Sign in to contribute

Hill 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.

Terrain & elevation

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

Hunting pressure

Moderate; proximity to Waco and Fort Worth drives lease demand but large tracts remain intact

Tags & permits

OTC licenses; antler restrictions apply; MLDP permits available on many managed ranches for additional doe harvest

Species & seasons

Rio Grande wild turkey populations solid throughout timbered creek drainages; feral hogs abundant and huntable year-round; bobwhite quail in agricultural areas

Highlights

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
