HISTORY of the Priour Ranch.

Founded in 1960 and covers 5,000 acres of prime habitat for Wildlife. In the 1960's, J.W. Priour, Jr. and his brother, H.Dale Priour, expanded the 100 year old family ranch by purchasing a contiguous ranch. They had a dream of wildlife conservation to begin a trophy hunting ranch not only with native game, but with animals from all over the world.

They not only wanted a variety of game animals, but they wanted to acquire and raise the best. The two brothers worked extremely hard to game fence the perimeter of the ranch and then started purchasing and catching the very best animals they could find.

​

After J.W.'s death, Dale Priour  worked hard to continue the dream. He was successful in improving the native whitetail as well as improving bloodlines to raise some of the finest Dybowski Sika, Trophy Red Stag, SCI certified herd of Afghan Urial plus endangered species which now roam the ranch. The Priour Ranch , from it's inception, has produced many trophy animals which is substantiated in many record books.

​It is now the desire of the sons and daughters of the two brothers to continue the successful dream. The Priour ranch consist of  areas densely covered with shin oak, other areas less dense with live oak trees and scattered open flats. Producing the prime habitat for numerous species of the world

The Legacy lives on
