Just got a new place in Fredericksburg. Haven't hunted this area of the Hill Country in a while so want to see what people think. We are west of 87 near Pecan Creek Rd. Place is almost 900 acres, we hunt on about 700 of it, with 4 people on the lease. Wondering what to expect on quality and what if any exotics people are seeing around that area. I know we have Blackbuck, but the owner seems to think axis are not really in that area, I dunno. Anyway, let me know what you think about the area and post of some pictures if you will.

I've hunted close to there in Stonewall and Harper and neither lease had exotics. If you killed a 130" deer you did something. That was 6-7 years ago. Tons of deer though. But I think every place is different.Last edited by panhandlehunter; 03-02-2017, 07:47 PM.

I hunt in Fred. Just off 290 and Luckenbach Rd. We see tons of whitetail but no really big bucks. I have killed an axis buck with my bow the last 2 years and have seen more than I can count. It's just rare that they come into bow range on our place. I doubt you will get bored hunting up there.

The exotics roam quite a large area; some years we have them, others not so much. The WT are numerous, not huge in size. The number of hunters in the FBG area have definitely increased over the years. My family has hunted in Gillespie County for nearly 70 years and have seen the progression of WT over the years. Things have and continue to change every year. It's a great place to be able to hunt and enjoy the hill country. Best of luck to you.
