This is the entrance to the famous YO RANCH in Mountain Home, Texas

Join Luke this week and visit with Debbie Hagebusch, Director of Tourism for the famous Y.O. Ranch in Texas  (www.yoranchheadquarters.com) . 

The Y.O. Ranch was established in 1880 by Charles Schreiner and encompassed over one-half million acres. The Y.O. introduced exotic animals for hunting back around 1950 and now and Texas is "the" destination for hunting animals such as Axis and Fallow deer, blackbuck antelope and a host of other animals. 

The Y.O. now offers excellent hunting but also a great deal more, including tours, fine dining and even an RV park. Check out the website (www.yoranchheadquarters.com) for planning a summer vacation or hunting trip. 

As KETR Operations Manager, Kevin Jefferies is responsible for making sure you hear what you’re supposed to be hearing on FM 88.9 and ketr.org.
