EDITOR’S PAGE
Land or Lifestyle?
Some people wonder whether the chicken or the egg
came first. At Lands of Texas Magazine, our burning question
has nothing to do with poultry, instead, we ponder: What
comes first the land or the lifestyle? In other words, do
people embrace their inner outdoorsman when they buy
land or do they buy to unleash their wilder sides.
Actually, the answer doesn’t really matter because when it
comes to land and the lifestyle it inspires, you can’t have one
without the other. The land informs the lifestyle and vice
versa.
Family and friends may gather in an elaborate outdoor
kitchen or around a simple fire pit. The clothes of choice
may be western weekend chic or dirty camo. The pursuits
may be hunting, horseback riding, hiking or simply sitting
quietly and watching the sun set on a fun-filled day. The
details are incidental to the shared adventure of being part
of nature. It’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all experience. And
it shouldn’t be.
Wide open spaces draw people closer together and no one
really knows why. It seems completely counter intuitive. But
it happens. Like magic, only better. Land, it’s the common
ground for a life with high style.

Interview by Courtney Donnell
What is the title on your business card?
The front is Broker. The back is Mineral Sales. We do ranch, farm and oil and
gas sales.
Which do you like better?
You know, they are both interconnected and the same to me. I love the
farm and ranch side, because I think, for most people, their dream is to have
their own place. If you go back in time, the old western days, everybody
wanted a ranch or a farm. That has always been my dream, since I was a kid.
My dad, my uncles and my grandfathers, they all had ranches when I was a
kid. So, you love the ranch, but with the ranch, most of the time, comes the
minerals. So, what we have found, businesswise, is that they tie in real well
with each other. It is tough for me to distinguish one from the other.
You grew up working on your grandfather’s cattle ranch, is your entire
family a ranch family?
Ranch based and military. My grandfather had a ranch and farms in
Hempstead. When we lived in Texas, we were always there helping or playing
on it. My uncle had a big cattle lease by Freer and a ranch down by Alice.
My dad got his Ag degree from San Marcos. As kids, we lived oversees, but
when we came back into the States, we lived in Texas, Colorado and other
places. We always had horses, cows, sheep, chickens and land. So, yes, we
have always been involved in it, one way or another.
Do you live on a ranch now?
We have a small property and a cattle lease that we run cattle on. The kids
are all getting riding lessons.
When and how did you get started selling ranches?
I always kind of wondered what I would do when I grew up, after the
military. It just took me a while. But, I was in D.C., at the Pentagon. I was
getting ready to go back to Afghanistan again or be a Four Stars Exec, we had
newborn boys and I was asking myself, “Am I going to do this again, or am I
going to do something else?” I called a buddy who had just retired. He said, “If
you are serious about retiring, I want to hook you up with a guy who wants
to open up a real estate office in Texas. He’s got one up in Oklahoma.” I called
him and we met out here in Boerne. We always had a saying, “Courage is one
step ahead of fear,” in military and civilian life. I put in my paperwork to retire,
got harassed by a bunch of generals who wanted me to stay in, took my real
estate license exam as the family was moving out here, got a sponsor broker
and set up the office. Two years later, I took the broker’s exam and started
doing it on my own.
What is the strangest experience you’ve had showing a ranch?
I had a listing in South Texas that we should have titled “Rattlesnake
Ranch.” No matter where we walked, we kicked up rattlesnakes; and I mean
everywhere. I had a client that wanted to go out and take a look at it. So I
informed him to wear jeans and boots when he came in. But, he showed
up in shorts and sandals to look at that ranch. Then, he wanted to walk the
fence line. I warned him, but he insisted on walking the line. After the second
rattlesnake encounter, that man walked so close behind me, that every time
I stopped he bumped into me. I almost had to carry him on my back to get
him back to the truck.
What have you learned is the most important aspect of selling ranches?
Being truthful. Being truthful, honest and having an ethical side to you
really is the most important thing. People put their trust in you. They can
usually see right through you if you are deceitful or a liar. That is what I really
like about the Texas Alliance of Land Brokers. The entire group is filled with
like-minded individuals, ranch brokers, financial institutions, and the satellite
members that stand for honesty and integrity. We police our own. We are
very up front about everything. We really work to support the industry and

provide the knowledge base necessary to keep our members fully informed
of the current changes and challenges in today’s market.
You are currently president of the Texas Alliance of Land Brokers. What
are your responsibilities?
You kind of provide the yearly focus for the organization. You try to inform
members on legislative issues and upcoming market issues and direct the
organization’s voice if there is a legislative issue, such as the Oil and Gas
Addendum. We, as an organization had an issue with the old Oil and Gas
Addendum that the Texas Real Estate Commission had promulgated. We
have a large group of members that are very knowledgeable with the oil
and gas industry and they provided a lot of input to TREC concerning the
addendum. Judon Fambrough, who is an oil and gas attorney and a member
of TALB, provided our key input to TREC on the problems with the addendum
and what needed to be changed. That was our big push this year, trying
to get our input included for changes to be made to the Texas Oil and Gas
Addendum for the TREC contracts.
How do you become President?
You have to be involved. You have to attend meetings and have input with
the organization. You usually have to have an elected position before you
become president. Most of the time, you are the vice-president and then you
are elected to become the president. That is how it normally works. We have
a board that meets quarterly to go over by-laws, or organizational changes
or legislative focus for the organization. You just really have to be involved
and really understand the organization. All positions and board members are
voted in; it’s not like an automatic selection.
What does Alliance do for members?
There is the educational side of it, with the monthly classes. This year
we developed a program committee that was very involved in getting
great speakers every month. If there is anything that comes up, such as

water rights, or mineral rights or something that we see state wide, or even
nationally that we, as an organization think is going to impact our industry,
our market, or our landowners in a positive or negative way, we make sure
everybody knows about it. We are a very vocal and outspoken organization
on landowner rights, mineral rights and water rights. We keep our members
informed. We keep them involved in the land market legislatively. We impact
the market and make sure that land owner’s retain their rights.
They have access to our website, (www.texaslandbrokers.org). Members
can list their properties up on the site, and promote them to our audience.
The site has a very high level of activity.
And, then you have the meetings, which you can use not only as a great
networking tool, but as a marketing tool. Members can get up and talk about
what they have listed or what they are looking for. For example, one member
will stand up and say, “Hey, I have a buyer looking for… and, another guy will
stand up and say, “I just got a new listing and it’s this….”
Overall, it is an invaluable tool, for education, awareness, industry
connections and marketing. I have a binder five inches thick with information
I have gathered from those meetings.
How do you become a member?
You have to be associated with the farm and ranch industry. So, you either
have to be a broker, or what we call an affiliate, which includes the guys
that do the financing, title company members and other companies who
support the industry. You can go to the website, read the by-laws and sign
up for a membership. We did change some of the by-laws, because we really
want to make sure the right people are joining the organization.
In general, how do you feel about the industry today?
You know, I came into the industry when it was pretty flat and stagnant
because of the economy. I think the industry has recovered from that. We
are starting to see an increase in activity, more buyers starting to pursue land
again and really feeling comfortable about purchases. I am also starting to
see a lot more foreign and out of state buyers again. Out-of-Staters, from
the east coast and California, coming and buying recreational properties,
high-fence properties. We also have foreigners coming in and looking at
horse facilities and smaller ranch facilities outside the metropolitan areas. So,
I think we are starting to see a globalization of the market, where it is foreign

