TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT

Rancho La Luna has a good mix of gently rolling terrain allowing for vistas of the far horizons and beautiful sunsets. The soils are comprised of 80% fine sandy loam, perfect for producing the grasses Bobwhite Quail desire to nest, loaf and forage in. The remaining soil complex is 10% clay loam and 10% loam. The fine sandy loam soils on the ranch are so beneficial to the habitat, that the recruitment rate of invasive brush species is much lower than the tighter soil such as clay and loamy clay. The brush on the ranch is a quality mix of native brush species desired for deer and exotics. The brush is scattered or motted except in riparian and the bottoms areas.

As a supplement, attractant and forage value, there are several large food plots that are planted annually for dove and big game. Wheat, Lucina and dove mixes do well in the sandy loam soils on the ranch.

WILDLIFE

As you enter the ranch you will understand why quail is king on the property. The ranch is located on the Southwestern end of the South Texas sand sheet and has the soils for great populations of Bobwhites. On a ranch this size, you could hunt the pastures on a weekly rotation throughout the season. Although the quail are paramount on this property, the current owner very much enjoys hunting safari style and has breeding populations of excellent exotic species. The ranch supports healthy numbers of Eland, Wildbeest, Gemsbok, Scymitar, Blesbok, Blackbuck, Addax, Warthog, Fallow, Axis, Nilgai, Zebra, Bison and Sable. With this mix of species, you could hunt them commercially for a source of revenue, trap and sell live animals or utilize them for recreational hunting. A mix of all the above is possible with the bonus of photo and viewing safaris. The deer population on the ranch is of high-quality genetics and is kept at a low density to support larger antler growth.

For further ranch recreation, the ranch has a very healthy population of Turkey and other native game species such as Javelina and predators.

Dove hunting around the food plots and water holes is fantastic on this ranch. Each year, dove and big game plots are planted to rotate fields and have exceptional dove hunting.
