As a Texas resident, I can tell you that you would be wasting your time trying to hunt any public land.

I live in the most prolific deer area of the state: the Edwards plateau. Lots of deer, and depending on the place, lots of exotics. You may want to call the Chamber of Commerce of some of the towns in this area (Kerrville, Fredricksburg, Junction, Sonora, Mason, Llano, to name a few) They usually keep a hunting registry.

I have a business associate that has 3 different ranches. He runs a 3 day outfitted hunt. I believe you can take 1 whitetail buck, 2 does and some hogs. No B&C whitetails, but his hunters usually are 100% on bucks with 8-10 points in the 16-18" range. He does a 3 day hunt for I believe $1200. His hunters stay in a hotel at their expense. Don' t know how meals work. Seems like he also told me that if you don' t kill a buck, you only pay the guide fee (around $250). Although he does not have a game farm and all animals are wild and freeranging, I can' t remember the last time he told me that someone did not get a buck.

If interested, email me privately and I will give you his name and number.

Good hunting
