Dove, quail and duck hunting leases for the 2007-2008 season.

The DOUBLE TREE RANCH in Ector County, just south of the Odessa city limits, has approximately 13 sections (square miles) south of Loop 338 and 3.5 sections north of Loop 338, in all approximately 10,500 acres.  The duck hunting is on two lakes on Monahans Draw, north of the loop, which  has year-around water because it gets the processed water from the electric generating plant and the petrochemical complex. This lease is for dove, duck and quail hunting.

The LETTER b RANCH in Crane County lies west of Highway 385, and starts 6 miles south of the Crane city limits. This lease is for dove, duck and quail hunting. There are approximately 35 sections in this lease, approximately 22,400 acres.   The duck hunting is on the Pecos River and is usually great after cold weather pushes the ducks this far south.

The JY RANCH is located in northwest Ector County on the west side of State Highway 181, north of Highway 302.  It contains approximately 22.5 sections of land and is primarily for dove and quail hunting. The lease contains seven windmills and dirt tanks.  There is oil production all over the ranch, so hunters have access everywhere on the lease.

From this site you are able to view maps, pricing information and download lease forms for all of the  ranches.  Instructions are included for completing the leases. If you have any questions please call Lorina McGuire at my office. After repeat hunters have a chance to sign up, leases are first-come first-served.

I have a lease on the SANTA ROSA RANCH in Pecos County which I would like to lease to one or two leasees.  It is about 20 sections, about 12,800 acres, and has some Pecos River frontage.  It borders the Imperial Reservoir, but at present I do not have access to hunt waterfowl on the reservoir.  Historic Santa Rosa Spring impounds some decent water, and with that and the Pecos there is some duck hunting.  For an interesting history and old photographs of the historic Santa Rosa Spring, located on the ranch, see santarosaspring.com.

Finally, as this is written, I am waiting for it to get dry enough to look at a Martin County ranch of about 32 sections.  I plan to limit the quail hunting to people hunting with birddogs, but I need to see it before I make a final decision.  It is mainly rangeland, but is surrounded by cropland.  It remains to be seen how much water is on the place, and whether it might also have sandhill crane as well as quail.  I need to see the place before I decide whether to allow dove hunting.  Dove hunting could be good with the fields around, but they might all be cotton, and dove hunting often brings a trash problem to leases that that makes landowners relectuant to lease for hunting.  Watch this space for more information.
