It depends on the size of the property. If I could have a lot of land, I'd pick south. But with a little land, I'd pick the hill country west of San Antonio. And it really is a close tie between those two. I value the abundance and diversity of game animals, not the size. It may sound corny, but I love to hunt the land, and what the land provides. So often times, I look at the land and what it holds, rather than the quality of one animal that resides there. Deer, hogs, turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, dove, to name just a few are what I look for. Love hunting javis... but the hill country has axis...
I love hunting the area around San Angelo ......have been hunting the area for over 40 years. I can tell you that harvesting larger deer depends on a combination of great genetics, great management by the land owner and all of the area hunters, and good nutrition off of natural browse, as well as added supplemental feeding. I have been lucky to have hunted with some very good management minded hunters ,land owners, etc.....many of them on TBH.
That being said.... I would like to try the panhandle and South Texas as well as some other pockets in the state where I have never hunted. I just love to hunt big deer, but would have a hard time switching totally to another area.
