Dimmit County Questions, Answered
Why is Dimmit County soil important for deer?
The county's red sandy loam grows exceptional forbs and browse — the natural protein that builds antler. That soil, as much as genetics, is why the Carrizo Springs–Catarina corridor became the benchmark for Texas trophy whitetail.
How far is Dimmit County from San Antonio?
Carrizo Springs is roughly two hours from San Antonio via US-57/I-35, making Dimmit one of the most weekend-practical counties in the trophy belt.
Did oil and gas activity hurt Dimmit County ranches?
The Eagle Ford boom left some ranches with pads, roads, and pipeline easements — and others untouched. Surface condition varies property to property, which is why we walk every acre and disclose exactly what's there.
