Sign in to contribute

Coleman County occupies the transitional zone between the Rolling Plains and the eastern Edwards Plateau in central Texas, producing solid white-tailed deer and Rio Grande wild turkey hunting on cedar-mesquite terrain along the upper Colorado River. The county is a quiet gem for hunters willing to secure private leases, offering strong deer numbers and diverse upland habitat away from the crowds of the I-35 corridor. Working cattle and goat ranches define the access landscape between Abilene and San Angelo.

Terrain & elevation

Rolling mesquite and cedar (Ashe juniper) country with Colorado River bottomlands and oak-lined creek drainages. Terrain transitions from flatter plains in the north to more dissected plateau topography in the south and west.

Hunting pressure

Moderate — solid deer numbers attract lease hunters but the rural character and lack of public land keep pressure from becoming excessive.

Tags & permits

Standard TPWD hunting license with deer tags. Antler restrictions apply in this region.

Species & seasons

Rio Grande wild turkey are well established in the cedar and oak draws. Feral hogs are numerous and provide additional hunting opportunity. Dove hunting is popular in harvested fields and around stock tanks.

Highlights

Transitional Rolling Plains to Edwards Plateau habitat holding quality whitetail; underutilized turkey hunting on ranches between Abilene and San Angelo.
