Jay was born, raised and currently lives in Laredo, Texas, where his family has resided since the 1860s. He has earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a two-year wildlife management degree and is fluent in Spanish. He is a wildlife enthusiast with over two decades of field experience in Texas wildlife management, habitat management, wildlife breeding, game capture, and hunting operations. Jay is a trusted consultant to new and longtime landowners and managers statewide. Growing up he always knew land and wildlife were to be the career path he was to pursue, so he volunteered at ranches near his home in southern Texas to learn the craft of the land and wildlife management alongside private land biologists. Fascinated by Africa with its diverse wildlife, Jay’s adventurous spirit first led him to the African continent in the year of 1999. Since that first season, he has been traveling to various African countries every year since. His years of international experience often give him an edge on the norm and a view from outside the box. Jay greatly believes in giving back to his community and sits on various boards and committees including but not limited to Dallas Safari Club- South Texas, Trinity Oaks Foundation, International Professional Hunters Association and the Laredo Chamber of Commerce’s Cola Blanca Contest.

La Esperanza Ranch is the perfect low-maintenance gentlemen’s ranch highlighted by hard to obtain features and amenities all in one package.

Large grassland pastures have been engineered for both the cattleman and upland bird hunter, yet the brush is perfectly diverse for whitetail deer habitat. The ranch has multiple quality executive hunting blinds to accommodate multiple hunters comfortably. Each blind location has a feeder in place which feeds year-round for the utilization of the whitetail deer, javelina, and wild hog populations. Through the years, the property has been lightly grazed and enjoys an agricultural tax exemption. The estimated animal units per acre are one to 25± acres. The ranch lends itself to either building a permanent residence away from the city lights or a short commute to and from Laredo for a quick morning/afternoon hunt. Should a buyer be interested in the property and location but less acreage, the Seller is willing to divide the property and finance it.
