Won Powerball twice??, buy the 2nd biggest ranch in Texas......
.....The Waggoner for $725 Million.

Here's a fairly interesting older story about the ranch and the feuding heirs...looks like the "sell it" side is winning at this time.

Waggoner Ranch

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

More like win the Powerball 4 times. What a spread. John Malone or Ted Turner are probably dreaming about it.

Probably either one could afford it. But it's only 525,000 acres (m/l, not sure of exact figure).

Personally I'm pulling for the guy who wants to keep it in the family, but I have no real info on the current situation.

My bet is that one would have to show some serious financial responsibility to get a showing. Wink

Interesting read. I've hunted the King and vermejo, but nothing as large as the Waggoner w/ a single fence around it !

I'm amazed by Texas ranches. I was at the "South meadow" of the King ranch. 40,000 acres
