I may have a chance to get on a small lease between Lockhart and Seguin, and I am wondering if anyone has experience hunting in that area? How are the deer numbers, and how do the bucks compare to other parts of the state?

Ahh yes, Caldwell County, where poaching immature trashy bucks is an art form. Seriously.
If the place has low pressure(not likely unless it's very remote), good food and cover, you will have a chance at taking a book deer or at least see one on camera every few years.
Hope you get it and send pictures.

I've got a bunch more pics of some very nice bucks as well. The one bow kill was opening morning last year, before the sun had even risen. And, the night shot---I killed a 139" 9-pt there about 5 years ago. The wide one looking away from the camera---couldn't get permission to hunt him--that was on one of my hog hunting spots, but the neighbor's grandkid killed him--158"
Generally, the better bucks are shot across the road by gun hunters as I seldom see them during bow season.

I'm not as familiar with the area you're talking but south of Lockhart north of I-10 I am.
I occasionally hunt a property around Stairtown when not at my ranch.
The problem with the area is a lot of pressure. If you can't afford a lease in South Texas or the hill country you end up in the Luling area. Not you specifically but that tends to be true. Thus too much pressure. If you can get a spot that is way off the road and has large properties around it that practice good management you'd be in heaven.
