For the first time in about 75 years, the Continental Ranch in Webb County, Texas is being made available for a new owner.  Webb County evokes thoughts of wild, wide open spaces, huge native white-tails, bobwhites and blue quail, red hot tank shoots, mesquite-covered prairie, rich and diverse browse, and native American artifacts.  The Continental Ranch checks all of those boxes in spades.  This predominantly low-fenced ranch possesses all of the prerequisites for growing trophy native white-tailed deer, along with the romance of the increasingly rare opportunity to hunt a wild, large acreage where you never know what you might see on any given hunt, all combined with a convenient location, big neighbors and excellent access. LOCATION Situated in eastern Webb County, with access along U.S. Highway 59, it is easy traveling getting to and from the ranch. Freer, home of the famous Muy Grande deer contest, has your basic groceries and supplies and is only +/-20 miles away. Laredo and the Laredo International Airport are a convenient +/-35 miles from the gate. The approximate distances to other metros are Corpus Christi 80 miles to the east, San Antonio 130 miles north, and Houston 270 miles up Highway 59. TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT The ranch has lightly rolling country that falls off from south to north with the ranch’s elevation ranging from +/-520’ down to +/-410’. Wet-weather Black and Mesquitoso Creeks traverse the ranch, eventually joining each other in the north central portion of the ranch. These creeks provide additional relief and habitat beneficial to the wildlife. Ranch soils are predominantly clay and gravely clay, with +/-30% lighter sandy clay loam and sandy soils. Grasses are a mix of native species, including various bunch grasses along with the perennial buffel grass common in the area. The brush is typical of the high-quality deer browse Webb County is known for and includes guajillo, blackbrush, brasil, guayacan, lime prickly ash, kidney wood along with plenty of mesquite, pear, and tasajillo. The ranch features numerous strips in various stages of regrowth. Often mistaken for a live oak, the native coma tree (a preferred browse species) can be found scattered across the ranch with both individuals and small stands present. WILDLILFE Under MLDP game management and located in an area known for growing large, native, Texas white-tailed deer, the Continental is a fair-chase, trophy deer hunting opportunity. Properties of this size that are predominantly low-fenced do not commonly make it to the public market. Approximately 80% of the ranch’s 20 mile perimeter fencing is low-fenced, with thousands of low-fenced adjoining acres. Bobwhite and blue quail, hogs, javelina, dove, and varmints round out the primary hunting opportunities on the ranch. AGRICULTURE This is a working ranch, cross-fenced into six pastures that are watered by numerous tanks, and features a set of working pens on the north end of the ranch and a set on the south end. Perimeter fencing ranges from excellent to fair condition. The Continental’s deer herd is managed under the Managed Lands…
