Tarantula hunting in Austin, TX

[bugguy1]

I will be in Austin next month and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on places to find tarantulas to take pictures of. I would prefer national parks but am open to any suggestions. Thanks!

West side of Austin is rife with hentzi. Try Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve or Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge.
