EL  POTRILLO  RANCH

McMullen Co., Texas

            This 3000 ac. ranch is located approximately 7 miles north of Tilden, in McMullen County, and about 70 miles south of San Antonio on State Highway 16 in the heart of the South Texas Brush Country.  The native South Texas brush makes this a haven for Whitetail deer, Javelina, Feral hogs, quail, dove, and varmints.  The ranch is divided into 6 pastures and has 8 ponds.  Cattle are run on the ranch, but no sheep or goats.  The ranch comes with 14 rifle blinds, 9 feeders, 2 bow blinds, and 3 tripods already set up and can be used by the season deer hunters. There are numerous roads and senderos across the ranch

            The rustic but roomy hunting camp comes with hot and cold running water, a bathroom with a shower, window A/Cs,  large covered patio with picnic tables, a rock fire ring, and a jeep shed.  It comfortably sleeps 15 hunters in bunk beds, but could sleep 18.  To help handle your game there is a lighted game pole, small game cleaning station, and a walk-in-cooler. The kitchen has a cook stove, two refrigerators, coffee pots, microwave, toaster oven, pots and pans, and lots of counter top space.  The camp area has a rifle range and clay shooting area.  Two electrical hook ups for travel trailers have been installed.  I suggest that you bring bottled water for cooking and drinking.  The ranch water comes from a water well located a mile from camp and must be pumped to storage at the camp.             

Terms:  $45,000.00 for a season lease, beginning October 1 though the end of the general deer season, year round access by appointment.  A maximum of 10 hunters with guest privileges.  A limit of 10 mature bucks, 10 spikes, and 10 does.  All the hogs that you want to take with bow or rifle, but no traps.  Three payments available upon request.  Option to renew year to year.

            I will book dove hunts in September and doe, hog, quail, and spring turkey hunts after the general deer season.  I will need to use all blinds and feeders and would keep corn in them from Jan 20 - April 1.  I will be using the camp facilities during this time.
