10 Point Turtle Ranch

Our year round feeders attract whitetail deer, javelina, hogs, raccoons, coyotes, bobcats, armadillos, rodents and snakes. Our catch and release pond fish include catfish, smallmouth bass, alligator gar, perch and carp. The pond is a breeding area for red-eared slider turtles and a variety of non-venomous water snakes. For bird watchers, the predominant species are roadrunners, dove, quail and blackbirds. The pond attracts cranes, a variety of ducks and other birds. The camping area supports a large cardinal population, woodpeckers and a wide variety of songbirds. The region also hosts green jays, hawks, owls and bald eagles. The property is vegetated with mesquite trees, prickly pear cactus and other treacherous plants. All activities here-- including pond swimming-- are primitive, and risks are assumed by the adventurer. BBQ areas are provided, with mesquite wood. All fires must be in approved areas. The Kickapoo Casino, the largest casino in Texas, is only 20 minutes away, as is the Port of Entry to Piedras Negras, one of the safest border towns in Mexico.
