About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedClay 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.
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.
Moderate — the diversity of game species and Red River corridor attract hunters, offset by the predominantly private-land character.
Standard TPWD hunting license with deer tags. Subject to statewide antler restrictions in the Rolling Plains region.
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.
Red River corridor waterfowl and whitetail combination; Lake Arrowhead area hunting for diverse species.