Rural Entrances Put Pride and Purpose on Display
Charlie Middleton/Chas. S. Middleton and Son
Stone walls and wildlife-themed metalwork symbolize pride of ownership at this
Northwest Texas ranch, which has a long history of hunting and cattle ranching.
ou could say Texans like to make a dramatic entrance.
From the High Plains to the Piney Woods and the Red
River to the Rio Grande, one thing we have in common is
the desire to make a statement with our gates and entries.
In the Texas Hill Country, generations have put craftsmanship
on display with decorative metal gates flanked by stone piers and
walls. In the Panhandle and West Texas, arches rule the day, from
basic posts and crossbars to arcs bearing the family or ranch name.
In South Texas, entrances range from simple to ornate and often
are landscaped with rugged native plants. And East Texas tastes are
as varied as the terrain, where brick columns with board fencing
are popular in horse country and pipe fencing is common on
cattle ranches and timberland.
“My granddad always used to say, ‘The bigger the gate, the smaller
the ranch.’ Nowadays that’s not necessarily the case,” says Sarah
Cortese, Capital Farm Credit director of communications, who is
based in Lubbock. “Simplicity and utility were the accepted norms
then. They still are, but now entrances are more often used as a
form of self-expression.”
Often what determines the style of an entrance is the way the
property is used. Curb appeal frequently signals landowners’ pride
in their homesteads and hunting properties, while at full-time
farming and ranching operations, what matters most are functional
entrances that can stand up to heavy use and equipment.
Many properties incorporate both.
“You have your main entrance for a home and office, and larger
operations have separate entrances depending on the business
carried out on that portion,” Cortese says. “A horse-breeding
operation or an area where livestock are worked or shipped will
be separated out almost like a service entrance.”
FORM AND FUNCTION
Increasingly, owners display how they use their property like a
badge of honor. Gates and arches commonly feature metal silhouettes
of cattle or brands on ranches, corn or tractors on farms, and
deer or game birds on recreational property.
“The advent of the plasma cutter has made a huge difference in entrances.
If you can dream it, they can cut it,” says Kenneth Hooper,
senior vice president and officer in charge at Panhandle-Plains
Land Bank’s Plainview branch office. “Whether it’s Rancher Jones
or Dr. Jones, the owners put their signature on a piece of land in
some fashion to communicate with their workers and peers.”
Technology has also led a shift to custom wood or metal gates that
act as a billboard for the property.

Native landscaping and rugged pipe fencing are common sights on property used
for ranching or recreation in South Texas.
Decorative silhouettes transform a simple pipe entrance into a
work of art at a family ranch in the Hill Country.
“Automatic gate openers have become very common,” says Jolene
Curtis, vice president of business development for Texas Farm Credit.
Swinging or sliding gate openers can be hard-wired or solar-powered,
can be operated by remote control or keypad, and can be customized
with many security features.
“Some new technology lets owners monitor who’s accessing the gates
and when by using different access codes,” say Curtis, who is based
in Brenham. “Property with oil and gas leases will have multiple
people coming in and out, for example. We also see some systems
that take pictures of the people passing through, particularly in
South Texas.”
As important as security is, there’s also a lot to be said for
convenience.
“In plenty of places, you still walk out and open the gate,” Cortese
says with a laugh. “If someone invites you to ride shotgun, it isn’t as
much of a treat because the front passenger has to get out and open
the gate. Spouses, kids and guests alike have been in that position.”
GETTING STARTED
Frequently the entrance is one of the first improvements new owners
take on, whether they are just changing the name on the gate or
building a new home with matching stonework at the driveway.
With so many possible options, the cost varies greatly. Prices range
from about $3,000 for a utility gate with an automatic opener to
$75,000 or more for an entrance with custom masonry and metalwork.
It’s not unusual to spend $20,000, loan officers say.
To cover the expense, owners can finance an entrance several ways —
with the land purchase, with a package of land improvements such
as fencing and land clearing, or with an operating line of credit for
an agricultural operation.
“Being able to spread the cost over a term is an advantage,” Hooper
explains. “You can have manageable debt rather than burning all of
your liquidity making capital improvements. You may need some
of your cash to buy calves or equipment later.”
When you’re ready to build, make sure your entrance is designed
with safety and practicality in mind. Think about how much room
you will need to maneuver, the speed of traffic on the adjoining road,
and where to locate a driveway for the best visibility, braking and
turning. Most driveways will require a permit and inspection.
“From a very pragmatic standpoint, engaging a transportation agency
would be important, and the sooner the better,” says Bill Eisele, a
senior research engineer with the Texas A&M Transportation
Institute. “They work with landowners frequently, and are very
knowledgeable about driveway placement and design.”
To make sure you end up with a safe, functional and attractive
entrance:
• Look for a local contractor who has the experience and large
equipment necessary for rural property improvements
• Get bids and warranties in writing, and make sure they are in
line for your area
• Check references
“There can be a big price discrepancy between builders,” Curtis says.
“My main recommendation is to get referrals, interview the contractors’
other clients and go look at some of the work they’ve done.”
With financing and a reputable contractor lined up, all you’ll need
to make your dramatic entrance is imagination.
10 Tips for Rural Driveways
1. Contact the appropriate state, county or municipal agency about driveway
design, placement and permits. The Texas Department of Transportation
oversees driveways on FM, RM and RR roads, and state, U.S. and interstate
highways.
2. Locate driveways away from curves and hills, and avoid blocking visibility
with masonry, fencing, vegetation and mailboxes.
3. Consider installing separate entrances for a residence, farming or ranching
operation, oil and gas activity, or other functions on your property.
4. Make sure an entrance is wide and tall enough for the vehicles and
equipment that will use it.
5. Set the gate far enough from the road to accommodate a truck and trailer.
6. Consider adding a turn bay where driveway users can slow down without
blocking traffic.
7. Gate openers, intercoms, driveway sensors and cameras offer extra security
and convenience.
8. Use reflectors or lighting to improve visibility at night and during bad
weather.
9. If the property has game fencing, match it with a high gate.
10. Ensure good drainage with proper driveway placement, slope and culverts.

Waggoner
Ranch
22 LandsofTexasMagazine.com
The Largest One-of-a-Kind Ranch in North America
It’s a Texas-sized story that Hollywood could
never write, yet this story is destined for the history
books. The iconic Waggoner Ranch will be sold.

In 1866, when Dan Waggoner began branding
his livestock with three reversed D’s, he was
solving a problem. Reversing the D’s made the
brand hard for rustlers to alter. Little did he
know that the Waggoner brand would leave
the same indelible mark on Texas history.
Today, the three D’s signify the legend and the
legacy of the W.T. Waggoner Ranch, the largest
ranch “under one fence” in the United States.
For the first-time ever, the 510,000-acre
Waggoner Ranch will be offered to the open
market for sale internationally.
THE PAST
Dan Waggoner came to Texas from Tennessee in the mid-
1840s. He was a teenager when the family put down roots
in Hopkins County.
In 1850, two years after his father died, Dan bought six
horses and 242 head of Longhorns, which he located on
Denton Creek in Wise County. A year later, he increased
his herd and bought 15,000 acres near Cactus Hill, about 18
miles west of the frontier town of Decatur. Dan prospered.
Dan’s son, W.T., better known as Tom, got involved in
the ranch as a teenager. When he was just 14, Tom said, “I
want to run the most cattle, breed the best horses and work
harder than anyone.” In 1869, when Tom was 17, his father
made him a full partner.
Tom, Dan and a few select hands, trailed a herd from the
Little Wichita to Kansas, a venture that netted them $55,000.
Dan invested in more Longhorns at $8/head and more land.
In the late 1800s, in the area just south of the Red River,
North Texas was stricken with one of its periodic droughts.
Settlers were abandoning their smaller farms and ranches
and moving to more forgiving climates. To meet the growing
demands of their booming cattle operation, the Waggoners
began to buy large amounts of land along the Pease River,
much of it for less than $1 per acre at tax sales.
Dan died in 1903, giving full reins of the Waggoner Ranch
to Tom. He was only 27.
Droughts continued to plague the region, drying up stock
ponds and other surface water. Reliable water supplies
are essential for a successful cattle operation, so Tom
began digging wells. He was searching for fresh, potable
groundwater. To his disappointment, he found salt water
laced with traces of oil. Bad news for thirsty cattle. Good
news for the ranch’s bottom line.
Soon after, it was determined that 160,000 acres of the
land the Waggoners purchased along the banks of the Red
River were all rich in “black gold.” By 1909, Tom leased
about 250,000 acres to Texaco near the town now called

