Mason County exotics

Just wondering what, if any, free range exotics are in Mason county?

I'm no aficionado, but I'd guess "you name it." I'd assume the ego farmers have tried everything.

A friend hit an axis as he was leaving town a few weeks back, by the golf course. We have seen a few black buck on the west side of the county and a few axis. They are shot on site.

Off the top of mind, we've had axis, fallow, red stag, blackbuck that I am aware of. The blackbuck group had grown to over 10 over a couple years of not hunting them. Unfortunately, the big freeze got most of them a couple years back. LO found them in a barn/shed they had taken shelter in. I know know the dominant buck and a doe made it as I saw them the following weekend. Haven't seen them since so I assume he went in search of a new harem.

We had a lease on the Llano River south of town that had Blackbuck and Axis. I also know of at least one area with free-range Aoudad as well.

Axis and blackbuck are the most common, with some aoudad and fallow, and then the occasional very random animal.

I hunt in southeast Mason County, and the the longtime lease members have said they have never seen any exotics on the lease. Then 2 years ago a member saw 2 young bull Red Stag and he was able to harvest one of them, but none since. I had observed some free range blackbuck a few miles from the lease, but that was before the big freeze, so I am u sure if any survived.
