Sign in to contribute

Gregg County lies in the heart of East Texas Piney Woods near Longview, dominated by loblolly pine forests, hardwood bottomlands, and creek drainages feeding the Sabine River system. White-tailed deer are the primary quarry in tight pine-hardwood habitat that demands short-range shooting skills and patience in dense cover. The county is more developed around Longview than much of rural East Texas, but prime hunting ground persists in the rural eastern and southern portions.

Terrain & elevation

Flat to gently rolling East Texas Piney Woods with loblolly pine plantations, mixed pine-hardwood bottomlands, and creek drainages; dense cover characterizes most hunting setups

Hunting pressure

moderate to high near Longview; more moderate in the rural eastern portions away from the city

Tags & permits

OTC tags; East Texas Zone antler restrictions apply; check current TPWD regulations

Species & seasons

Wild turkey present in pine-hardwood timber; squirrel hunting popular in hardwood bottoms; feral hogs common in bottomlands; some waterfowl opportunity on the Sabine River

Highlights

Classic East Texas Piney Woods deer hunting in tight pine cover; Longview provides a convenient full-service hunting base with easy access to surrounding timber country
