EP:390 | History of the King Ranch with Tio Kleberg
This week we are joined by Mr. Tio Kleberg and hear about the history of the legendary King Ranch in South Texas. We learn about how it was acquired and assembled to the over 825,000 acres today, and that it is actually larger than the state of Rhode Island. We also learn about all the wildlife that abounds, and how through visionary management that was occurring before anyone else was thinking about managing wildlife assets, the King Ranch was actually leading the way. We also learn about the Kleberg Wildlife Foundation and its research. It’s truly a fascinating discussion that anyone who loves wildlife and land management will appreciate. Its chock-full of surprises — like the origins of duck stamps, hiring the first private biologists, consistently killing 160 typical bucks and for releasing Nilgai.
Listen, Learn and Enjoy.
