There are several large food plots and an expansive garden of native flora.

Seco Creek Ranch has three well-maintained lakes of over an acre in size and three ponds producing large bass, catfish, and perch. Several wet weather creeks traverse the ranch including Seco Creek and Little Seco Creek. The Edwards well pipes water to a large earthen reservoir where it then flows by gravity through underground pipes to all the lakes, ponds and water troughs. There are two irrigated 100 acre coastal fields with Valley pivots.

Careful attention to wildlife preservation on this high fenced ranch has created an unparalleled wildlife sanctuary affording nesting and wintering habitat for birds rarely found away from a river. Buntings, Warblers, Orioles, Green Kingfisher, Sandhill Crane, and Tanagers are noted here seasonally. Many species of woodpeckers, vireos, wrens, swallows, sparrows, hawks, owls, and other varieties are seen throughout the year. There are resident swans that nest and live on the lakes of the ranch. Native wildlife and game include whitetail deer, axis deer, blackbuck, dove, quail, and flocks of turkey. Whitetail deer of improved genetics have been released on the ranch and a list of releases is available upon request. The ranch features five hunting blinds, ten corn feeders and fifteen protein feeders scattered throughout the ranch. There are two deer breeding pens on the ranch. A sunflower field attracts countless doves, making for an unbelievable bird hunting season.
