About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedDallam County anchors the far northwest corner of the Texas Panhandle, offering a rare convergence of High Plains mule deer, pronghorn antelope, and ring-necked pheasant that is almost unmatched within Texas borders. The county contains portions of Rita Blanca National Grassland, one of the only genuine walk-in public land hunting options in the Texas Panhandle. XIT Ranch country hardpan grassland and Canadian River breaks combine to create diverse habitat for multiple species.
High Plains shortgrass prairie and playa lakes in the west; Canadian River breaks with cedar draws in the east; flat to gently rolling caliche grassland at approximately 4,000 feet elevation.
Low to moderate on public grassland; low on private leases. Rita Blanca draws Panhandle pheasant hunters but acreage is sufficient to absorb pressure.
Mule deer permit required through TPWD; pronghorn require a drawn TPWD permit; pheasant require small game license and are open during the statewide pheasant season in the Panhandle zone.
Ring-necked pheasant hunting is among the best in Texas in Dallam County, with birds concentrated in playa lake margins and grain field edges. Pronghorn antelope are in good numbers. Quail and dove also present seasonally.
Rita Blanca National Grassland is one of the only places in Texas for walk-in public land pheasant hunting; the combination of pheasant, pronghorn, and mule deer in a single Panhandle county is genuinely unique within Texas.
