Hunting Keeps Land Wild

Hunting allows the Wild to Stay Wild
There’s a cold, hard truth landowners across America know too well: if the land doesn’t pay, it gets paved.
Hunting income gives ranches like B-Tex the ability to maintain thousands of acres of natural habitat. Without that revenue, many would be forced to sell off to developers, plant monoculture crops, or graze it to dust. Subdivisions don’t support wildlife. Shopping centers don’t protect native grasslands.
But when people are willing to pay for a chance at a mature whitetail or an exotic bull, that land stays wild. Trees stay up. Water stays clean. Animals keep living there—generation after generation.
Hunting is the economic engine that keeps conservation viable on private lands. Without it, the landscape changes forever—and not for the better.
