A LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER 

inter brings our annual lifestyle issue. In the context of a ranch, 

lifestyle is generally characterized by lived-in boots, jeans faded 

to comfortable perfection, days spent on a horse or in a hunting 

blind and nights spent around a fire with the people you enjoy most. In the words of Martha Stewart, a woman who I probably 

don’t have much in common with, these are all “good things.” 

But the events of 2017 have caused me to reflect a lot. My wife Lisa and I have three kids, ranging in age from 14 to seven. 

And when I look at the world they are inheriting, I’m forced to challenge the notion that good things are enough. I’ve had to 

look in the mirror and ask: “Do I want to give them a lifestyle or teach them a style for living their lives?” 

I’m doing my damnedest to gift them with the latter. The concept, known as the Golden Rule, is simple to grasp: “Do unto others 

as you would have them do unto you.” It’s harder to act on consistently. For those of us raised in the Judeo-Christian tradition, 

it’s Matthew 7:12. Matthew, well actually Jesus, said it another way when he was asked to order the commandments. The most 

important was to love God more than anything else. The second was to “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 

While some may accuse me of being preachy, I’m actually just being practical. Regardless of what you believe—or don’t— 

it’s hard to argue that this notion of respect and compassion for others is a bad idea. It’s the foundation for a civil, functional 

society. It’s the foundation of a style for living that guarantees collectively we will leave the world better than we found it. 

Robert Frost suggested, “Good fences make good neighbors.” Personally, I 

think that good neighbors reach across fences—both real and perceived. In 

2018, I hope that you’ll join me in reaching beyond good for my best self.

CRAFTING A LEGACY 

WRITTEN BY LORIE A. WOODWARD 

PHOTOS COURTESY OF CLINT ORMS ENGRAVERS & SILVERSMITHS 

18

PROFILE 

hile silversmith Clint Orms’ 

W 

belt buckles, money clips 

and bracelets reflect Texas’ 

proud cowboy heritage, his 

most profound professional 

influence came from a Native 

American he met while living in Brisbane, Australia. 

“The first time I met Michael Redshirt, he 

was playing Santa Claus in the mall where I was 

working as an engraver,” Orms said. 

In addition to being a “jolly old elf,” the 

American ex-pat was an artist. Over time, the 

two became close friends. Orms asked Redshirt 

to teach him some Native American traditions. 

Redshirt imparted the wisdom his grandfather had 

shared with him. 

“He said, ‘Put your whole self into your work 

and it will have a life of its own. People will forever 

feel your life and energy,’” Orms said. “As a young 

artist that resonated with me, and today it forms 

the basis of everything we thing do at Clint Orms 

Engravers & Silversmiths.” 

While Clint and his team of nine artisans focus 

on the needs of their present-day customers, 

they are crafting legacy pieces with future 

recipients in mind. 

“It’s my hope that our pieces become family 

touchstones—serving as a visible reminder of the 

people who came before and their stories—as 

buckles are passed from generation to generation,” 

Orms, who along with his wife Roxie founded his 

company now-based in Ingram in 1991, said. “If 

we’ve done our job well, each succeeding owner 

will also feel the passion that we put into each 

piece—the passion that brings the silver to life.” 

Although the company has grown through the 

years, Orms still sits at the work bench alongside 

his team. These days, he focuses his attention 

on designing and overseeing the manufacturing 

process. His fellow artisans replicate the pieces. 

All of the work is done by hand and designs are 

produced in limited quantities before being retired. 

“I wear a lot of hats in the business,” Orms, who 

shares the day-to-day responsibilities of running 

the company with Roxie, said. “There’s an art to 

growing a small business.” 

In an era where goods are stamped, stacked 

and shipped as cheaply and quickly as possible, 

the hand-crafted originality and quality of an 

Orms-made piece stands out. 

“We use materials that will meet the test of 

time,” Orms said. “When you see silver and gold 

pieces in museums that are thousands of years 

old, it’s a reminder of the permanence of this 

work, and it reinforces the importance of classic 

style and design.” 

The team uses genuine gemstones and 

precious metals in heavier weights than necessary 

to ensure quality and durability. 

“When we design a piece, whether it’s a oneof-a-kind 

for a client or one of our limited edition 

designs, we develop a look that is current but 

draws on classic, historic motifs, and we make it 

durable so even future generations will be able to 

wear it proudly even as it develops the patina of 

time,” Orms said. 

“PUT YOUR WHOLE SELF 

INTO YOUR WORK AND 

IT WILL HAVE A LIFE OF 

ITS OWN. PEOPLE WILL 

FOREVER FEEL YOUR 

LIFE AND ENERGY”

PROFILE 

WHY TWA? 

Orms first made a connection with TWA 

at the annual convention’s trade show. The 

relationship has progressed past merely 

business, and Orms, who is long-time 

auction donor and exhibitor, now serves 

on the Board of Directors. Clint Orms 

Engravers & Silversmiths is one of only 

eight corporate supporting sponsors. 

“TWA’s legacy extends to all of Texas. 

The organization exists to educate and 

conserve. In my opinion, the thing that 

TWA does best is share practical knowledge 

about conservation and land management. 

As a group, the staff, the leaders and the 

members are constantly learning and then 

teaching about conservation. They take 

steps to care for wildlife and teach other 

people how to do it, too.” —Clint Orms 

20

PROFILE 

AN INSPIRED CAREER 

As an artist, Orms finds inspiration in many places. 

“Coming up with new designs is never a challenge because 

inspiration is all around me,” he said. “It’s harder to know when 

to stop working on a piece. There’s a tipping point in every piece 

where additions take away from the work instead of improve it. 

The secret is recognizing when to stop.” 

Leather tooling put his feet upon the creative path that 

eventually led Orms to become an engraver and silversmith. 

