Sign in to contribute

Floyd County sits on the Llano Estacado of the South Plains near Floydada, where flat agricultural country and playa lakes create a distinctive hunting environment anchored by mule deer along the caprock breaks and seasonal waterfowl in the playas. Cotton fields and playa basins draw impressive numbers of migrating ducks and sandhill cranes during fall, providing some of the best waterfowl hunting on the South Plains. Ring-necked pheasants persist in CRP and native grass areas, adding a classic upland hunting dimension to the county's seasonal mix.

Terrain & elevation

Flat Llano Estacado with cotton fields, playa lakes, and CRP grassland on caliche and sandy loam soils. Minimal topographic relief except along caprock escarpment edges.

Hunting pressure

Low; remote agricultural county with limited public access and a small resident hunting population, making it one of the least pressured counties on the South Plains.

Tags & permits

OTC mule deer tags; Rolling Plains and Panhandle regulations apply with season dates specific to the zone governing this portion of the South Plains.

Species & seasons

Playa lakes attract ducks and sandhill cranes during fall migration, providing top-quality waterfowl hunting. Ring-necked pheasants remain present in CRP and native grass areas in reduced numbers.

Highlights

Playa lake waterfowl hunting during fall migration rivals anywhere in the state for duck and crane numbers; mule deer along caprock breaks reward hunters who work landowner relationships.