Electra, which was named after his daughter.
Within several years, the oil find made the Waggoner
family one of the wealthiest in the state.
Despite the staggering wealth generated by oil, Tom
stayed true to himself, maintaining his land as a working
cattle operation until the day he died, December 12, 1934.
His obituary made it clear the cattle and the land were his
first loves: “Although oil expanded [his property] into what
was described as the greatest fortune ever amassed by one
man west of the Mississippi River, he remained a cattleman
at heart. He had far greater interest in his cattle than in the
great oil pool which made him many times a millionaire…
He kept his promise to have ‘my land stocked with cows as
long as I live.’”
THE PRESENT
The Waggoner Ranch was approved to be liquidated
August 6, 2014, by Texas 46th District Court Judge Dan
Mike Bird.
The 510,000-acre Waggoner Ranch is an historic empire
that measures slightly smaller than Rhode Island. The
realm covers the southern half of Wilbarger County, the
northern third of Baylor County and portions of Wichita,
Archer, Knox and Foard counties just before the Panhandle
juts north from the Red River.
“The ranch is home to some of the best cattle and bestblooded
horses in the world,” said Bernard Uechtritz, an
international real estate advisor with Briggs Freeman
Sotheby’s International Realty, who was appointed to help
broker the sale. “It produces food and energy and its people
represent the backbone of our society. Their fortitude, values
and ethos exemplify what made America – Texas – great.”
It includes vast, rich oil fields, fertile farmland and endless
miles of rangeland dotted with enormous lakes and populated
by thousands of cattle and hundreds of foundation-bred,
award-winning American quarter horses.
The ranch features two main compounds as well as about
20 cowboy camps. Due to the ongoing drought, the cattle
herd has been cut to approximately 7,500 head, but during
normal conditions the ranch has supported up to 14,000
head. Currently, the ranch is home to about 475 Quarter
Horses bred in the tradition of Poco Bueno, who, in the
1940s, was the first horse of its breed to be insured for
$100,000.
Water is a precious commodity in northwest Texas and
Waggoner Ranch features two large privately owned lakes
built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Lake Kemp
covers 16,479 surface acres, while Lake Diversion covers
3,400 surface acres. While the ranch does not own the water
held in the lakes, it owns significant water rights.
The water is also lifeblood for wildlife. A Texas Monthly
reporter on a morning trip to the ranch in 2004 reported
seeing hundreds of deer, wild turkey, feral hogs, javelina and
a bobcat as “big as a mountain lion.” At that time, it was
estimated that 120,000 snow geese were expected to winter
on Santa Rosa Lake, a 1,500-acre lake that was privately
constructed and owned by the ranch.
Oil is the lifeblood of the business operations. Currently,
the ranch has more than 1,000 wells that produce a monthly
gross of 41,000 barrels a month for the entire estate. 41.67
percent of the mineral rights will convey with the ranch.
“To a buyer, there are potentially significant tax benefits
in addition to land appreciation and development,” said Sam
Middleton, owner of Chas. S. Middleton and Son, a real
estate and appraisal firm based in Lubbock, who was also
appointed as a broker. “Given the opportunities for further oil
exploration, green energy, prime farming and grazing land,
existing cattle and horse operations, and with an already
established infrastructure that includes dams and thousands
of miles of fencing and roads, the buyer will potentially get
an incredible tax write-off through accelerated depreciation
of the vast assets included with the land.”
THE FUTURE
“The perfect buyer, we believe, and the family believes, is
someone who understands the big picture of the Waggoner
Ranch, and that its preservation is critical to its continued
prosperity, legacy and value to society,” said Uechtritz. “For
either an individual or a corporate entity, the acquisition of
the ranch offers profitability, diversity and development with
the added opportunity to be a civic giant who will benefit
from immeasurable cultural and community alliance by
preserving an icon.”
Opportunity is the operative word. Currently around one
quarter of the acreage is under exploration for oil. Incredibly,
three quarters of the ranch acreage have not been explored
or developed for oil.
While wildlife is abundant, the ranch has never been
hunted commercially. There is the potential to derive
considerable income from a hunting enterprise.
“This ranch has not been commercially hunted except for
very limited quail hunting in 165 years of its ownership,”
said Middleton. “There are outstanding Boone and Crockett

BY LORIE WOODWARD CANTU
They come to Women of the Land (WOTL) from different places
bringing different backgrounds, different experiences, different expectations
and different goals. And, yet when the conversation begins to flow, the
women find themselves on firm common ground.
“The big thing about Women of the Land is the fellowship with other
women who share the same passions that I do,” said Lynita Kelldorf, who is
a nurse from Houston and owns 47 acres in Walker County near Huntsville.
“It’s not about our age, our jobs or our social status. It’s about the land. We
realize that land ownership is a gift and we have the responsibility to be
good stewards.”
WOTL started in 2005. Since then, 223 women have attended the eight regional and
two advanced programs. Some participants have enjoyed it so much that they’ve
attended several programs.
The next Advanced WOTL will be held in the spring of 2015 and the Regional WOTL is
slated for fall 2015. Exact dates, times and locations will be announced. Generally, there
is space for 25-35 attendees.
Registration, which includes food and lodging, for the weekend ranges from
$150–$200. The host ranches are equipped with comfortable guest accommodations,
so participants are not camping out or “roughing it.”
For more information about Women of the Land, call Clint Faas at the Texas Wildlife
Association, at (979) 541–9803 or email him at cfaas@texas-wildlife.org.
Kelldorf inherited her land from her mother who had inherited it
from her mother. The land has been in the family since her great great
grandfather’s wagon got stuck in Walker County in early 1900, preventing
him from reaching Galveston about the same time as the deadly hurricane.
News of the devastation reached him, prompting him to put down roots in
the same soil that mired his wagon. While Kelldorf’s mother owned the land,
she had never managed it. In fact, she would not allow any trees to be cut,
which in the Piney Woods means that land can become a tangled thicket.
A divorce at 50, prompted Kelldorf to question how she wanted to
approach the next phase of her life. She found the answer in her land.
“Bringing the land back to life and getting it in good shape, so my
children could enjoy it and someday care for it, seemed to be a good way to
direct my nurturing instinct,” Kelldorf, whose children are grown, said.
In the beginning, there were more questions than answers as Kelldorf
and her significant other, Jack Casey, began the task of managing the land. As
a member of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s Ranch and Wildlife
Committee, Kelldorf attended the group’s annual outdoor expo. There she
discovered WOTL and decided to attend.
Meanwhile, Kay Kelley, a housewife in Houston who owns land near
Carrizo Springs with her husband, Phil, also discovered WOTL. Over time, they
had acquired 1,200 acres in the heart of Texas’ Golden Triangle famous for
high-quality white-tailed deer. They used the ranch as a recreational hunting
property for their family, which included two young sons. Kay, who was
raised in Dallas, was a self-described city girl and, although her husband was
raised in a small Panhandle town and was an avid hunter, he didn’t have any
land management experience either. The couple was allowing their hunting
outfitter to manage their wildlife and their land. To their inexperienced eyes,
the habitat and the wildlife looked just fine.
Kelley just happened to run across an ad for WOTL in the Carrizo Springs
Javelin. She decided to go, thinking it was a field day for local women ranchers.
It seemed like a good way to meet the neighbors.
Approximately 200 miles north in Fayette County, between Flatonia
and Smithville, Jackie Harker, an energy industry professional, had already
attended her first WOTL. She and her husband, Steven, who live and work
in west Houston had searched for years before finding the perfect piece of
property. The couple bought 68 acres, in the gently rolling hills between
Flatonia and Smithville, with recreation and eventual retirement in mind.