“Hand tooling is an intricate process,” Orms, who began 

making belts when he was 13, said. “It introduced me to some of 

the basic ideas that I use today.” 

He moved from leather to metals because he sought 

permanence in his personal work, but he still appreciates 

fine leatherwork. 

creating different patinas can add even more artistic depth and 

interest. There’s always something new to learn or a boundary 

to push.” 

His childhood in Wichita Falls where he was reared in close 

proximity to old-time cowboys also inspires him. 

“The scope of our work extends beyond traditional western 

wear, but the western buckle is a tradition of Texas cowboys that I 

wanted to share with the world,” Orms said. “Beyond the obvious, 

I hope these buckles reflect the cowboys’ sense of pride in taking 

care of their gear, their livestock and the jobs at hand.” 

Orms is also an outdoorsman. Hunting, fishing, wildlife and 

nature move him. The mosaics, weaves, rosettes and scrolls that 

anchor or enhance many designs come from plants. The recurring 

patterns in nature as described by Fibonacci’s sequence are 

omnipresent as are native and African wildlife. 

“It’s no secret that Texans have shaped the 

land and the land has shaped Texans,” he said. 

While Orms’ work is a reflection of many 

things, he is ultimately inspired by his clients. 

“We’ve got nine master hand toolers who allow us to 

represent their work in conjunction with our buckles,” 

Orms said. “It’s gratifying to showcase their work because 

I know what it takes to achieve it.” 

As he began to explore sterling silver and the art of engraving, 

antique trophy cups from East Coast companies such as Tiffany 

and Gorham caught his attention as did finely made guns 

accented with intricate patterns and carvings. 

“Because people use what silversmiths and engravers make, 

it’s sometimes classified as a craft,” Orms said. “In my mind, it’s 

a practical art. We create pieces that enhance the experience of 

everyday life.” 

The silver’s malleability lends itself to creative expression. 

“Silver can be shaped to create different depths,” Orms said. 

“Then, the palette of techniques including engraving, carving and

GENERATIONS OF SATISFIED 

CUSTOMERS WHO ARE LIVING

“My clients come in knowing what they want,” Orms said. “For 

many people, they’ve wanted a legacy piece for decades but 

either weren’t able to find the person to express their vision or they 

never committed to making the investment of time or resources 

to bring the vision to life. Being entrusted with someone’s vision, 

inspires me to do my best.” 

His best is the stuff of legacies. 

“I define a legacy as passing along something of value,” Orms said. 

“I want my pieces to become a family legacy. For me, personally, I 

want to my legacy to be generations of satisfied customers who are 

living with pieces exactly as they envisioned them—or pieces that 

may be even better than they dared imagine.” °

TEXAS LAND MARKETS 

THIRD QUARTER 2017 

WRITTEN BY CHARLES E. GILLILAND, PH.D. 

RESEARCH ECONOMIST | REAL ESTATE CENTER | TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY 

Based on results through the first three 

quarters of 2017, prices in Texas land 

markets have moved up slightly from 2016 

levels. The 2017 percentage increase at 2.1 

percent amounted to less than half of the 

2016 results. The third quarter increase 

retreated from 2.13 percent increase in 

the second quarter. These results suggest 

top the meager one percent gain in 2015 

but trail well behind the 2012–2014 robust 

price growth. The muted expansion 

confirmed much slower Texas rural land 

prices appreciation compared to 2013– 

2015 levels. The 5,339 sales (year-toyear 

annual totals) marked a significant 

expansion of activity compared to past 

third quarter results. The price of $2,584 

per acre exceeded $2,530 per acre in 

2016, but fell short of the second quarter 

2017 price of $2,586 per acre. Overall, 

Texas land markets continued to grow but 

prices appear to have changed little since 

the first quarter. 

SOURCE: REAL ESTATE CENTER, TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY 

Regionally, northeast Texas markets 

continued to post higher prices. Hill Country 

markets retreated. Past history suggests a 

slowdown in activity in the coastal bend 

following devastation following hurricane 

Harvey. Although, economic activity was 

robust in the third quarter of 2017, markets 

seem to reflect a cautious attitude among 

market participants. °

ASSOCIATIONS 

TEXAS WILDLIFE ASSOCIATION 

BY DAVID YEATES, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 

While the Texas Wildlife Association expends a great deal of 

time and effort educating youngsters and getting them out in 

nature, our most immediate responsibility is often public policy. 

Nothing has a greater impact on landowners and natural resource 

conservation than public policy, good and bad alike. 

Earlier this year, TWA’s Executive Committee approved a 

statement regarding border security which can be found on our 

website, www.Texas-Wildlife.org. The statement begins: “Texas 

Wildlife Association (TWA) strives to protect private property 

rights in balance with natural resource conservation efforts here 

in Texas. As such, TWA is deeply interested in the concept of a wall 

or physical barrier designed to secure the Texas/Mexico border.” 

Immigration and border security have been front and center for 

Texans and Americans for many years, but the last presidential 

election and Texas legislative session have sharpened the 

focus as discussions on “Sanctuary” cities, Deferred Action 

for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and constructing a border wall 

have brought a tremendous amount of attention to the issues. 

Unfortunately, there has been too little focus on some of those 

most immediately affected—landowners along the Texas/Mexico 

border and the wildlife populations that call those farms and 

ranches home. 

As we all know, Texas is primarily a private property state, which 

is an artifact from our days as a Republic. The Texas/Mexico 

border spans approximately 4,900 tracts of private property. 

In 2006, the federal government began building sections of 

wall along the Texas/Mexico border, using the power of eminent 

domain to condemn the property of 300 private landowners 

along the way. More than 10 years later, 85 of those cases are 

still in litigation. TWA is deeply concerned for the property rights 

of the remaining thousands of landowners in the rural expanses 

of our borderlands. Impaired access to water, stranded land, and 

devaluation from obstructed viewsheds are all very real potential 

impacts to landowners. 

