Exotic game from all over  the world can be found in the beautiful Texas Hill Country.  Originally started by the famous YO Ranch, exotic game hunting has become a big part of Texas Hill Country life. 

All kinds of sheep, deer, goats, birds, and swine, that were not native to this area, can now be found all over the Hill Country. Pictured above is a Hybrid Sheep with blood lines that include several native and several exotic species.

A couple of hundred years ago Native American Indians used trees to mark trails and clean water sources. On a ranch that we just listed in West Kerr County, we found the best example of a marker tree that I have ever seen. And true to the legend, there was a pristine, clear water spring, close by.

This is a Pecan tree that the Indians bent over as a sapling. By burning the tree at the bend they were able to make it hold its shape. It is pointing directly toward the spring.

The rains finally returned to the Texas Hill Country. On the heals of the strongest drought in history, we have received the rains that everyone was praying for.  As much as 10 to 12 inches have fallen over the past three weeks and it looks like the drought is over.  And it couldn’t have come at a better time.  Getting rain in the late summer will keep these springs flowing all the way through the winter; it ought to be beautiful. 

 We still have a couple months of growing season, so browse and cover should be great for hunting season.  The deer (especially the mature bucks) will not be as likely to frequent your feeders, but look for them to graze the pastures in the evening and early morning. 

 The Texas Hill Country really comes alive this time of year, and with these rains it is prettier than ever.  I can’t wait to get out as the weather begins to change and the trees put on their fall colors.  What a great time to be looking at property.