Neither of them had ever managed land before.
When they bought the land, it had been used primarily for cattle
grazing. To maintain an agricultural valuation, the previous owners kept a
herd grazing, even when drought made vegetation scarce. The land had its
work clothes on when the Harkers purchased it.
As a member of the Texas Wildlife Association, Harker knew Tamara
Trail and Jenny Sanders, who at the time were on the organization’s staff and
were heading up various education efforts. The women’s paths had crossed
at a session of Becoming An Outdoorswoman, a program sponsored by the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department that focuses on basic skills for outdoor
recreational pursuits like camping, angling and shotgunning.
“It was just a natural progression from one program to the other,” Harker
said. She and a friend went to WOTL, telling their husbands they were taking
a “girls weekend to check it out” because they didn’t know what to expect.
Kelldorf and Kelley arrived at La Bandera Ranch in Carrizo Springs
as strangers and they left as friends bound by newfound knowledge
and a passion for learning more. Harker joined forces with them at a later
WOTL program.
Kelldorf said, “WOTL gave me a new knowledge base and opened up a
host of different avenues for gathering information. When you walk into the
coffee room at the hospital, people aren’t sitting around talking about the
government agencies that can help you manage your land.”
Harker added, “When something is brand new, especially something
multi-faceted like land management, sometimes you need background
information to even know what questions to ask. After WOTL, I know the
vocabulary and I know what to ask, making the whole decision-making
process for our property a lot less overwhelming.”
Kelley returned to the ranch with so many ideas that she said her
husband Phil thought “I’d lost my mind.” After completing a white-tailed
deer necropsy, she considered wildlife and their habitat from a whole new
perspective. She realized that the outfitter, in anticipation of selling hunts,
was keeping too many animals on their land. The Kelleys decided to continue
their education and manage their resources themselves.
With the newfound understanding of the alphabet agencies like
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), the Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS), Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) and
Texas A&M University AgriLife Extension (TAEX), the Kelleys were able to
obtain professional technical guidance and write a long-term management
plan. In addition, they identified cost-share programs that allowed them to
move toward their management goals, which included removing some
of the mesquite and prickly pear to encourage native grasses and forbs
to re-establish.
“As part of our management plan, we identified 350 acres where
mesquite needed to be thinned and our resource specialist from NRCS
helped us apply for a cost-share program that covered 70 percent of the
work’s cost,” she said. The couple sprayed the mesquites to defoliate them
and then allowed them to die and decay. As a follow-up, they sprayed the
prickly pear. Both practices exposed more ground to sunlight and rainfall.
“The response from the land has amazed us,” Kelley said. “We were
driving around after a recent rain, looking at native grass coming back where
there was previously just bare soil. The grass provides more thermal cover
and helps rainwater absorb into the ground. I wouldn’t have known or
appreciated that before.”
The women learned so much at their first WOTL weekends that the trio
followed up by attending other WOTL weekends around the state. Today,
they also serve on the Women of the Land Advisory Committee.
Kelley said, “We went to so many basic courses that the program
director jokingly asked us if we were slow learners. There’s so much good
information — and it’s so much fun — that once is not enough.”
While the basic topics such as wildlife’s habitat requirements and Aldo
Leopold’s management tools remain the same, the speakers change and
settings change, so each program is different. By rotating locations, attendees
gain perspective on ecosystem differences and management challenges in
different parts of the state, but take home knowledge that can be applied
directly to their individual situations. Kelldorf said, “WOTL gives you the tools
to make your particular corner of the world better, no matter your budget,
no matter its location or size.”
Today, there is a second phase program called Advanced WOTL. It,
too, focuses on land management and stewardship, but the tools are
bigger. The participants have a chance to drive bulldozers, build water
guzzlers, and use chainsaws.
Harker, who carries the knowledge she gains back to her husband,
said, “It’s amazing what a bunch of women can do when they want to.
It’s empowering to know that other women have done it and that we
women don’t have to wait on someone else, we can be the instigators
of conservation.”
While the program is built on a shared passion for the land, the
importance of the stewardship sisterhood can’t be denied. Kelldorf said, “It’s
not intimidating to ask a question at WOTL because women naturally lean
toward one another for support. We open up quickly, especially when you
have the common ground of land stewardship. If you think about it, sharing
land management knowledge isn’t that much different than sharing recipes
at a potluck dinner. If you know how to make something really special, you
want your friends to know how to do it, too.”
At Women of the Land, everyone is welcome. It doesn’t matter whether you have a
one-acre backyard or a 100,000-acre ranch. In an effort to reach more people with
conservation that matters, Kelley, Kelldorf and Harker are hosting a one-day rainwater
harvesting workshop on behalf of WOTL.
“Before April Showers” is scheduled for Saturday, February 7 at the Blinn College
Rankin Agricultural Complex (1409 Mill Creek Road) in Brenham, Texas. Registration
will begin at 8:00 a.m. or participants can preregister through the Texas Wildlife
Association website (www.texas-wildlife.org).
Speakers include Todd Locco, certified rainwater collection consultant, and Jack
Casey, professional landscaper and owner of Cactus Jack Designs.
While the workshop is coordinated through WOTL, men are welcome to attend.

Sleeping in the Country
BY ROBERT AND JANELLE FEARS
Nothing is more peaceful than sleeping in the country. The day normally ends with a vivid sunset
displaying a fusion of bright colors. Color combinations vary depending upon the geographical area
and solid particle concentration in the air. Observed sunsets in East Texas have had alternating
bands of grey and gold ending with a final strip of pink as darkness settles over the landscape. In
West Texas, red sunsets commonly occur with an occasional yellow band, collectively resembling
fire, followed by alternating strips of blues and greys and then darkness.
When darkness engulfs the countryside, an auditory gift arrives. Nocturnal insects, birds,
amphibians and mammals come to life and unite in a chorus of individual notes while they forage
for their nightly meal. The comforting symphony serves as a reminder that we are not alone, but
part of an intricate ecosystem where a variety of organisms benefit each other. Learning the calls
of these nighttime creatures helps develop a better appreciation for the outdoors.
AMPHIBIANS
Frogs provide a majority of night sounds and Texas is home to over 40
species of frogs and toads. Lee Ann Johnson Linam, a biologist formerly with
Texas Nature Trackers at Wimberley, sorts frogs into groups by their sounds –
moaners, trillers, peepers, burpers, and insect-like.
Moaners are a group that Linam likes to sometimes call “farm animals in
distress”. For example, the Sheep Frog found in South Texas mimics an angry
bleating sheep, one that bleats for a l-o-n-g time. The Woodhouse’s Toad,
found throughout much of the state, has a short, flat, uninspired bleat and
the Couch’s Spadefoot’s call makes you think someone might be squeezing
a sheep. Hurter’s Spadefoot resonates like a sheep that is giving up. Although
considered a moaner, the Eastern Narrowmouth Toad actually resembles the
sound of a basketball game buzzer.
30 LandsofTexasMagazine.com
“Many of the toads are trillers producing a noise somewhat insect-like,” says
Linam. “It helps to pay attention to the pitch and duration of the trill. Gray
Treefrogs have a short single trill, while Texas Toads have a short pulsing trill,
resembling the sonorous pattern of a rivet gun. Houston Toads, American
Toads, and Red-Spotted Toads sing a long, high musical trill, while the trill of
the ubiquitous Coastal Plains Toad is lower and much less melodic.”
“Another group on the melodic end of the spectrum is the peepers, named
for the clear, high bell-like tone of the Spring Peeper,” Linam continues. “Drop
the bell’s pitch a bit and you get the Strecker’s Chorus Frog. Both of these
species sing primarily in the winter and early spring, and large groups of frogs
singing together take on their own melody – the sound of sleigh bells for
Spring Peepers and the sound of an axle in need of grease in the case of the
Strecker’s. In the warmer months one might hear the peepers plus the short
trills of the Cliff Chirping Frog in the Edward’s Plateau, the Spotted Chirping