When TWA issued its statement, we were contacted shortly 

thereafter by national and international media outlets looking 

to make ratings hay out of a Texas landowner group opposing 

“Trump’s Wall.” They hoped to paint TWA as a conservative 

group that opposed the wall and therefore border security. 

While TWA’s members includes many conservative voters, the 

organization is a nonpartisan group. Fortunately, property rights 

and natural resource conservation is so foundational for Texans 

that people of all political stripes coalesce to work to do what is 

best for landowners and our resources. 

Much to the disappointment of reporters from The London 

Time and the New York Times, we are in full-throated support 

of meaningful border security. The subtle, but important nuance 

made our statement a non-story for them, but such is life. 

The complete statement, which speaks for itself, is included 

below. Please feel free to contact me directly with any question 

or comment. 

STATEMENT REGARDING BORDER SECURITY 

Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) strives to protect 

private property rights in balance with natural resource 

conservation efforts here in Texas. As such, TWA is deeply 

interested in the concept of a wall or physical barrier 

designed to secure the Texas/Mexico border. 

TWA sees the urgent need for control of illegal immigration 

and smuggling traffic in Texas. This traffic directly affects 

the security of our nation and the security and well-being of 

landowners, ranchers, and wildlife stewards in the border 

region. Furthermore, this traffic is massively disruptive to 

ranching, wildlife, and land management practices. 

However, TWA is concerned that a physical barrier along 

the rural Texas/Mexico border would result in substantial 

condemnation of private property by eminent domain, 

interrupt landowner/livestock/wildlife access to water from 

the Rio Grande River, harm property values, and impair 

critical wildlife movement corridors for species such as 

black bears, mountain lions, white-tailed and mule deer, 

and desert bighorn sheep, among others. 

TWA sees merit in physical barriers at strategic 

locations, such as metropolitan areas. TWA strongly urges 

the Department of Homeland Security to develop and use 

methods other than physical barriers along the remainder 

of the border. TWA believes that increased patrols, more 

strident enforcement of existing laws, and technological 

monitoring of the border will achieve the worthy goal 

of controlling illegal border crossings while minimizing 

impacts to private property rights and our precious 

natural resources. TWA is eager to serve federal and state 

agencies as a resource on addressing this critical issue.

TEXAS LAND BROKERS NETWORK 

BY TYLER JACOBS, PRESIDENT 

Your Texas Land Brokers Network members are excited 

to see the new seasons come and continue to be 

optimistic about what the markets hold as we move into 

2018. Dan Hatfield recently gave a luncheon market 

overview presentation outlining the macro economic 

factors that have found us seemingly adrift without much 

of a tail wind. As we discussed what micro economic 

factors may or may not influence this in the near term 

market, the conclusion overall, was that while there are 

hopes of major tax reforms and other legislative factors 

possible, it might be the unforeseen influences that 

ultimately swing this market. The key takeaway for all of 

us is to stick close to your TLBN broker, and hang on for 

a likely successful winter market.

Located just north of Lake Lewisville, El Milagro stands out among the crowd. Just 35 minutes from the Park Cities 

and Preston Hollow neighborhoods in North Dallas, this property is an example of only the finest facilities and 

equipment to take care of the most sophisticated equestrian individuals. The pristine barn is centrally located 

between the custom-built, two-story 8,000-square-foot residence, beautiful pastures and turnouts, and two 

arenas. The residence is a true masterpiece of indoor and outdoor living with plenty of room for entertaining and 

several fireplaces to curl up near on a cool fall evening. The main barn is complete with concrete alleyways, ten 

stalls and a manager’s office. Though the property was originally constructed to focus on English riding styles 

such as hunter jumper and dressage, the property lends itself to a wide variety of equestrian disciplines.

The state-of-the-art equestrian compound is

LIFESTYLE ISSUE 

Memories of driving an old Willis Jeep around the deer lease, listening to ducks 

come in to my spread just before the sun comes up, and waterskiing on the lake 

until my arms could no longer hang onto the handle, stick out in time. I am very 

fortunate to have a great many memories of time spent outside. 

I can recall with vivid detail pulling our 1984 Mastercraft Prostar into the Duck Cove Marina and 

Bait Shop after a long morning waterskiing on Lake Tawakoni with my dad. It was always special 

to me that he would let me dock the boat while he handled the dock ropes; I am blessed to have 

had him as my instructor on all things boating. As we got out of the boat and walked into the dimly 

lit four table floating café, the aromatic smell of the various things sizzling on the hot griddle 

overwhelmed in the small, humble restaurant. Dad and I would sit down in a corner booth, order 

up some Dr. Peppers and cheeseburgers and patiently await what was to come. Looking back, I 

really can’t tell you whether the burger was actually good or not. It’s the memory of the experience 

that matters to me. This established in my head the basis and appreciation for what has now 

become one of my all time favorite things to eat. . .the hamburger. 

I keep my burger simple: meat, cheese, bun, 

lettuce, tomatoes, and I often add bacon. I rarely 

put mayonnaise, catsup, mustard, or any other 

dressings as I think it takes away from what the 

burger is truly supposed to be. Friends have 

jokingly accused me of being a “true connoisseur” 

of the hamburger. Maybe I am. It comes down to 

delighting in the best version of an incredibly basic 

package. I am delighting in the journey as I try to 

find the best burger in Texas. 

My quest has led me to some truly incredible burgers, 

and I’d like to share some of my favorite burger joints 

so far. Hopefully y’all can enjoy some of these iconic 

Texas highway stops while traveling to your ranches, 

lake houses, friend’s ranches, or weekend trips between 

the big cities. No doubt there are hundreds, if not 

thousands, of great places out there, many of which 

I hope to visit, but this list represents my personal 

favorites thus far. While I do have a favorite, I’ve made 

the list alphabetical to hide my bias.

