Powderhorn Ranch video

[GoBears870]

Parks and Wildlife TV did a segment on the Powderhorn Ranch last week. It is going to be an incredible resource once it's ready as a state park and WMA in a few years. I had the chance to visit it last September (I'm in the video for 2 seconds fly fishing near the beginning) and it was an incredible experience.

It will be an awesome place some day.

I hunted on Matagorda island last fall and the biologist said he hopes to start running management Hunts in the fall of 18. He said it wasn't very well managed for deer and has a lot of trash that needs to go.

He have anything to say about the exotics that are there?

There are axis and sambar deer, which are huge. As of a few months ago they didn't have a set in stone plan but were leaning towards public hunters culling them during deer hunts. It would be too expensive to round them up and sell them. The whole aim of the WMA is to return the entire ecosystem to its natural state.

That's what I was curious about.

They did a few months ago have a group of hunters out there. Not sure who, or what they were hunting though.

Carter smith is a great guy, Texas is lucky to have him

Nice place, but I would have liked to see that $14 million go to helping improve other existing parks and their infrastructure. Powder horn is a swamp most of the time...

The thing I like about it most is it will open up a section of shoreline that will enable people in plastic boats to paddle some water that boats don't run all over. Maybe it will take most of the kayaks out of the ICW. It always scares me watching a SCB running down the ICW and look out and see people paddling across.

great fishing along that shore line.