LIFESTYLE
Frog in the Trans-Pecos, or the Rio Grande Chirping Frog, widely distributed
across the state, whose call has been described as sounding like tennis shoes
on a gym floor.”
On the less musical, but equally delightful end of the spectrum are the
burpers. Plains Spadefoot Toads and Crawfish Frogs give short burps.
Pickerel Frogs resonate more like a snore and can sing from underwater.
Leopard Frogs take the basic burp sound and add chuckles, purrs, grunts,
and squeaks. Proportions of those sounds help you sort between the three
different Leopard Frog species in different parts of the state.
The Houston Chapter of the Audubon Society describes the nightjar family
as medium-sized, long-winged birds with a short bill, short legs, and soft
mottled plumage. Some of these birds, such as the whip-poor-wills and
nighthawks are nocturnal. Common Nighthawks’ calls are a soft, breezy
pzeent. The Chuck Will’s Widow’s call sounds like its name.
Some frog sounds might be described as insect-like,” says Linam. “Fortunately,
many of these frogs actually create a readily distinguishable sound. For
example, the Cricket Frog’s tone is like two marbles being clicked together.
Utterances of the Spotted Chorus Frog are similar to someone rubbing their
fingers over the small teeth of a comb, the Cajun Chorus Frog’s call is like
you’re using the big teeth of the comb, and the New Mexico Spadefoot
resonates like a really big comb. There are also the angry-insect frogs. The
Green Toad imitates an angry bee, while the Great Plains Narrowmouth
produces a higher pitched angry buzz, resembling buzzers people hold in
the palm of their hand.”
Certain frogs and toads have their own unique song. Bullfrogs resemble
someone blowing over the top of a bottle and Green Frogs imitate someone
plucking a loose banjo string. Green Tree Frogs’ calls are somewhat gooselike,
but really sound akin to the alien creatures in the movie, Mars Attacks.
Pigs are imitated by Pig Frogs, squirrels by Squirrel Treefrogs, and dogs by
Barking Frogs.
BIRDS
Birds often contribute to the nightly
concert and the most noted are owls.
According to Texas Parks and Wildlife
(TP&W), the Great Horned Owl is
commonly known as the “hoot owl,”
because of its rhythmic hoots that
speak, “Who’s awake? Me, too”. The
Great Horned Owl is a large bird with
varying shades of gray and large ear
tufts from which the bird derives its
name. It is common statewide except
for Pineywoods. The Barred Owl is
more common in the eastern part of the state — Rio Grande Plains thorn
scrub in South Texas, Post Oak Savannah, Gulf and Blackland Prairies, and
East Texas Pineywoods — although it is distributed statewide. Its call is a
distinctive “Who cooks, who cooks for you all.” The bird is large, stocky and
red-gray without ear tufts.
TP&W describes the Eastern Screech-Owl as a small eared owl, red or gray
colored. Its call is a whistled trill and depending upon the year, it can be
plentiful or scarce throughout the state.
People living or visiting near wetlands, especially along the Texas Gulf
Coast, may hear a nocturnal and noisy heron join the nighttime chorus
with its loud, barking kwok or quawk. This bird is rather stocky and
looks as if it is hunched over with its head usually tucked down into its
shoulders. Its plumage is gray and white with a distinctive black cap and
a pair of white plumes extending up from the back of its head.
INSECTS
Cicadas and crickets, nocturnal insects, get accused of dominating the night
noises. National Geographic reports that there are more than 1,500 species
of cicada and they are physically distinguished by their stout bodies, broad
heads, clear-membrane wings, and large compound eyes. These insects are
probably best known for their buzzing and clicking noises, which can be
amplified by multitudes of insects into an overpowering finale.
“Female crickets produce a tone to attract males by rubbing their forewings
against each other,” says the Center for Insect Science Education Outreach,
The University of Arizona. “A resulting chirping sound is picked up by the
female’s ears on her front legs. Chirps are different enabling each species
to find its own kind.”
A good way to learn how to recognize various night creature calls is to record
what you hear. Assign a number to each recorded sound before matching
it with an identified sound on a commercial tape. The pairing of sounds will
help you enter the creature’s correct name by the corresponding number
on your list. The tapes can be replayed until the calls and their contributors
are committed to memory. Commercial tapes can be purchased at nature
centers, natural science museums, or on the web.
While enjoying nighttime’s orchestra, watch for nocturnal mammals such
as the Virginia Opossum, 9-Banded Armadillo, bats, Southern Flying Squirrel,
raccoon, and the Striped Skunk. These animals often stray into lighted areas
around country homes, but to increase number of sightings, consider using
a pair of night vision googles, binoculars, or scope.
Don’t stay up too late enjoying nature’s sounds and sights, because you want
to be in bed early enough to awake in time to see the beautiful Texas sunrise.

TWA MEMBER PROFILE
It’s impossible to predict where Deborah Clark will be. The first time I
contacted her, she was on an extended trip to London serving temporarily
as her grandchildren’s nanny.
The next time we talked she was recovering from hosting a party for
250 people on the Clay County ranch, near Henrietta, she owns and operates
with her husband, Emry Birdwell. The party took place 48 hours after she
returned from England.
The third time we spoke, she called from their cattle pens where they
were processing a load of stocker cattle. Blood-red fluid was pouring from
the squeeze chute’s hydraulic system and puddling around her feet.
“I screamed. For a minute, I thought we’d literally squeezed the life out
of one of the steers,” she said, laughing at her reaction, as she postponed our
interview. She had to tend the emergency. On a ranch that implements an
intensive rotational grazing program that depends on the animal impact of
up to 5,300 head of cattle at any one time to manage the forage, the chute is
an essential piece of equipment.
When we eventually connected, our interview interrupted a spur-ofthe-moment
planning session with her sister for a quick birthday trip to New
York City to see Beautiful, the critically acclaimed Carole King musical.
“I love Carole King’s music,” she said. “I told Emry, ‘I’m going to New York
for my birthday and, by the way, you don’t get to come.’ Emry said, ‘Have fun.
By the way, I’m never going to New York City.’”
Deborah is a self-described “flower child with plenty of business
experience.” Emry is a lifelong rancher, whose family’s multi-generational
ranching roots stretch from New Mexico throughout the Texas Panhandle
into Palo Pinto County and beyond.
Despite the fact that they their paths crossed in the small town of Palo
Pinto in elementary school and later in high school, where, thanks to the
alphabet, Birdwell sat right in front of Clark, nothing indicated they one day
would marry. He was a cowboy. She was a cheerleader. He went to Texas
Tech to study animal science. She went to SMU to embrace peace, love, bell
bottoms, tie dye and anthropology. Emry returned to his family ranch in Palo
Pinto. Deborah headed to the University of Texas School of Public Health for
her Master’s and then to the hustle and bustle of corporate Houston.
Fate, in the form of a family construction business, put Deborah and
Emry in the same geographical orbit. In the late 80s, Deborah’s parents called
and asked her to return to Mineral Wells and join them in the family business,
C&B Associates. The invitation caught her by surprise.
“Because my sister and I were obviously girls, we had assumed that Dad
wasn’t interested in having us be part of the business, so we never thought
to ask,” she said. “It was a typical family miscommunication. I returned to
Mineral Wells to become my father’s son.”
Her arrival in Mineral Wells got the match-making wheels turning. Her
mother returned from the first of a year-long series of dental procedures with
the news that the “dentist had a friend.” Recently divorced, Deborah wasn’t
interested. At each succeeding dental appointment, her mother returned
home with the same message. Finally, Deborah was bored, so she made her
own dental appointment. Twenty-four hours later, Emry called.
“It was an oil and water first date,” she said. “I was a liberal. He was a
conservative. He had deep roots and was content to stay put. I had traveled

