Hunting:
Dos Hermanos Ranch has arguably one of the best native deer herds in South Texas. Never having any outside genetics introduced, the ranch has been high fenced and intensely game managed for 9 years by the same family. The owners have purposefully never taken a trophy off the property, and have kept meticulous records of bucks that have been raised on the ranch, watching them grow from year to year. There are bucks that are estimated to go over 200 B&C, and numerous others that are estimated to score in the 170’s, 180’s, and 190’s. There are over 1,000 pictures taken of bucks all over the ranch to prove this statement. There are also helicopter deer surveys that are available upon request. Needless to say the deer hunting on this ranch is phenomenal! After 9 years of hard work and tender care, the table is set for the next owner to step in and enjoy the best whitetail deer hunting in Texas. There is great turkey hunting on the ranch, with many roosting spots along the creek bottoms covered in big hardwoods.
Depending on rainfall, the dove and quail hunting have been excellent.
Water:
This property has 3 water wells, equipped with 2 windmills and 1 electric submersible pump. There are over 15 miles of buried water lines throughout the ranch supplying water to approximately 15 concrete watering troughs. The creek bottoms also hold pockets of water during a rainy season.
Improvements:
