal of building<br />

a world-class whitetail hunting experience. While the<br />

ranch is blessed with excellent native brush, the owners<br />

launched an intensive supplemental feeding and range<br />

improvement program. Over the years, they have installed<br />

32 protein feeder stations that provide in excess of 120<br />

tones of protein annually. The wild deer population is<br />

approximately one deer per every 14 acres. Even though Dipper Ranch possesses incredible native whitetail genetics, an intensive pasture management program<br />

has been designed and implemented. To support their program, the owners constructed a deer breeding facility in 2007 to further enhance the development and<br />

quality of their whitetail population. The trophy breeding herd consists of ten 200+ Boone<br />

& Crockett-class whitetail bucks and 150 does of superior genetic quality. The Dipper Ranch<br />

has abundant water with 13 lakes and ponds, stocked with fish, as well as 1 water well.<br />

There are 20,000+ square feet of new facilities, which include a main house, guest quarters,<br />

ranch foreman’s house and a ranch facilities manager’s house. In addition, a 10,000-squarefoot<br />

operations hub includes a mechanics shop, welding and fabrications facility plus a wood<br />

working shop. Last, there is a 11,250-square-foot equipment storage facility that includes<br />

a ranch office with a game processing and storage room. Owner will convey of all owner’s<br />

minerals which is approximately a 1/8 plus 50% royalty on 640 acres.<br />

is unsurpassed in quality BIG DEER management! The DNA on this ranch is exceptional! Producing past<br />

contest winners scoring in the 180-190’s B&C and incredible mass up to 44 inches. Strict culling and a deep passion for allowing bucks to reach their full potential (passing<br />

on their trophy genes) has been the steadfast goal on this family owned ranch. Two sets of breeding pens enhance that goal. In 2010, 30 doe were bred by a (“native - born<br />

on this ranch”) typical 12 pt. 186 B&C buck. Outstanding improvements consist of three structures totaling 10 bedrooms, eight baths, three kitchens, and entertainment<br />

areas. There is also a covered barbecue pavilion, covered bench shooting range, very large attached metal building with very nice living quarters, vehicle storage, game<br />

processing, and walk-in cooler. A very important factor (as we all know due to the series of droughts South Texas has experienced) is that this ranch has excellent water<br />

availability. There are four wells and five earthen tanks, and Pena Creek with potholes transverses the ranch. Simply stated: This is one of the finest, proven trophy ranches<br />

in South Texas and one of the few with minerals.<br />

645± Acres<br />

Fannin County<br />

Property ID: 244520<br />

Beautiful land perfect for<br />

hunting, recreational, equine or<br />

cattle operation, or investment.<br />

Hunt deer, turkey, hogs, dove,<br />

duck, geese, etc. With <strong>Fall</strong><br />

grain production this land<br />

could be covered with doves.<br />

Then with cultivation of winter<br />

wheat the goose hunting would<br />

be beyond anything expected<br />

in this area. Only 30 minutes<br />

from the Dallas suburbs and<br />

MO Ranch<br />

Fannin County<br />

one hour or less to a major airport. Get totally secluded on your land yet be only 30 minutes from<br />

either of three different Walmarts. In the growth pattern of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and in<br />

the adjoining county from one of the fastest growing counties in the US for the last 10 years, it is<br />

a terrific land hold. If you remember the old addage that if it seems too good to be true, it probably<br />

isn’t. This definitely is the exception! Price: $1,400,000<br />

285± Acres | Fannin County | Property ID: 1166611<br />

285± acres with abundant frontage along Red River with great waterfront views. The rich sandy land<br />

lends itself perfectly to the equestrian or show cattle operation as well as a family get-a-way. This could<br />

be a combination of any of the above meshed with recreational opportunities to hunt deer, turkey,<br />

ducks, geese and hogs. The property is only about an hour from the North Dallas suburbs and about<br />

one and a half hours from two major airports. The land is fenced and cross-fenced into eight pastures<br />

with a driving lane between pastures. (four on each side) Nice sized pond. Water is available to each<br />

pasture for livestock purposes. At times in the past the land has been cultivated with various crops.<br />

Price: $912,000
