Beyond the hunt, there’s a whole region worth exploring. From historic sites to local dining, fishing holes to rodeo grounds, this part of Texas has plenty to offer between adventures. Take a look at some of the local attractions we recommend to our hunters.

Caverns of Sonora

The Caverns of Sonora is internationally recognized as one of the most beautiful show caves on the planet. Located 15 miles southwest of Sonora, Texas on I-10, the Caverns of Sonora marks the halfway point between San Antonio, TX and Big Bend National Park. Visitors come close and personal with this highly decorated cave system on intimate guided tours. The ranch-inspired grounds and gift shop offer a place to relax in nature, pan for gemstones, hike, or even indulge in homemade fudge.
