The Ranch has not allowed hunting in the last five years and has not been commercially grazed in over ten years. There are 16 automatic, protein and corn feeders throughout the ranch that have been maintained and filled for the past four years in an effort to draw wildlife in for observation.

Improvements include:

•New Headquarters Complex with bunkhouse, rock bathhouse with very nice bathroom, shower and dressing area, corral, covered picnic area, water tank, driveways and roads, all along the banks of Merrell Creek with its dramatic rock outcrops, cliffs and trees.

•New pipe entrance and gate on Highway 166 with landscaped roadway into the ranch.

•Three miles of new roads and two miles of new fencing.

•Six welded heavy pipe gates.

•Large Observation Blind with spacious room for over 4 people.

•One submersible well with storage and one windmill at the Headquarters.

•Three natural springs with several water troughs, pipelines and storage.

•New Picnic Area under construction at top of high hill with breathtaking views of the Area Mountains and views all the way into Mexico.

Water

The ranch has an abundance of natural spring water, a rarity in this part of

Texas. There are two water wells - one is located at the front of the ranch and works off of an electrified submersible pump, while the other is in the High Point Mountain pasture. This particular well works off of a windmill with the water table at a depth of 30 feet. Four, year-round springs flow continually and have never been dry. The Blue Seep, Eagle and Cottonwood Springs keep metal troughs throughout the ranch full for wildlife and like the springs, the troughs never run dry. Merrell Creek meanders through the property which provides clear mountain water during six months of the year.
