W.T. Martin Ranch to be Used for Quail Research

W. T. Martin Ranch at Intersection of US 180 and FM 611, Fisher County, Texas
W.T. Martin's place is now officially the Rolling Plains Quail Research Ranch, continuing a long tradition of conservation.


A Board of Directors has been named for the RPQRR. Dr. Dale Rollins, professor and extension wildlife specialist for the Texas Agricultual Extension Service in San Angelo, has been asked to serve as director and to oversee management. Rick Snipes, owner of the Snipes Ranch in Aspermont, will serve as Chairman.


There will also be an advisory committee, of which Paul Melton, owner of the Melton Ranch in Roby, will be chairman.


An open house for the public has been planned for May 11. See ya there!

  1. The W.T. Martin Ranch. That brings back a lot of memories. It started 6 or 7 miles, I think, from the old Hargrove farm, where Becky, Raford, and I were raised. I remember W.T. Martin as a fine man with a reputation as a fine rancher. I knew him mostly through Joe Dismore, another rancher/farmer who was a close friend of both Martin and our father, Tom Hargrove.

    I can't believe there is a "Hobbs Blog." Congratulations. But I can't figure out who the blogger is. The link to the person who runs this doesn't work...or maybe I'm doing it wrong.

    Who are you?

    Tom Hargrove