BURGER FIXINS 

Celina, Texas 

Don’t let the slightly run-down structure fool you. . .These burgers are classic and never disappoint. 

Outside seating only. 

COUNTER CAFE 

Austin, Texas 

This is the only “big city” burger joint to make this list. If you have not been there, you need to try 

it. Words won’t do it justice. 

DOUBLE R BURGERS 

Waco, Texas 

I have been eating at this place for over 15 years. Simple, traditional, griddle cooked hamburger. 

Don’t let the first impression of the outside fool you! 

JUCYS HAMBURGERS 

Tyler, Texas 

They actually have a handful of locations in East Texas. My first visit I believe they only had two, 

maybe three stores. Could they technically be a chain, possibly, but they don’t feel like one. 

LONE CAMP GENERAL STORE 

Lone Camp, Texas 

Recently re-opened by the Winbourn family, this is a true gem on the Scenic HWY 4 in Palo Pinto 

County. Great burgers and fresh cut fries. You can pick up a wide variety of supplies as well. 

MORGAN STREET BURGERS 

Meridian, Texas 

Great spot in the heart of Bosque County. Hearty classic hamburger on a great homemade bun, 

hand cut fries, great milkshakes. Great place to meet friends. 

Now get out there and make some memories. And grab a burger on the way… 

and on the way back! °

The Lucky A Ranch, located six miles east of Navasota, is 388± acres of 

thoughtfully customized perfection about 72 miles from Houston. 

THE LAND 

Four-bar pipe fences are prominent. The pastures are improved, with mixed Bahiagrass, coastal Bermuda and 

mature trees. About 30 percent of the ranch is wooded providing native wildlife habitat. 

Every pasture has either a lake, stock tank or water trough to provide for livestock and wildlife. 

The ranch has two spring-fed lakes each five acres or larger, stocked with Florida bass, crappie and blue gills. 

There are also three spring-fed stock tanks, several springs and three wells. 

The turnkey ranch has been a purebred 200-head, cow-calf operation, but could be a horse farm or a country 

getaway with income generating potential. A fenced lane transects the property, so livestock can be moved 

easily to the lighted and covered central working facility. Most ranch equipment will transfer with the sale.

WRITTEN BY GREG SIMONS 

← Helicopters have become 

the population survey tool of 

choice for many white-tailed 

deer managers over various 

regions of Texas. 

As 

we moved into the late 1970s and early 1980s, in many 

areas of Texas, we began to see more emphasis being 

placed on utilizing helicopters as a tool for surveying 

wildlife populations, especially with big-game species, such as 

whitetails, mule deer, pronghorn and desert bighorns. Traditional 

methods, prior to then, included Hahn cruise lines, spotlight 

surveys, incidental observations and even fixed wing methods on 

some species, such as pronghorns. Contrary to common belief, 

in some circles, the results that are obtained from aerial surveys 

is by no means beyond reproach, and the inconsistencies and 

inaccuracies associated with this wildlife management tool can 

leave one scratching their head. So, there are many considerations 

to bear in mind when pondering the merits of helicopter surveys. 

NOT A CENSUS 

The term “deer census” is largely a misnomer, in that “census” 

tends to infer an enumeration or accounting of all individuals 

of a population, when in fact, most exercises that involve an 

attempt to assess the populations of wild animals are simply a 

sampling of the existing population of individuals of interest that 

occupy that area at the time that this exercise takes place. Thus, 

rather than refer to this tool as a “census,” we often use the word 

“survey,” instead. 

To avoid frustration and to minimize confusion with landowners 

and hunters that I work with, I always provide a preamble in 

my report, and often in my oral discussions, that is intended to 

clearly illustrate that we are not going to see all of the deer on the 

property, and to complicate things further, we do not know what 

percentage we are seeing, but we do know that the percentage

strengths of 

helicopter 

surveys. 

of the standing crop that is observed can be variable from day 

to day, or from survey to survey. Based on camera surveys that 

my partner and I have been conducting on several properties that 

we also fly, including some high-fenced country, it is our estimate 

that we are often seeing 35–45 percent of the deer herd from the 

helicopter; again, this can be a variable stat. 

IT’S NOT SIMPLY ABOUT DENSITY 

Recognizing that there can be gross inaccuracies associated 

with estimating total numbers of animals on a given area 

(density), we are well-served to not simply focus on that 

component of the survey, but to place equal or greater 

emphasis on evaluating other aspects of the survey data. Data 

features, such as sex ratios, fawn production, age structure, 

relative antler performance and population distribution, are 

all population characteristics that are often more reliable and 

accurate than density estimates, and these collective data 

represent valuable nuggets of information that allow us to wrap 

our heads around the performance and general health of the 

populations of wildlife under consideration. 

66


TIME WILL TALE 

One of the common themes that is taught in wildlife courses that 

address populations dynamics, relative to populations surveys, is 

the understanding that there is more value in looking at population 

survey data through trend characteristics over time, as opposed 

to simply getting to caught up at analyzing survey data from a 

single year. Regarding trend data, one of the key components of 

establishing reliable information, is consistency. It is important 

to try to replicate similar practices from year to year, over several 

years, to build a method that yields reliable comparisons. Some 

of these variables include survey timing, number of observers, 

transect lines versus flying contour lines, how the information 

is categorized and recorded and which pilots are used. From 

my perspective, the biggest variable that can compromise the 

on deductive reasoning, intuition, common sense logic, and even 

guesswork. Some professionals are mentally geared to deal with 

these soft, esoteric qualities of wildlife management than others, 

and it’s hard to replace experience when it comes to being able to 

work well under these conditions. With this said, one could argue 

that a psychologist or a painter would make a better field wildlife 

manager than would a chemist or an accountant. 

A PICTURE’S WORTH A 1,000 WORDS 

In addition to the population numbers that we obtain from these 

helicopter surveys, another product that has become increasingly 

popular with many of the landowners that we work with in recent 

years are photos that we sometimes capture and build into the 

report. Digital photography has given us financial thriftiness 

of collecting a large volume of photos during these helicopter 

exercises, and modern editing tools make it easy to crop and 

enhance image quality, and to ultimate make our reports more 

interesting. In addition to simply adding eye-candy to the written 

report, these photos can also serve as image documentation 

that may serve as a valuable reference tool later. Consequently, 

many wildlife managers, including myself, have begun investing 

in upgraded camera equipment to improve image quality of aerial 

photos. 

Wildlife management, in some ways, boils down to perspective. 

Recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of all tools in your 

wildlife management toolbox, is a wise and important step in 

becoming a capable wildlife manager. ° 

← Though fixed wing aircraft continues 

to occasionally be used for surveying 

pronghorns, helicopters arguably provide a 

better means to obtain a close look at these 

open-country animals.

especially be beneficial 

in surveying wildlife 

populations in rugged and 

remote terrain. 

integrity of the trend characteristics, is who is being used as 

the primary observer and recorder of information. One person’s 

capability to effectively “observe” these wild animals when 

things are happening so fast, can vary immensely. Further, there 

can be huge variability from one person to the next, in how they 

age and categorize animals in a matter of seconds, when there 

are sometimes fleeting glimpses of some animals; the disparity 

between these performances can most assuredly throw the 

reliability of certain trend characteristics into question. 

ART OR SCIENCE? 

In many cases, wildlife management is more of an art than a science, 

and it is my opinion that many aspects of helicopter surveys tend to 

fit that observation. Science deals more “real numbers” and what 

some people may refer to as empirical data, but when we begin 

using data from helicopter surveys to analyze wildlife populations 

and using that data to make management decisions, we often rely

Knowledge is Power 


PHOTOS BY CLINT FAAS 

For landowners, knowledge is the power to make the 

informed decisions about habitat management and natural 

resource policy. 

“TWA’s Adult Education Programs are designed to increase 

natural resource literacy whether people are multi-generational 

landowners or beginning wildlife enthusiasts,” said Clint Faas, 

TWA’s Director of Conservation Programs. “Our ultimate goal is 

to empower well-informed landowners to take the information 

they’ve gained and apply it to the land, making a difference in 

both their lives and the landscape.” 

He continued, “We also focus attention on emerging public 

policy issues. Through these programs, we strive to equip 

landowners to be informed advocates for natural resource 

conservation, wildlife and property rights in the legislative 

process and in the voting booth.” 

As surely as the natural resources, wildlife and even their 

fellow Texans benefit from the educational programs, so do the 

landowners themselves. Regardless of subject matter,

the programs feature the top experts in the state, not only 

giving landowners the chance to learn from them, but to get to 

know them. 

“These are prime opportunities for landowners to build 

their own networks of conservation professionals,” Faas said. 

“And, of course, it’s a natural place to meet other like-minded 

landowners who have their own experiences to share.” 

While some of the offerings are only lecture, most contain a 

field component so participants can see how the knowledge is 

applied to the land. 

“Benjamin Franklin said, ‘Tell me and I forget, teach me and I 

may remember, involve me and I learn,’” Faas said. “That nails 

our approach to adult education.” 

This approach not only provides experiential learning, but 

in many cases gives participants access to ranches that they 

might not get to see otherwise. 

“We get participants out on the land across Texas, which 

allows them to see on-the-ground management and 

conservation in a variety of eco-regions as applied by a host 

of different land stewards,” Faas said. “Texas is too big and 

too diverse to limit our offerings to one area of the state.”

the following Tuesday. Generally, the four sessions are held 

between April and October. Participants are expected to attend 

all four sessions. 

WOMEN OF THE LAND 

Women of the Land is a ladies-only event centered on the 

philosophical and ecological aspects of wildlife and land 

management. Two standalone courses, one held in the spring 

and the other in the fall, move to different locations around 

the state. In addition to providing a strong foundation for 

additional conservation education, the 2.5 day events provide 

an unsurpassed opportunity for women to network with others 

who share their interests. Women of the Land ADVANCED, held 

every other year, builds on the initial knowledge by immersing 

women in hands-on management and outdoor activities. 

In the Classroom 

PRIVATE LANDS SUMMIT 

The Private Lands Summit is a full-day of presentations built 

around a single theme, focused on “higher-level” aspects 

of landownership/management, and delivered by experts in 

their respective fields. The event is held each summer at the 

JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa in San Antonio the 

Thursday preceding TWA’s annual convention. Past themes 

have included: Understanding a Changing Texas: Impacts of 

Eminent Domain and Consequences of Landowner Liability, 

Impacts Across Fencelines, and Sustainability of Land-Based 

Profits and Products. 

WILDLIFE CONVENTION EDUCATION SESSIONS 

The Texas WildLife Education Sessions provide an opportunity 

for attendees at TWA’s annual convention, held in July in 

San Antonio, to mix a healthy dose of conservation education 

into the fun and camaraderie of the weekend. The education 

sessions, which cover a wide range of topics, are offered for 

a half-day on Saturday. Designed to appeal to a broad crosssection 

of landowners, last year’s topics included: techniques in 

quail management; an update on pollinators in crisis; advances 

and developments in feral hog control tools and strategies; 

managing for wildlife in conjunction with oil and gas production; 

and the basics of planned grazing. 

