Hunting at Rosebud's Flatrock Ranch
	The ranch is a family-owned and operated private ranch in the heart of Texas Hill Country near the historic Comfort, Texas. Lodging and meals are provided at the ranch. We have state of the art insulated hunting blinds to safely hunt native whitetail, axis, blackbuck, fallow, and sika. Hunting is available year-round, except for whitetail deer, which have a season from November to early January each year. All our hunts are guided. Out-of-town hunters can fly to San Antonio. If you are interested in harvesting one of our trophy animals, we will be happy to go over our prices and our hunting regulations. Come join us for a unique hunting experience for native and exotic game on a beautiful private Texas Hill Country Ranch.

White-tailed Deer Description. A relatively small deer with relatively short ears; all major points of the antlers come off the main beam; tail relatively long, broad basally, and white underneath; metatarsal gland small and circular; females usually antlerless; upperparts reddish brown in summer, bright grayish fawn sprinkled with black in winter; face and tail usually lack blackish markings; underparts white.
	Axis Deer Distribution in Texas. Native to India, where it is known as the "chital," the axis deer was introduced into Texas about 1932. In 1988, free-ranging herds were established in 27 counties of central and southern Texas. At this time, it also occurs as a confined animal on ranches in 67 other counties. Axis deer are the most abundant exotic ungulate in Texas.
Sika Deer Distribution in Texas. Formerly, sika were native from southern Siberia and the adjacent Japanese island of Hokkaido south, along both the mainland and islands, to southeastern China and Formosa. Sika have rapidly disappeared from much of their range due to habitat loss. Sika have been introduced in 77 counties of central and southern Texas, with free-ranging populations known from 12 of these counties. In 1988, the total statewide population was estimated to be 11,879.
	Blackbuck Antelope Distribution in Texas. Blackbuck antelope were originally released in Texas in the Edwards Plateau (Kerr County) in 1932. In 1988, only eight Texas counties had free-ranging blackbuck, but these antelope were confined on ranches in 86 counties. Of the total number of exotics confined on Texas ranches in 1988, only the axis deer outnumbered blackbuck antelope.
Fallow Deer Distribution in Texas. Native to the Mediterranean region of Europe and Asia Minor, fallow deer are the most widely kept of the world’s deer and have been introduced to all inhabited continents. This deer has been introduced to 93 Texas counties, primarily in the Edwards Plateau region. In 1988, the Texas population was estimated to be 14,163, both free-ranging and confined animals combined.