extensively. He is quiet and deliberate. I am not. And yet, here we are
25 years later.”
As the romance heated up, so did the Clark family’s construction
business. As fiber optic cable installers, they had carved out a profitable
niche in the telecom revolution. Their specialty was installing cable in rocky
terrain. Her father helped develop a series of rock saws specific to the task
that gave them a competitive and quality advantage.
Deborah lived in airports and out of suitcases as she criss crossed
the country to oversee construction projects. Emry stayed at home,
ran the ranch and raised their children. They lived “separate checking
account lives” for 15 years. Then, in the mergers and acquisition phase
that characterized the zenith of the dot.com bubble, the Birdwell family’s
construction business was purchased along with eight other mom-and-pop
telecom service providers. The bubble burst. And, within 18 months, the
new owners had put all of the companies they acquired into bankruptcy.
They continued to eke out an existence for the next two years.
“It was the saddest thing in my life,” Deborah said. “I had to let go
employees who had been with my father since the 1950s.” In 2003, Deborah,
who was also dealing with a cancer diagnosis, had enough and left.
“Emry and I looked at each other and said, ‘Wow, we’re like a regular
married couple now,’” said Deborah. They decided to buy a ranch together.
They were casually searching when an off-handed comment to a friend
prompted him to show them the Clay County ranch that would eventually
be their home.
“It was a series of serendipitous events,” she said. “I had a pocket full
of change from selling the business and Emry sold some property he had
inherited. We were banking on his expertise.”
No one expected the adrenaline rush that was to come. Although the
couple made their decision to purchase the property quickly, they caught
wind that someone else was also interested in the land, which was overseen
by a trustee who they didn’t know. The rumor was verified over a weekend.
They decided they would contact the trustee on the following Monday.
That Monday morning Emry spotted a truck bearing the logo of the other
entity that had expressed interest in the ranch. The truck belonged to one
of the nation’s largest homebuilders and it was headed toward Wichita Falls,
the location of the trustee’s office. He called Deborah and said, “Call the
trustee now.”
The trustee told Deborah that he was expecting an offer within the day
and that he would consider whichever offer arrived first. Together, with an
attorney friend and a real estate friend, she quickly cobbled together an offer.
Then, she put on a business suit and swung by and picked up Emry in his
cow-manure flecked work clothes. They sped to the trustee’s office. It was
mid-afternoon.
They were first. The trustee and his attorneys reviewed the
offer, which met all of the demands, and accepted it. The land was
bisected by a road. Initially, Deborah and Emry were planning to
purchase the 8,000-acre tract to the south, which was all they had seen.
Instead, they purchased 22,000 acres with 14,000 acres sight unseen.
“For a minute, it was like being in sixth grade,” she said. “After signing
some paperwork, we very formally asked permission to go see what we had
bought. When we got there we were like giddy school kids because we had
literally bet everything we had on this ranch -- and the north side turned out
to be even better than the south side.” They later sold the 8,000-acre tract.
They closed on January 30, 2004. Deborah expected a slow transition
from one ranch to the other, but woke to find Emry loading his horses, dogs,
saddles and emptying his closet and drawers. As he pulled out of the drive,
he yelled, “Don’t be late to the closing.”
Deborah was standing in the driveway with her primarily Spanishspeaking
housekeeper, who said, “I think you move.” Deborah said, “Yes, I
think we move.” While Deborah had been a rancher’s wife for 15 years, she
had never been involved in the day-to-day operations.
“Frankly, I didn’t know the difference between a steer and heifer,
then,” she said. “I certainly didn’t know the difference between a grass and
forb. I couldn’t wrap my brain around ranching as a business or all of the
moving parts involved in ranching – weather, markets, herd health, forage
management, business relationships...We’ve come a long way baby.”
A lifelong believer in education, Deborah became a workshop
junkie. She eventually grasped the business side of ranching by attending
a Ranching for Profit School. She came to understand the vision and
philosophy of successful ranching using decision-making models that are
advanced by the Holistic Management Institute. She began to appreciate
the natural cycles underpinning ranching through wildlife.
“Emry is the consummate practitioner, but he’s not always a good
communicator,” she said. “Through the wildlife workshops, I attended I came
to understand the synergy between wildlife and livestock. Through that lens,
I began to understand Emry’s goals for the ranch. I began to share his passion
for making this land everything that it could be.”
Prior to moving to Clay County, she had never held a firearm, but once
LandsofTexasMagazine.com

she overcame her “own personal liberal bias against guns,” she became an
avid shotgunner. And when she took to the field with Emry and watched
bird dogs work a covey of wild bobwhites, she became an avid quail hunter,
finding the pursuit rejuvenating. In 2005, she graduated as a member of the
state’s first QuailMaster class. The diploma is one of only four framed “atta
girls” that adorn her office wall.
Her burgeoning interest in wildlife put her directly in the path of a
group of passionate young female conservationists, including Tamara Trail,
Helen Holdsworth and Jenny Sanders, who were educators and advocates
for the Texas Wildlife Association (TWA).
“Those young women served as role models for me,” she said. “I was
in my 50s. They weren’t. I was just discovering an area and a passion that
they had dedicated their lives to. They welcomed me into their world and
encouraged me to be an active, engaged contributor.”
Today, Deborah is the chairperson for the Texas and Southwestern
Cattle Raisers Wildlife Committee. She recently, after a two-year hiatus,
reaccepted the role of State Membership Chairman for the TWA.
When she was discussing, with Emry, the latest opportunity to serve,
she relayed a conversation with TWA’s incoming president, who asked her to
return to the very time-consuming job. Emry, who had suggested she take a
break to spend more time on the ranch, considered what he heard and said,
“Well Debbie, what I think he is saying is that they can use your help.” And the
decision was made.
“Emry is the visionary expert on cattle, grazing, forage production – all
the things we have to consider and manage for our ecological and economic
survival,” Deborah said. “I’m the communicator. I work on what we – and
other people like us – have to consider in order to sustain productive, open
space land and our way of life.
She continued, “He is black and white. I’m color. But we’re partners.”

While Deborah still misses the multi-star
restaurants and really great grocery stores found
in big cities, she wouldn’t trade the life that she
now wears as comfortably as a favorite pair of
jeans. On the day we spoke, she gave me a
glimpse of her early mornings. The following can
only be described as a love letter to the land.
This morning, I was in my office reading the
Psalms, as the sky turned from dark into a brilliant
palette of orange and yellow tinged with pink. I
usually don’t quote chapter and verse because
that’s not my style, but today I revisited Psalm 65,
one of my favorites. Verse 8 jumped off the page,
“You make the gateways of morning and evening
shout for joy.” In the country, I’m part of that joy
every day.
In the past three days on my short trip down to our
pens, I’ve seen three coveys of quail burst from the
grass, evaded a multitude of deer that seem to be
intent on jumping out in front of me, laughed at a
momma raccoon and her babies trundling along,
and spotted coyotes slinking in the background.
This is just a normal part of my days.
Vistas. Sunrises. Sunsets. The natural ebb and
flow of life. Over time, I’ve been blessed by an
increasing intimacy with the land.
Sometimes I declare self-imposed periods of
isolation where I refuse to leave the ranch. I
simply want to breathe. I simply want to be.
I came to this land after a period of difficult
transition. The experience, epitomized by this
ranch, has taught me that bountiful opportunities
and peace often lie on the other side of hard,
trying times.