RANCHING & WILDLIFE EXPO AT THE HOUSTON LIVESTOCK SHOW & RODEO 

TWA co-hosts three half-days of seminars as part of the 

Ranching & Wildlife Expo, which is held each year during the 

first week of the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. While the 

specific topics vary from year to year, the umbrella themes 

remain consistent. The first day centers on cattle and ranching; 

the second day focuses on the tools of wildlife management; 

and the third day showcases the interaction of ranching and 

wildlife including things such as estate planning. Each halfday 

session includes several presentations and attendees can 

come-and-go or come-and-stay. Pre-registration qualifies 

attendees for free parking and free admission to the show. 

In Development for 2018 

SOUTH TEXAS WILDLIFE CONFERENCE 

The South Texas Wildlife Conference, which has been held 

for more than 15 years, is a one-day conference that brings 

together practitioners, land managers, policy makers, wildlife 

biologists and wildlife researchers to discuss a topic (or two) of 

concern in South Texas. Traditionally, it has been co-hosted by 

TWA, TPWD and the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute 

at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. 

WATERFOWL SYMPOSIUM 

The Waterfowl Symposium provides a focused look into the 

natural history of waterfowl in Texas. The symposium, which 

moves to different locations with prime waterfowl habitat, 

consists of one day in the classroom and a half-day in the field. ° 

Information 24/7 

WEBINARS 

TWA has developed a series of webinars 

that allow participants to get information 

any time of day or night from the comfort of 

their office, couch or deer blind (depending 

on internet access). The webinars, which 

are 20 minutes to 30 minutes long, cover a 

range of wildlife management topics. Like 

the live education programming, these 

recorded sessions are taught by the state’s 

leading experts. 

To access the video library, go to 

www.Texas-Wildlife.org and click on 

resources and then webinars (or all 

webcasts if you’d like access to youth 

programming as well as adult programming). 

New programs are released on the third 

Thursday of every month. 

PODCASTS (COMING IN 2018) 

If you like to get your info on the go, 

TWA’s podcast may be your preferred 

source of information. The series is under 

development, but the podcast, which will 

likely be in a “talk show” format, will not 

only cover hands-on management topics 

and emerging policy issues, but delve 

into the philosophical areas of hunting, 

conservation with the aim of bridging the 

gap between urban and rural Texas. 

Watch for the launch later this year. 

It will be available via resources on

CROW FAIR RANCH 

157 ACRES SOUTHWEST OF FREDERICKSBURG 

This breathtaking 157-acre estate, located 13 

miles outside Fredericksburg, is a combination of 

hills and valleys along Devils Creek. This yearround 

creek is dammed in three places and pools 

alongside the home in an approximate 300'x60' 

beautiful body of water where you can fish and 

enjoy its beauty from the patio/pavilion. The 

property has an agriculture exemption on its 30- 

acre Kleingrass hay field, while the remainder is 

under a wildlife exemption, allowing the ranch to 

be used for both wildlife beauty and livestock. 

The award-winning home was redesigned and 

rebuilt by Richard Laughlin in 2014. It won 

numerous state and national awards and was 

featured in both Western Art & Architecture 

Magazine and Spectacular Kitchens of Texas. The 

setting around the 6,000-square-foot home is 

both private and serene. The home features a 

large master suite, including a sanctuary room 

that offers incredible views of the creek and 

ranch, a guest room, his and her offices and a 

fabulous chef’s kitchen with full butler’s pantry. 

The main home is constructed of beautiful stone 

and stucco exterior with metal roof. The interior 

features American Clay neutral walls, 

handscraped oak flooring, 20-foot ceilings 

and many architectural features. The builder 

used reclaimed wood from Iowa for the beams 

and wood finishes both inside the home and 

on the patios, recreating the desired historic 

Hill Country estate. The game room includes 

an exercise room/gym and bath that could be 

converted to a king bedroom suite, with a living 

area, game area and kitchen. The separate 

garage is connected to the home by a beautiful 

covered breezeway. There is an additional threecar 

garage in an insulated metal building, plus 

two hay and implement storage barns. 

The exceptionally restored log cabin serves as a 

guesthouse, sleeps six and is beautifully decorated 

in Ralph Lauren style. Across from the main house 

is a fully fenced, raised bed garden with quaint 

garden house and chicken coop. Up the hill at the 

top of the ranch is a charming gazebo with stone 

fireplace and dining table that offers incredible 

views of the entire ranch. Close by on the hill is a 

skeet shooting station with automatic thrower. 

A 30,000 gallon rain water collection system fully 

supplies the home with healthy, delicious water, 

allowing the four wells on the property to be used 

for landscaping, agriculture or livestock. 

The house features 100 Mbps fiber optic internet 

and a 12 zone, 4,000 watt RTI home audio system 

controlled by over half a dozen in-wall touch panels 

or from any tablet or smart phone. These panels 

also control two video zones and the entire home’s 

state-of-the-art Lutron smart lighting system. 

Crow Fair is a fully equine-ready property with fullsize 

arena and round training pen. It features a 

Richard Laughlin-designed barn constructed 

of stone and HardiePlank that includes office/ 

breakroom, full bath, tack room, wash room, feed 

room and four inside/outside stalls with automatic 

waterers and Priefert panels. Adjacent to the barn 

are three 10–15 acre fenced grazing paddocks with

Answering the 

Land’s Call 



75

PROFILE 

Justin Cop, owner of Fredericksburg Realty, 

risked his wife’s wrath to answer the long, loud call of the Texas Hill Country and 

establish himself as a ranch broker. 

“For two years, Amy was pretty upset at me for uprooting our family, but now you 

couldn’t pay her enough to leave,” Justin said laughing. 

To put this in perspective, both Justin and Amy are natives of Zachary, Louisiana, a 

small town that has grown into a suburb of Baton Rouge. 

“Her family, both immediate and extended, has been in Zachary forever,” he said. 

And, to further complicate the 2010 move, the young couple’s children were fiveyears-old, 

three-years-old and two-weeks-old. (They have since added a fourth child 

to their family.) 

