About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedComal County sits at the heart of the Texas Hill Country north of San Antonio, where limestone escarpments, live oak savannahs, and the crystal-clear Guadalupe and Comal Rivers frame some of the most iconic white-tailed deer habitat in the state. Deer densities are among the highest in the Hill Country, and the proximity to San Antonio and New Braunfels means this is some of the most sought-after and heavily leased hunting real estate in Texas. Rio Grande turkey are widespread in the cedar and oak terrain, and exotic species from nearby high-fenced ranches are commonly encountered.
Classic Edwards Plateau limestone hills and canyon country with live oak, Ashe juniper (cedar), and Texas persimmon on the uplands. The Guadalupe and Comal Rivers flow through spectacular canyon terrain. Canyon Lake occupies a major portion of the Guadalupe River corridor.
High — among the highest in the Hill Country due to proximity to the San Antonio and New Braunfels metropolitan corridor and the premium perceived quality of the hunting.
MLD (Managed Lands Deer) permits are common on larger ranches, allowing additional antlerless tags beyond the standard license. Standard TPWD license applies on non-MLD tracts. No antler restrictions in this Edwards Plateau county.
