Scooter Report post Posted August 13, 2013 Is Big Bend State Park OTC or draw? Draw only as far as I know- check the TPWD website for sure... Aoudad are an exotic so there's no tag required. Just a license. I think you have to draw a Big Bend Javelina tag or a Mule deer tag and you get to hunt Aoudad while there. I always wanted to go, but never could get it together... That area is absolutely gorgeous for camping though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jbeee Report post Posted August 14, 2013 I am a native Texan and I'm proud to call San Antonio home (hour south of Austin) even though I reside here in Phoenix now. Like most have said, leasing a private place is about the only way to go when it comes to hunting, but it won't break the bank if you go in with a few guys and a lot of leases offer year round access, so you can hunt all species on those ranches prewtty much anytime season depending, of course..Central Texas holds huge amounts of whitetails, turkey, hogs, Axis, dove, quail, varmits, predators. Also look into a lease in South Texas. As far as fishing opportunities go, you can be fishing at any of these places in 2 hours or less: Travis Lake Lake Austin Bastrop Lake Stillhouse Hollow lake Georgetown Lake Colorado River Granger Lake Lake LBJ Lake Buchanan Just to name a few.. The economy in Austin is robust and growing. Yes, its the "San Fran" of Texas, but who the heck cares? There is so much to do and see that you'll quickly forget about any of that political BS. But, you'll quickly find out why they say 'Keep Austin weird". I hope you get the job and get to make the move...you won't regret it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catfish campbell Report post Posted August 14, 2013 Grew up outside Austin on a large working cattle ranch and will be moving back someday.... I think you will love Austin area with the hunting / fishing it provides. One suggestion is to get a get a group of buddies together and lease a ranch for hunting for the year.... Also, with the huge numbers of free roaming exotics and feral hogs, you can pretty much hunt year round (also, these can be hunted at night with spotlights)...enjoy!