Plus, Justin changed careers. After earning a business degree from Ole Miss, he 

founded an equipment repair business that specialized in the chemical, nuclear and 

paper industries. He sold the industrial business, planning to move to the Texas Hill 

Country, a region he had grown to love when his parents, who are still his primary 

mentors, moved to the region some 25 years earlier. Throughout his college years 

and early adulthood, Justin spent as much time as possible in Texas, which quickly 

became his second home. 

“Back in the early 90s, I couldn’t wait to go hunt on our South Texas ranch,” he said. 

“I was amazed by the size of the deer and how they just seemed to appear from out 

behind a bush.” 

One of his favorite memories of hunting South Texas occurred when he dug a 

three-foot hole underneath a Guajillo bush to get “up close and personal” with the 

surroundings and wildlife while he was bowhunting. 

“I also loved the South Texas sunsets because they just seemed bigger—and right in 

your face,” Justin said. 

Then, the sportsmen would return to his parents’ Hill Country home, where he 

would revel in the drier climate and the scenery that were vastly different from South 

Louisiana. 

“I’d always say tell my dad, ‘Don’t ever sell this place,’ and inevitably the next year, 

he would have another,” Justin said. “I just knew that one day I would come back 

here to live.” 

Eventually his father, who had dabbled in real estate throughout the Hill Country, 

introduced Justin to Trip duPerier. 

“I wanted to learn the ranch real estate business from the bottom up, so I worked for 

Trip for two years before obtaining my license and earning a spot on the team,” Justin, 

whose largest real estate transaction to date has been the $30 million sale of 11,500 

acres in McCullough County, said. “The early, lean years in the business were worth 

it because I had the chance to work all over the state and learn things like pricing in 

different regions. Plus, working under Trip was kind of like sticking my mouth to a fire 

hydrant of real estate knowledge.” 

In addition, the move allowed the young couple to raise their children outside the 

hustle and bustle of a growing suburb near Baton Rouge. 

76

PROFILE 

“I wanted our children to grow up in a small town 

environment where the air is clean and fresh . . . a place 

where they could grow up hunting, fishing and playing 

outside like I did,” Justin said. 

For as long he can remember, his family had 

properties to hunt in Louisiana. When Justin got old 

enough, he took over the planning, planting and 

maintenance of food plots. 

“I fell in love with smell of tilled dirt and got land in 

my blood,” he said. 

These days the lifelong hunter pursues whitetailed 

deer as a bow-hunting, low-fence purist. 

“For me it’s about the hunt, not necessarily about 

the harvest,” Justin, who pits his skills against 

some of big bucks every November on an annual 

hunt in Illinois, said. 

While hunting seasons are limited, keeping in 

shooting shape is a year-round activity. Justin’s 

children all shoot with him, including the threeyear-old. 

“It’s one of the many athletic things we do 

together,” he said. 

The family recently moved from their ranch 

to town to simplify shuttling the kids to their 

various sports and activities. They still have a 

ranch where they can get outdoors together. 

“I love land real estate so much I have to 

consciously take time away from my job so 

that my life will retain the necessary balance,” Justin said. 

He remained with duPerier Texas Land Man until April 2017 when Justin 

purchased Fredericksburg Realty. 

An Expansive Vision 

Fredericksburg Realty has been a local landmark for decades. Under the leadership of 

Sherman Durst, it became the go-to agency for Gillespie County. 

“Sherman developed a reputation for knowing what he was talking about and being a 

man of his word,” Justin said. “He was known for character traits that are important to 

me, so I’m building on that strong foundation.” 

Part of the foundation is a team of four experienced agents: Sissy duPerier, Krista 

Bennett, Caleb Hail and Bob Surma. 

“The agents brought a level of responsibility I didn’t anticipate, but they have been 

such a blessing,” Justin said. “We are a very tight-knit group who share the same 

vision, goals and priorities—of God, family and customer service in the form of longterm 

relationships.”

PROFILE 

Theirs is a relationship built on shared knowledge and expertise. Justin’s sister, 

Keely Corona, manages the office. The strong working relationship at Fredericksburg 

Realty is attracting attention and new agents. 

Since the spring, Kari Bock, Ginny Stehling, Peggy Cox and Randy Bouley 

have joined the growing team as agents. The residential specialists are 

enhancing Justin’s knowledge of that sector, while he is introducing some 

of them to ranch real estate and beefing up the agency’s presence in that 

arena through its ranch division, Texas Ranch Realty. 

“Frankly, I can’t wait get out of the office,” he said. “I love being out where 

I can ‘smell the dirt’ and see everyone’s distinct perspective of their dream 

place is. What is better than that? I’m blessed.” 

The group is spreading its reach beyond Gillespie County to the entire 

Hill Country and into the brush country of South Texas. The fast-pace 

and long hours required for a business expansion invigorate Justin, who 

honed his work ethic and competitive spirit as an Ironman triathlete. 

Ironman competitors must complete a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride 

and a 26.2 mile run. (For the record, the region’s farm-to-market roads 

and highways that snake over the region’s namesake hills provided 

Justin’s training routes for both long-distance bike rides and runs.) 

The Value of Texas Land 

“The world we’re living in now is unpredictable. Sometimes 

it feels just crazy, but the crazier it gets the more that people 

crave something solid. Land is solid—a tangible, solid 

investment that gives people an opportunity to get back 

to the basics of life. Land is a place where traditions and 

relationships flourish. 

From a financial aspect, land is a consistent performer 

unlike housing. I don’t see any indicators of ranch real 

estate softening. 

As people compare land to the uncertainty of the stock 

market, which is dependent in large part on confidence 

in the U.S., land is rock solid. When I look at land values 

historically—many times going back to the original land 

patents—there has been a notable, continuous escalation in 

value over time. It’s particularly obvious in the Hill Country, 

maybe more so than any other place in Texas. 

