Just bought 37 acres in NW Rocksprings about 2 weeks ago. I have been looking on and off for the last 6 years since I left the military but really started looking hard the last 2 yrs. I should have bought then as prices have gone up like crazy since but we still got something of our own. This is quite a bit smaller than most of yall probably have but my daughter and I mainly bow hunt so it will be perfect for us. Hopefully I can get the wife and other 2 daughters out there with us. There is plenty to do just to get ready for this season. Unfortunately I am kinda limited on time since I work a 28day on/14 day off schedule. We have been hunting at my sisters (half sister) moms house for the last 6 yrs in Boerne which was great and greatly appreciated. Just felt we were intruding and the logistics of hunting at their house. She killed her first W.T. buck there, her biggest to date buck and I killed an Axis doe and a Sika off the place. Not bad for a neighborhood of 5-6 acre tracts. It just wasn't the type of hunting I wanted. Love Boerne and the area and being outdoors but to me a hunting trip is being in camp around a fire with friends and family relaxing outdoors. That's how I was raised when my dad and I hunted. I still have relationships with the his buddies and their kids my age after all these years because of the camp time. I looked into hunting leases like we used to hunt but there are to many variables that make finding a good lease worth it to me. Mainly the family being there and being really close with all the other lease members. So we finally decided to pull the trigger and get our own little piece of Texas and Bow Hunting Paradise. We closed around the 7th of June and I set up a 650lb corn feeder and hauled a 30' 2006 Fema Camper out there and got it set up the next couple of days. Cant beat the free working camper from my brother, needs a little work but free and everything works in it. Land does have a grazing lease on it and I just got word that they will start grazing it in the next 30-45 days, so I need to go back out there and fence around the feeder and campsite to keep the cows off our stuff. There is no water or electricity on site so I am running power off the generator and need to set up a rain catch for camper water and another 1-2 for around the feeder. Thanks to a member on here for helping hook me up with the realtor I used. If you get a chance or in need of land in the area look up Russell Prinz and give him a chance. Great guy to work with and very accommodating. Hers a few pictures of the property for now but I will try and keep this thread updated. Just keep in mind my work schedule so it might have long periods without updates. If anyone in the area with info on what protein works well in this area and a good place between Rocksprings and San Antonio to get protein or any other helpful info please feel free to let me know. I have hunted Mountain Home on a buddies ranch a few years ago but mainly my Texas hunting has been Boerne except many years ago 20+ as a kid in Uvalde, Junction and Eldorado.
