The "Golden Triangle" of South Texas
The fabled "Golden Triangle" of South Texas is an area
encompassing La Salle, Dimmit and parts of Zavala, Webb and Maverick
counties. This area has historically produced more Boone and Crockett bucks
on a per acre basis than all other Texas counties combined. The famous "red
sand" that occurs throughout most of the area is the major factor involved
in producing trophy whitetail deer.
Soil, as any range scientist knows, is the single most important aspect of
range management. Factors such as PH, water capacity, particle size and bulk
density determine the plant community on any given ranch. A high water
absorption with a high nutrient content combine to produce a plant community
that has a higher protein percentage than most other areas of the state. The
reason for this is that sandy loams have the capacity to absorb large
amounts of water and experience little runoff.
Whitetail deer need genetics, nutrition, and maturity to reach trophy size.
The record books are full of examples of this combination in the "Golden
Triangle". Invest your money where history has stood the test of time.
Mother Nature is not making any more "red sand". So, make sure you own some
of it before it is all gone.
