Notes From the Pen

The Eslabon Ranch Pro Staffers did real well on Rio Grande Turkeys this season.

The Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA), which has never taken a position against our industry in the past, has came at us with both barrels blazing. QDMA is a small organization which was founded on the basis of managing your property and wild deer herd to grow bigger bucks. If you dig a little deeper into their history you will see they are more about “selling you foodplot seed and outdoor products” to make them money than about caring for the deer.

Hunting in Texas.

Here is a link to CBS news 60 Minutes piece on big game hunting in Texas. For a liberal news network it made us look pretty good. Sorry about the commercials I couldn’t edit them out. Enjoy!

Big Cat Down!

Another fawn killer is gone. Ranch Manager James Saunders has cleaned out over 60 coyotes and more than a dozen bobcats which really helped this years fawn crop. Which is estimated at over 60%, not bad in a dry year!

Gladiator on Steroids!

We have over a dozen does out of Gladiator and there are a ton of really good sons out of him, we have some. There is an up and coming son that has, we believe, the strongest Gladiator enhanced genetics out there. I don’t own him, I wish, but Eslabon Ranch and some of the smartest breeders in Texas are going to use him. They call him Overdrive. His mom was Maxbo 727s mom and she has some of the best breeding in Texas. She is a proven producer. The only 2 sons she has produced are huge. I haven’t had the chance to see any of Overdrive’s sons, the oldest can’t be older than 2. Check his pedigree on DNA Solutions #36165. I don’t make a dime off him just passing on a little good info.

Here Kitty Kitty!

Ranch friend Gene Naquin had a very exciting night last night. He had this 90 lb cat cornered between two high fences coming straight towards him. He knocked him down in one shot. Congratulations Gene we are all very envious!