THE HOSPITALITY SIDE OF A
COMMERCIAL HUNTING RANCH
by Greg Simons and Ruben Cantu
Wildlife Biologists
WILDLIFE CONSULTANTS, INC
Running a commercial hunting operation is equal parts outdoor
adventure and hospitality.
As an outfitter, your clients are essentially living with you and your staff
for the duration of their hunts. You provide them a place to sleep, prepare
their meals, tend their needs, and guide them throughout the course of the
day. The guide and cook often hear their life stories, sometimes serving as
their counselors and confidants.
Occasionally, you have to balance their desire to have a drink or two
with hunting and drinking policies designed with everyone’s safety in mind.
Sometimes your clients may be inept shots or novice woodsmen, and yet, as
the outfitter, you must make them feel as though they are bwana, the great
hunter.
Some of your clients may be diabetic or lactose intolerant, while others
may simply prefer to have their tea hot, as opposed to iced. The chemistry of
personalities is a mystery. Sometimes they go together like salt and pepper,
but other times, it’s more like oil and water. Regardless, the host must keep
the peace and keep it fun.
There is no doubt that the hunting business can be challenging from
a client-service perspective; however, as they say, “The bigger the challenge,
the bigger the opportunity.” Most successful hunting operations embrace
that mindset. Remember, your clients are essentially living with you for several
days, which in itself creates a tremendous opportunity to have an impact on
your clients. Whether the impact is positive or negative is up to you and your
staff. It’s that simple. Recognizing this fundamental truth is Step #1.
Step #2 is communicating with your clients prior to the hunt. A written
pre-hunt planner is a great way to make sure that your clients know what
to expect. It also provides you with a mechanism to identify and make
accommodations for any special needs that your clients may have, whether
it’s dietary restrictions or physical limitations. A pre-hunt planner might
include: a suggested list of items to bring, regulations governing air-travel
with firearms and ammo, normal weather conditions for the hunt area, ranch
rules, and other relevant details.

Here are a few more hunting hospitality tips that are
worth considering:
Step #3 is handling the hunt variables that are under your control with
excellence. You can’t control the weather, the hunters’ abilities or game
movement, so don’t get too mired down by worrying about those. Instead,
become hyper-fixated on preparing the things within your reach. As the host,
you can control the facilities’ cleanliness, the meals’ quality, the equipment’s
condition, and the staff’s friendliness and preparedness, all of which are vital
features of the overall hunting experience. Make sure that everything you
control is top-notch.
Step #4 is training your staff. As with any service business, it’s paramount
that your staff be properly trained so that they are in synch with your tailored
program and in step with one another. Normally, this doesn’t happen by
accident. At a minimum, you should meet with your guides and cooks annually
to review customer service philosophies, standard operational procedures,
and business policies.
Step #5 is managing risk. Unfortunately, we live in a litigious society, and
the hunting business is fraught with risk exposure. It is paramount that you
have a risk management plan in place and that your entire staff is familiar with
the details. Gun safety is the biggie, so make sure that you have standard gunrelated
policies in place and enforce them. You can’t be absolved from gross
negligence, so make sure that any known pre-existing hazards such as gas
leaks, exposed electrical wiring, uncovered wells, faulty deer blind steps, and
any other possible perils that you know of and that you can remedy ahead of
time are taken care of.
A fun entertaining experience can turn into a nightmare in the blink of
an eye, so go to the extra mile to address these matters. If you are going to
engage in commercial hunting activities, vigilance is part of your obligation.
Step #6 is putting a bow on it. As they say, “It’s not over until it’s over,”
and so goes with it with hunting business hospitality. The last impression is
often a lasting one, so be diligent all the way to the end -- and then some. This
includes providing the necessary documentation to accompany the clients’
game whether they take it with them or whether you take it to the taxidermist.
Don’t let fatigue or stress cause your clients’ departures to be anything less
than friendly, warm and positive. Going all the way to the end, might also
include thank you notes, post-hunt photos, or follow-up correspondence,
which can sometimes ensure retention for the next season.
As you plan hunts for your clients, be aware of opportunities for
extraordinary hospitality, but never underestimate the importance of basic
congeniality and fundamental customer service.
As my mentor Dick Laros from Allentown, PA used to tell me, “There’s
no business like the hunting business.” And he was right. If you anticipate the
challenges and recognize the opportunities, though, you can provide your
hunting client with the time of their lives, creating a win-win. This has to be
one of your objectives when you’re in the outdoor hospitality business.
In addition to co-owning The Wildlife Consultants, Greg Simons owns and
operates Wildlife Systems Inc., also based in San Angelo. Currently, WSI offers
commercial hunting on more than 800,000 acres in Texas and New Mexico.
• Your clients’ names are their most prized possessions,
so remember them and use them.
• The most important thing that you and your staff wear
are the smiles on your faces, so wear them early and
often.
• For testy clients, “kill ‘em with kindness.”
• Slacking is obvious….go the extra mile.
• Be at the client’s beck and call….”May I get you some
more iced tea?”
• Treat all game harvests as celebratory moments, even if
the animal “ground shrinks.”
• Don’t wear your negative feelings on your sleeves.
Always be positive and upbeat.
• When times are tough, remember, the sky isn’t falling.
Rarely are things as bad as they may seem.
• Have fun!

YOUR
TWA Protecting
Property Rights
photo by Russell Graves
WHERE IT BEGAN —
Texas Wildlife Association was founded in 1985 to fi g h t efforts in
Austin that would’ve denied Texas landowners the opportunity to
use high fences as wildlife management tools on their properties.
THE FIGHT CONTINUES...
• To reform eminent domain laws so Texas landowners are seated at the decision-making table, ably
protecting their rights, with full access and transparency
• To reaffirm and maintain that groundwater is a vested property right of the landowner
• To convince courts of law that property rights must be honored
• To strengthen border security, and protect Texas landowners’ property and way of life
• To maintain and improve landowner liability protections
• To secure more transparent and predictable process for private landowners involved in navigable
water proceedings and regulatory actions
• To promote and defend the integrity of wildlife, including the importance of keeping wildlife wild
• To promote and defend reasonable use of modern wildlife tools, including fencing, feeding, and
other progressive practices
OUR FIGHT WILL NEVER END!
Texas Wildlife Association serves Texas wildlife and its habitat, while
protecting property rights, hunting heritage, and the conservation
efforts of those who value and steward wildlife resources.

