Our Wildlife Philosophy


Mother Nature provides a surplus of animals to compensate for death losses in a species. In populations where management does not occur, animal numbers will soon build to levels exceeding range carrying capacity resulting in habitat abuse, starvation, and death. A regulated harvest helps assure that there is plenty of food for the number of animals present on the range. Balancing deer numbers with the amount of forage available insures maximum body and antler growth in order for more animals to reach their genetic potential.

Texas government habitat management techniques such as axe, cow, plow, and fire, do little good when deer numbers exceed the available food supply. For Texas range lands to respond to these various management practices, deer must be harvested and maintained at or below the carrying capacity of the land. A balanced harvest also emphasizes the harvest of antlerless (female) deer. Natural predators as well as hunters play a role in keep deer populations at or below carrying capacity of the land.

At The JL Bar Ranch, we have a passion for wildlife and our land. Much of our property remains a pristine wildlife habitat that includes thirteen thousand rolling acres of oak trees and wild grasses, extensive bird species, cattle, and numerous types of native and exotic animals. As entrusted stewards of the land, we feel we have an obligation to manage the ranch to be productive while conserving and nurturing vital habitat for wild game – orchestrating a harmonious balance between wild game and domestic livestock on the property.
