Description

The diversity of habitats and unique vegetation types on the HFF lease in South Texas creates an environment that accommodates a variety of upland game bird species. The ranch is home to Bobwhite Quail, Rio Grande Turkeys, Mourning Doves, occasional White-winged Doves, and Chachalacas. Some consider bobwhite quail as the crown jewel of south Texas upland game birds. Found throughout the region, these denizens of the brush have adapted well to a harsh environment that is frequent with droughts, predators, and in some case less desirable habitat accommodations. The mourning dove is the most important game bird in the United States and Texas in terms of numbers of birds harvested and man-days of recreation provided. Each year approximately 250,000 Texas dove hunters harvest 5,000,000 mourning dove.
