We at Comanche Rock Ranch have worked for years to improve our native habitat and wildlife resources. Our long-term goal has been to make the ranch visually as similar as possible to the Texas Hill Country in the 1800's. Our primary emphasis has been on habitat and our Whitetail Deer Management Program but we have also directed a great deal of attention to our Rio Grand Turkey, Morning and Whitening Doves, and Bobwhite Quail populations. In addition we maintain Management Programs for our small breeding herds of Axis Deer, Blackbuck Antelope, and Aoudad Sheep which are long established free ranging wildlife in our ranch area. We also manage the fish stock in our four lakes and over the years have planted over 500 native trees and thousands of pounds of native wildflower and grass seeds.

Whitetail deer numbers in Gillespie County, where the ranch is located, are presently higher than in any other Texas county and thus probably more deer reside here than in any place in the United States. The fact that we are located in an area that has traditionally produced great deer habitat and a plethora of game animals influences the quality of both our low fence hunting (i.e. where you see a lot of game animals) and our high fence hunting (where you will see a lot of better game animals).
