In addition many native species such as white tailed deer, rio grande turkey, bobwhite quail, mourning dove, white wing dove, and other small mammals call this ranch home. The strong stand of native vegetation provide great browse for these animals. Large neighbors, low hunting pressure and good quality low fenced perimeter allow free range as well. WATER: The key to any ranch is water. CA$INO ranch is well watered with 3 recently serviced water-wells scattered throughout the ranch. This area of Texas is knows for exceptional groundwater.
