Key Attributes
Location
The ranch is located in southwest Wise County on County Road 3655 between Bridgeport and Stringtown and just minutes from Boonsville. It is 25 miles north of Weatherford, and about 35 miles from either Denton or Fort Worth.
Topography, Rangeland & Habitat
The ranch is composed largely of native pasture land with small sections of wooded area. Since 1985 there has been no use of commercial fertilizer on the ranch helping keep the land in its most natural form. The north end of the property features thick vegetation which makes for great wildlife bedding grounds.
Wildlife
There is an abundance of deer and turkeys found on this ranch with little to no hunting pressure on the property. Each year, multiple 150+ class deer are seen roaming the ranch in the early hours of the morning and last light in the evening. This is largely due to the fact that the ranch is surrounded by significantly larger ranches who follow strict deer management programs.
Feral hogs, coyotes and bobcats are also found on the ranch but due to management efforts the numbers have decreased significantly. With the ranch’s proximity to Lake Bridgeport, the waterfowl hunting remains strong each year. The most common ducks found on the property are gadwall, widgeon, teal, pintail, mallards, and ring necks. The dove hunting is good, with consistent birds each year.
Improvements
The property has great perimeter fencing and is cross-fenced into 3 pastures.
Water
The ranch has 2 ponds on it, both roughly half acre in size. They have held water consistently through droughts. There is also a seasonal creek that runs through the property as well.
