Sign in to contribute

Real County sits deep in the Edwards Plateau Hill Country along the spring-fed Frio River drainage, where limestone canyon walls, cedar-oak woodlands, and exceptional deer genetics have made it one of the most respected whitetail destinations in Texas. The rugged terrain also supports strong wild turkey populations and a growing presence of axis deer on private ranches. Hunting pressure is significant given the reputation of this county, but the quality of animals consistently justifies the investment.
