About this unit
Sign in to contributeHill County occupies rolling terrain where the Blackland Prairie meets the Eastern Cross Timbers south of Fort Worth, offering classic central Texas whitetail hunting on cedar-studded limestone hills and creek drainages. The Nolan and Brazos River tributaries cut through the county creating wooded bottoms that concentrate deer, turkey, and feral hogs throughout the year. Private-land leases define access across this moderate-pressure county within comfortable driving distance of the DFW metroplex.
Rolling limestone hills with cedar brakes, post oak, and live oak; Blackland Prairie flats in the eastern portion; creek drainages with hardwood bottoms along Nolan and Brazos River tributaries
Predominantly private land; hunting leases common throughout the county; no significant public hunting areas within county boundaries
Moderate; proximity to Waco and Fort Worth drives lease demand but large tracts remain intact
OTC licenses; antler restrictions apply; MLDP permits available on many managed ranches for additional doe harvest
Rio Grande wild turkey populations solid throughout timbered creek drainages; feral hogs abundant and huntable year-round; bobwhite quail in agricultural areas
Classic central Texas whitetail experience with good buck-to-doe ratios on managed ranches; Rio Grande turkey hunting along wooded creek bottoms in a transitional landscape