About 80 percent of our buyers come from Houston, and 

most of them are 45 years old to 65 years old. They’ve done 

their work. They’ve saved their money and have the means 

to invest in the life they want to live. 

In the aftermath of Hurricane 

Harvey, our phones started ringing. People are 

tired of rebuilding after the floods. They’re tired of fighting 

the city—the congestion, the crime, the crowds. They’re 

looking to get away. 

It’s interesting to me how many of our clients purchase a 

property with the intent of it being a second home, but after 

they get out on the land or in a small town, they quickly 

transition to full-time. It’s as if they didn’t realize how hungry 

they were for open space, nature and community until they 

experienced it. Then, it’s as if they can’t get enough. Land, in 

my opinion, is the ultimate long-term hold. It brings us back 

to our roots and speaks to our innate desire to be part of the 

natural world. It gives us a place to get away from the pressure 

cooker of modern life. When we actually allow ourselves to 

get away, it’s a cleansing, almost primal experience that puts 

us back in touch with what makes us human.” 

78

“With Ironman, you can’t be good at just one thing, you have to master a set of very 

different skills,” Justin said. “And, it’s not a just a quick burst out of the gate, but your 

ability to train harder over time, so you can maintain consistency—and improve—in 

the long run. Business is the very same way.” 

His history as an Ironman also speaks to the energy and commitment Justin brings 

to ranch real estate. 

“Unlike an Ironman competition, ranch real estate requires teamwork,” Justin said. 

“My agents and I are willing to put in the work necessary to be the best we can be.” 

He is also inspired by Texas land. 

“The topography and climate of Texas are just so diverse,” Justin said. “The 

far-flung spaces of West Texas with mountains, canyons and air so dry the 

sweat evaporates almost before it leaves your pores to the Gulf Coast where the 

humidity is almost suffocating—and everything in between.” 

And, then there’s the history. 

“In Texas, people have a sense of history,” Justin said. “Ranches have been 

held in families for five, six and even seven generations.” 

He’s an avid student of what has gone before. 

“The coolest thing I ever heard on a legal description was marking boundary lines 

with the distance covered on horseback in the time it takes to smoke two cigarettes,” 

Justin said. “That sort of thing makes history come to life for me.” 

While he is motivated and inspired by many things, he ultimately is driven to develop 

and nurture lasting relationships. 

“I’m defined by relationships with God, my family and other people,” Justin said. 

“Real estate is a relationship business in which you’re only as good as your last referral 

and your last deal. Every day, I work to procure, hold and strengthen relationships that 

will earn me the opportunity to represent people’s best interests.” °

THE VILLAGE WHERE YOU ARRIVE AS STRANGERS, BUT LEAVE AS FRIENDS. 

SOUTHERN STAR RANCH 

3,200± ACRES UVALDE COUNTY 

The Southern Star Ranch features rolling 

hills, mature trees and native shrubs with 

the Nueces River running through the land. 

Water is abundant and wildlife plentiful. 

One of its many impressive features is the 

25,000± square-foot old world Spanish 

mission lodge that was specifically designed 

for entertaining large family outings, 

hunting adventures and gatherings. With 

its vast and many buildings, it resembles a 

Spanish-style village—hence the “Mexican 

Village” soon stuck as the name of this 

spectacular feat of architecture. The village 

includes multiple buildings surrounding a 

large public plaza. In the center of the plaza 

sits an authentic water fountain imported 

from Guadalajara, Mexico. Brick walkways 

extend out from the plaza, connecting 

the living areas with numerous screened 

patios and outdoor gathering spaces. Being 

located in the famed hunting grounds of 

South Texas, the landscape was specifically 

manipulated to increase and promote the 

amount of quail and whitetail deer habitat 

throughout the ranch. In 2006 the ranch 

began a program of planting a variety of 

native grasses and forbs throughout the 

property with strategic roads specifically 

designed for first-class hunting and 

management. The whitetail deer herd has 

been carefully managed under the Texas 

Parks and Wildlife MLD program to enhance 

and produce numerous deer roaming the 

pastures—over 300+ Boone and Crockett. 

Every aspect of this ranch was inspired 

to produce the best of everything for the 

person who wants nothing left undone and 

to leave a stunning lifelong impression.

PRICED TO SELL $1,595,000 

Properties of such quality and composition rarely become available in this highly 

desirable locale. The remarkable 5 bedroom, 5+ bath home comprising of 5,758 

square feet was constructed circa 1938 and reflects a quality of materials and 

craftsmanship not found in modern times. 

The vision of the original owners and architect and the accomplishment in construction 

is breathtaking. Native stone, wood floors, massive beams and vaulted superstructure, 

in conjuncture with a forward thinking open floor plan, create an atmosphere that is 

nothing short of “WOW”. Scenic grounds and 1,175 feet of beautiful Verde Creek 

provide many opportunities for pleasure, relaxation and recreation. 

The entire living area of the home is on one level with the exception of a second floor 

guest bedroom and the enormous great room that is split level. The remodeled 

kitchen is a visual delight with many refinements including a free standing stone 

pizza oven and exotic inlaid wood cabinetry from Chile. 

This exceptional property is ideally suited for use as an exclusive residential estate, 

multi-family compound, corporate retreat, or the site of a MAGNIFICENT HILL 

COUNTRY WINERY. Located near historic Camp Verde and only 15 minutes to 

the Kerrville airport.

A MISSION IN PRINT 

Modern Huntsman is a biannual publication, and online 

forum for like minded conservationists, creatives, and 

outdoor enthusiasts. Born out of frustration with the 

way hunting is often mis-represented, this publication 

will be told from the perspective of hunting purists and 

philosophers, unaltered by the skews of mainstream media, 

misinformed emotional rants, and corporate interests. In 

short, we’ll be returning to the root traditions, in hopes of 

improving the perception of hunting in our modern society.
