Sign in to contribute

Clay County in north-central Texas stretches along the Red River with a productive mix of mesquite and cedar breaks, creek drainages, and Lake Arrowhead that together support strong populations of white-tailed deer, Rio Grande turkey, and waterfowl. The Red River corridor and its associated bottomland hardwoods make this one of the better all-around hunting counties in the northern Rolling Plains. A mix of ranch land and row-crop farms defines the landscape, with lease hunting the dominant access model.

Terrain & elevation

Rolling mesquite and cedar terrain with creek drainages and river-bottom hardwoods along the Red River. Lake Arrowhead provides a major reservoir surrounded by brushy uplands and native grass pastures.

Hunting pressure

Moderate — the diversity of game species and Red River corridor attract hunters, offset by the predominantly private-land character.

Tags & permits

Standard TPWD hunting license with deer tags. Subject to statewide antler restrictions in the Rolling Plains region.

Species & seasons

Waterfowl hunting along the Red River and Lake Arrowhead can be excellent during migration. Rio Grande turkey are present in the creek-bottom timber and cedar breaks. Dove hunting is popular in harvested crop fields.

Highlights

Red River corridor waterfowl and whitetail combination; Lake Arrowhead area hunting for diverse species.