MARKET REPORT
Understanding Texas Land Taxes
For many owners of real estate, property
taxes represent their largest single
property-related expense. Marketvalue
tax levies make no allowances for
inability to pay, assuming that owners have the means to meet their obligations.
That assumption applies to standard income producing properties. However,
landowners achieve much of their return in long-term capital appreciation
available to only defray taxes when they sell their land. When potential
development drives up land prices and recreational buyers compete for scarce
scenic amenities, values outpace the current income stream. Taxation based on
those values exceeds total property income becoming confiscatory. Texas has
twice taken steps to remedy this mismatch by basing taxes on current income
potential with a provision to recapture some of the capital appreciation return.
Landowners harbor many misconceptions about how this works. First, they
refer to “agricultural use or ag use taxation.” But, most often they really mean
“open-space” taxation. Both base taxes on an agricultural use value but there
are major differences between the two. Ag use refers to provisions included in
Article 8, Section 1-d of the Texas Constitution; open-space arises from Section
1-d-1 of that document. However, that extra “-1” makes a big difference. The
1-d provision predates 1-d-1 and specifically targeted farmers and ranchers for
relief from crushing tax burdens. Because it targets true agricultural producers,
the 1-d provision requires both the land and the owner to qualify. In general,
the land must have a history of agricultural use but the owner must also meet
strict requirements. Specifically, agriculture must be the owner’s primary
occupation and source of income meaning that he or she must earn more
income from agriculture than from any other single source. In practice, that
hurdle proved insurmountable for the vast majority of Texas rural landowners.
Few, if any owners actually use the “agricultural use value” 1-d provision.
Because of the stringent qualifications embodied in 1-d, Texans adopted
open-space tax regulations of 1-d-1. Forgoing the focus on occupation, those
provisions aimed to preserve open space land in the Texas countryside by
reducing an owner’s holding cost. The objective became an environmental
goal of preserving open space land and not protection for farmers and ranchers.
That change of focus eliminated the need to fixate on an owner’s income
meaning that only the land must qualify for 1-d-1 treatment. That makes a
big difference.
A transfer of 1-d land to a new owner triggers a rollback of additional taxes
designed to recapture part of the capital gain. Additionally, a 1-d rollback occurs
when an owner changes the agricultural use to a non-qualifying use. For 1-d-1
land, ownership changes do not trigger rollbacks; only changes of use cause
additional taxes. There are further differences in the two rollback provisions
that make the 1-d rollback somewhat less onerous than the 1-d-1 counterpart.
However, owing to the complicated income requirements, owners seldom or
never use Section 1-d, preferring the more readily available 1-d-1. So most Texas
acreage is taxed as open-space land not ag use land.
Both provisions provide substantial tax reductions to their owners. When nonland
owners realize the magnitude of those tax savings, they frequently lobby for
changes to impose higher taxes on landowners. These efforts tend to emerge
when Legislatures encounter over school tax policy confrontations. Landowners
fear that an urban-based Legislature eventually will eliminate open-space taxation
dramatically raising tax burdens for landowners throughout Texas. Further, they
anticipate that the resulting taxes will drive down land values defeating the
original revenue raising goals and destroying landowners’ wealth.
However, both of these provisions reside in the Constitution, so elimination
requires a vote of Texas citizens to amend those measures, a much more
complicated move than passing a bill. Perhaps more threatening, is the language
in 1-d-1 allowing the Legislature to specify how to calculate agricultural value.
Currently, the value is based on the net income land can generate in it’s qualifying
use capitalized at 10 percent. That means that native rangeland netting $4 per
acre after all expenses goes on the tax roll for $40 per acre. Conceivably, the
Legislature could change that capitalization rate to 5 percent without a vote of
the citizenry. Then, the income-based value shoots up to $80 per acre, possibly
doubling an owner’s tax liability.
Texas land taxation faces potential challenges as Texas confronts property tax
policy issues. Landowners should take steps to understand how the system works
now and how possible changes might affect them.

A GIANT
Opportunity
THERE’S NOTHING LIKE IT IN THE WORLD. A PIECE
OF LAND SO BIG, SO STORIED AND SO STEEPED IN
FAMILY LEGACY THAT NO TITLE REPORT OR EVEN
COMPLETE SURVEY EXISTED UNTIL THIS YEAR.
here’s nothing like it in
the world. A piece of land
so big, so storied and so
steeped in family legacy
that no title report or
even a complete survey
existed until this year.
The iconic W.T.
Waggoner Ranch,
America’s largest parcel
of land “under one
fence,” consists of more than 510,000
contiguous acres encompassing an
empire of oil fields, open ranges, fertile
farming and endless miles of grazing
land—all spread across six counties of
Northwest Texas prairie and sweeping
rangeland. Add to that thousands
of cattle, enormous lakes, hundreds
of foundation bred, award-winning
American Quarter Horses and a legend
as big as the ground it covers, and you’ll
know why the W.T. Waggoner Ranch is
considered one of the last remaining
hallmarks of Texas cowboy culture.
Now available for sale on the
international open market, the W.T.
Waggoner Ranch represents a singular
opportunity so rare, we will never see
the availability of such a property again
in our lifetime. In fact, the last time this
property was available for ownership,
Abraham Lincoln was in Congress,
California was petitioning to join the
U.S. as a free state and Oklahoma was
known simply as Indian territory.
Headquartered in Vernon, Texas,
the ranch covers 800 square miles
of hills, vistas and plains, stretching
through counties once roamed by the
Comanches—Archer, Baylor, Knox,
Wichita, Foard and Wilbarger.
Since founder W.T. Waggoner
first laid claim in 1849, the ranch has
had a long and illustrious history as
a cattle ranch with a reputation for
both tradition and innovation. Today,
the property is equally known as
one of America’s best Quarter Horse
operations featuring state-of-theart
training and breeding facilities.

Horse Association.
But what makes this iconic holding so unique is
what lies underfoot. On these expansive contiguous
acres, there is an immense variety of land types on
the ranch. The property offers a reflection of Texas’
vast and complex terrain: level grasslands, gentle
hills and slopes, peaceful wetlands, countered with the harsh,
rocky majesty of its red clay peaks and badlands. The W. T.
Waggoner ranch personifies the wild, wild West.
About 30,000 acres are in cultivated farmland. The remainder of
the ranch supports a mixed variety of native grasses and improved
pastures. In 165 years of family ownership, the ranch has never
been commercially hunted, making it a haven for deer, turkey,
quail and other wildlife.
Also underfoot: oil. The property currently has an estimated
1,000 + producing oil wells on the ranch, with the W.T. Waggoner
Estate operating approximately 150 of these wells and 40
independent operators holding the balance. Some of the wells
drilled in the 1920s are still producing oil today. Approximately
42% of the mineral rights with a pro-rata portion of the executive
leasing rights are expected to convey with the sale.
Over time, Waggoner family descendants and generations of
devoted employees have acted as tremendous stewards of this
land, making substantial improvements that include thousands of
miles of fencing and roads, hundreds of earthen pond dam sites,
waterways and more. Buildings, farm equipment and rolling stock,
livestock (cattle and horses) and considerable other assets and

inventory are included in this offering, as well at the historic W.T.
Waggoner brand.
This turn-key opportunity represents a slice of cowboy culture
and a once-in-a-lifetime venture for an investor with vision and
a love of land seeking a rare opportunity to take this legendary
offering to the next level, perhaps preserving, protecting and
enhancing this icon for another 165 or more years.

approximately one deer per every 14 acres. Even though Dipper Ranch possesses

constructed a deer breeding facility in 2007 to further enhance the development
and quality of their whitetail population. The trophy breeding herd consists of ten
200+ Boone and Crockett-class whitetail bucks and 150 does of superior genetic
quality. The Dipper Ranch has abundant water with 13 lakes and ponds, stocked
with fish, as well as one water well. There are 20,000+ square feet of new facilities,
which include a main house, guest quarters, ranch foreman’s house and a ranch
facilities manager’s house. In addition, a 10,000-square-foot operations hub

shop. Last, there is a 11,250-square-foot equipment storage facility that includes
a ranch office with a game processing and storage room. Owner will convey of

640 acres. With the deer breeding operation this ranch is excellent as a corporate
hunting retreat. No production and no drilling activity on the ranch.

variety of hardwoods including pecan, oak and elm. Much of the ranch has been cleared

back the ranch changes more than 120 feet in elevation. Thickets of brush and cedar have
