Texas hill country is pretty great area to be. Some parts closer to Austin and San Antonio have grown a lot, but if you stay away from those cities it’s still nice and quiet. Hunting sucks if you don’t own land or know someone with it though.
never been much of a brand loyalist, just really like whatever works. Figured out the Tikkas all work very well! Proud owner of 3 of them and they all shoot lights out.
