About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedKendall County anchors the northeastern Hill Country with classic Edwards Plateau terrain of cedar-covered limestone ridges, live oak savannahs, and the spring-fed Guadalupe River corridor north of Boerne and San Antonio. White-tailed deer densities rank among the highest in Texas, supplemented by thriving populations of axis deer and other non-native species managed on high-fence ranches throughout the county. The combination of native whitetail, Rio Grande turkey, and abundant exotics makes Kendall a destination for hunters seeking diverse quarry within easy reach of a major city.
Rugged limestone karst hills blanketed in Ashe juniper and live oak, with fertile valleys along the Guadalupe River and Cibolo Creek. Karst topography features numerous springs, caves, and rocky draws characteristic of the Edwards Plateau.
Moderate to high - popularity of Hill Country hunting and proximity to San Antonio drive strong demand. Outfitter operations cater heavily to out-of-state hunters seeking a fully managed experience.
OTC tags with Hill Country bag limits. Many operations run under Managed Lands Deer permits allowing extended seasons and additional antlerless tags on qualifying properties.
Axis deer are extremely common and legally huntable as exotics year-round with no bag limit. Fallow, sika, blackbuck antelope, and numerous other exotics appear on managed ranches. Rio Grande turkey roost in the river bottom pecans and cypress corridors.
One of the premier exotic hunting destinations in Texas alongside native whitetail. The Guadalupe River corridor provides exceptional turkey hunting in the pecan and cypress bottoms during spring season.
