For visual aesthetics, I'll throw out Kerr or Bandera counties. They were my favorite in the 60's 70's and 80's but then way too much development and population growth started taking it's toll on the landscape and culture! Big ranches turning into subdivisions, and too many people have ruined it in my opinion. That’s happening All over the place. 10 years ago you almost couldn’t give a ranch away in Lampasas county and had to make a hard sell in Burnet. Now both are on fire selling 5-20 acre tracts like hot cakes There are 3 10-25 acre tract subdivisions going on right now north of pearsall in frio county. Going to continue to happen, as more people with money continue to flood into the state and want to get “ their piece of the country “
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Personally, I think it is more of people from Texas wanting a retreat or even a place to bug out to in the event crap hits the fan. I get it. Seems to me people from out of state are buying nice place in what they "think" of as being a country subdivision.

Llano County is nice, Where I live Kingsland Tx., Heck had a ten point buck and 2 does in the front yard yesterday, but have been all over Texas, East, West, North and South and every place is top notch. The small 100 acre place I had and sold over in Fayette County on Buckner Creek was a prize. Texas is Grand!

The trend the last few years is urbanites and suburbanites who don’t have a traditional rural background ( hunting, ranching, farming ) background are buying up land. Most just want a place away from the city to hang out. 85% of Texans live in either a urban or suburban setting ( myself included ) and they just want a place in the country. You are correct as most of thr buyers I’m seeing are Texas residents and have been for awhile

Have to agree. Don’t think I could pick one. Texas has it all. Might be easier to pick a favorite region. The ruggedness of the west and Mountains and Basins is hard to match. The Gulf Coast Region is a jewel. Palo and Caprock Canyons can be magical. But what’s better than the Hill country. Nope, don’t think I could pick a region either.

Shhhh! We don't need any more people moving out here spoiling it! (Childress County, Worked in Hall 6 yrs) I'm a panhandle convert. Where else can you have whitetail, mule deer, turkeys, pheasant, quail, dove, sandhill crane and just about every other critter? I choose Hall.

Shackleford is high on my list. Couldn't agree more on Shackelford. Really seasonal, great hunting, awesome small town steakhouse and friendly locals.

Eastern Erath near Chalk mountain. Hill country views, great hunting and fishing. 2 hours from my Wifes house. Second would be Real county, north of Leakey. We have land there too. Just wish it was a couple hours closer.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.
Don't text and drive.

Palo Pinto, been all over the state and still like the mountains, hardwoods and Brazos better than any of the rest. Nice lake there. I will be hunting there in a few weeks to see what all the talk is about.
