On the morning of June 11, 2007 we were able to award 19 exclusive hunt packages to many different church groups of
varying denominations from all over the country. Over 250 men will be able to participate in these hunts at no cost to themselves. Our next round of hunts
will be awarded at 9 AM on June 9, 2008. Until our new ranch is established for this exclusive purpose, we are limited in our charitable efforts. To be awarded a
group hunt, you must be one of the first to call, as we gave away all 19 hunts in less than 30 minutes. Put this important date on your calendar to call!
Please make your generous donation today, so we can expedite our new ranch and facilities, as we will be offering thousands of these hunts on a no-cost basis to non-profit groups.

In staying in tune with
our founding Mission Statement which states in part,
""...our Ranch will also provide a no-cost hunting experience for Church groups, Boy Scouts,
terminal patients, and other non-profit and charitable organizations at our Ranch in South Texas...", we will soon establish a 501(c)3 charitable
organization, exclusively for the purpose of better fulfilling this part of our Mission Statement. Involved, will be the procurement of new ranch land,
the construction of new facilities such as bunkhouses and lodges, a commercial kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining areas, meeting and game rooms, roads
and fences, a large outdoor obstacle course which will be over land and water, an amphitheater, and bathhouses.
This new facility will be fully staffed year-round, and will operate on a no-cost basis to the above
mentioned organizations and individuals. This is a $5,000,000 project, and your generous gift will help make this dream come true,
which will benefit many for years to come.

this year. In the last several months,our hunting opportunities have
once again expanded, and now include hunts in Georgia, Kansas, and

over 200 individuals involved in our different operations.

This has been an exceptional year for our family and ranches.
It has been our privilege to donate over 100 hunts to different charities, Church groups, and fellow hunters.
One Hospice patient called the Ranch and requested a place to take one last hunt. It was a most humbling
experience to be able to donate such a hunt, and one of the greatest honors ever bestowed on our family.
Though completely weak in body, Mark had one of the strongest spirits to do one more time, what he had enjoyed
since his earliest days. Mark and his wife Barbara celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary with us on November
24, 2006, before his passing 5 days later. Our entire family was able to spend time
with Mark and Barbara, and consider this our greatest gift of the year.
Our continued prayers are with Barbara and family. Our Lord is good in life and in death.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

With our wild hog population exploding, we have started offering our summer hunts for only $1. This hunting special has been a big success, and has brought hunters to the ranch that would have otherwise waited until the winter. As a result, we are able to better control our wild hog population, and at the same time, offer our hunters an exceptional value on a world-class hog hunt.

This fall brings several sightings of different cats on our ranches. Just in the last few weeks, our hunters and guides have reported multiple sightings of Mountain Lion, Bobcat, and Black Panther. Because of our large population of sheep and wild hogs, we believe that we have attracted these cats to our ranch, and they are not leaving, due to the ready and constant food source.
