I hunted Pederales in 2012 and they said there were some exotics(goats, aoudad, and Sika or Fallow(I can't remember which)) but most were on the other side of the river. We didn't see anything other than whitetails and everyone had an opportunity to get something. The game warden who worked it was total ahole but the Pedernales staff person was a good guy who was trying to make everyone have a good experience.

FYI you have to bring your own firewood if are staying at the campground.

Congrats on hitting the jackpot! I'd always rather be LUCKY than just "Good at sumthin."

I have a self made nephew who is more than just a little wealthy. Umm more than a few years ago, back in one of his Buy Distressed Land days he briefly looked at a ranch that had been let get over run with Axis to the point the critters were down to eating tree bark during a family business breakup, and I had hoped and prayed that IF my nephew bought the place .... just mebbe I could go "help" relieve the over crowded population. Oh Well another so called opportunity that was just another musing fantasy.

FWIW, years ago there was a outfit that pen raised Axis somewhere west of Austin as I recall and advertised the meat in Texas Hwy's magazine at shall we say " a tad more than a "just" a few nickle's & dimes a pound" . If you can find an Ad like that these days I'm sure it'd be big time cheaper than trying to find a lease or Day Hunt that offers Axis by the pound. Good Luck on your hunt.
