“Deer” Capital of Texas
Known at the “Deer Captial of Texas”, and rightfully so. Thousands of hunters from across the globe travel to Llano from November through early January to take advantage of some of the best deer hunting in the state.
Native Americans and Spanish explorers knew about the Llano Basin for centuries because of its bounty of white-tailed deer. Later, European settlers relied upon the basin’s wildlife during the early years of what would become Llano County. After World War II, soldiers returning home discovered that perhaps no other place in Texas offered the quality of deer hunting than Llano.
Farmers and ranchers soon realized they could lease their land for hunting to supplement their income.
As hunters returned year after year from across the state — or out of state — the area’s reputation grew. The Llano Basin has the highest density of white-tailed deer in the nation with one deer for every 2-3 acres. Large ranches have also contributed to adding more exotic breeds, such as Axis, Elk, Philo and Impalas. The density in numbers and added exotics have contributed to Llano’s reputation as the “Deer Capital of Texas.”
Our Hunter’s Retreat is in honor of the long traditions of hunting giving a “bunk house” spot for family or group of friends with the “Cabin Lodge” look and feel in it’s decor, large wooden fireplace and lofted extra space for everyone to stretch out.
