Birds of the Hill Country

One of the most captivating sights for nature enthusiasts at Schmidt Double T Ranches is the impressive array of bird species. While our guided quail hunts are a major draw, birdwatchers will be delighted by the diverse avian life. Red-tailed hawks, great horned owls, northern cardinals, and wild turkeys roam freely, providing ample opportunities for observation and photography.

Native Mammals and More

While the ranch is known for its Whitetail Deer hunts, these majestic animals are just one part of the larger ecosystem. The Hill Country is also home to armadillos, raccoons, bobcats, and jackrabbits, which can be spotted during early morning or twilight walks. These creatures provide a glimpse into the rhythm of life that permeates the land. Foxes and coyotes are common as well, their elusive nature adding a touch of mystery to the landscape.

Flora That Thrives

The flora of the Hill Country is as captivating as its fauna. Visitors can explore a landscape dotted with Texas bluebonnets, Indian paintbrushes, and Mexican hats during the spring and summer months. These wildflowers not only create a stunning visual backdrop but also support local pollinators like bees and butterflies, essential contributors to the region’s ecosystem.
