THE SHATZIE RANCH consists of 196.39 acres which is 8' high game fenced, rolling, tree covered Texas hill country located in McCullough County about 8 miles south of Brady and 18 miles north of Mason on Hwy 87 with approximately 1 mile of frontage on the highway and 1100 feet of San Saba River frontage.  The ranch is home to a variety of game including (approximate numbers) 50 Axis, 15 Black Buck Antelope, 15 European Red Stag, 2 Addax (with an addition on the way), 20 Fallow (chocolate, white and spotted), 15 whitetail and a few rams.  The ranch provides excellent cover for the game with a combination of persimmon, cedar, mesquite and oaks.  There are three earthen water tanks on the property.  Feeders and blinds are in several locations on the ranch.

Fencing on the ranch perimeter consists of steel pipe and T-posts with 8' lock-tite wire.  The fence along the river has been set back from the property line to avoid damage from flood waters.  Water gaps are minimal due to the terrain of the ranch, but the few that are needed are designed the withstand the worst of conditions and retain the game.  There are no cross fences on this ranch, but there are holding pens and a loading chute.
