About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedFreestone County covers the Post Oak Savannah of East-Central Texas, a mosaic of sandy-soil woodlands, native grasslands, and Navasota River drainages that produce solid white-tailed deer hunting with relatively low competition. The Rio Grande turkey population benefits from diverse habitat edges between open savannah and bottomland timber. Fairfield Lake and surrounding impoundments add waterfowl hunting to the mix, rounding out a versatile and underrated county for the all-around hunter.
