The Diamond L is one of the few “has it all” truly turn-key hunting and recreation ranches.

Over the past eight years, there have been 3 releases of improved native genetic whitetail bucks and doe, with the most recent being a release of 10 doe and 6 bucks. The ranch is highly populated with whitetail, and the current MLDP program calls for harvesting of 48 bucks and 30 doe. There is also a small herd of trophy axis sporting 36” horn and the #8 axis deer in the US was taken here. The variety of wildlife includes whitetail deer, axis, fallow, elk, aoudad, oryx, blackbuck, gemsbok, zebra, javelina and bobcat. The MLDP qualification allows for an extended hunting season for the whitetail, and many of the other species offer year round hunting. In addition, the ranch is home to a flock of over 100 turkeys, many coveys of quail and dove hunting is an added attraction.
