Stowers Ranch
Stowers Ranch is a cattle ranch in Kerr County, Texas, in the Texas Hill Country. Founded by G.A. Stowers in 1904 as a cattle ranch, game management area and hunting preserve, it is now owned and operated by Stowers' grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The ranch provides outdoor recreation opportunities throughout the year, including hunting for whitetail deer, exotic bucks and wild turkey, as well as birdwatching, game viewing, nature photography, and hiking. The ranch is located at the headwaters of the north fork of the Guadalupe River, approximately west of Hunt, Texas. On its north side it is adjacent to the Kerr Wildlife Management Area.
==Wildlife==
A deer-proof perimeter fence, in place for close to 100 years, and advanced pasture, cattle, and wildlife management practices have led to the development of a whitetail deer population and a broad diversity of plant and animal life. Axis, sika and fallow deer are also seen in strong numbers, as are blackbuck antelope and aoudad sheep. Bird watchers report seeing many varieties of sought-after birds, including the blackcap vireo, the golden-cheeked warbler, blue herons, and both bald and golden eagles. A sanctuary for the blackcap vireo is now established along one of the northern edges of the property.
Native life is not limited to the animal kingdom. Under good conditions, stands of perennial prairie grasses such as cane bluestem, little bluestem, big bluestem, sideoats grama, hairy gramma, curly mesquite, buffalograss, fall witchgrass, plains lovegrass, wildrye, Texas wintergrass, and Indiangrass blanket the rolling countryside. In the spring there is usually a profusion of wildflowers, including the famous Texas bluebonnet and cactus blossoms. Other wildflowers bloom throughout the year.
