Deer hunting fantasy meets opening day in Texas Hill Country

Deer hunting fuels Texas Hill Country economy surge
The three month deer season boosts rural Texas economies, led by Llano and Kimble Counties. Chamber figures estimate one third and forty percent of their economies depend on hunting, with statewide license sales bringing in over thirteen million dollars. Hunting gear and leases add further spending, totaling substantial annual revenue for communities and the Parks and Wildlife Department.
