Sign in to contribute

Hudspeth County is one of the most remote and expansive Trans-Pecos counties in Texas, stretching from the Rio Grande north through the Quitman Mountains, Sierra Blanca flats, and the Diablo Plateau across some of the most rugged desert terrain in the state. Desert mule deer, pronghorn antelope, and javelina roam vast Chihuahuan Desert grasslands and mountain ranges on hunting country that sees minimal pressure relative to its enormous size. Public BLM land and a handful of large private ranches define access to this wild and demanding high-desert landscape.

Terrain & elevation

Chihuahuan Desert flats, Quitman and Sierra Blanca mountain ranges, Diablo Plateau grasslands; sotol, lechuguilla, and creosote bajadas; Rio Grande riparian corridor in the south

Hunting pressure

Very low; remote location, harsh desert terrain, and a sparse road network severely limit hunter access and overall pressure

Tags & permits

Special mule deer tags required in the Trans-Pecos zone; drawn permit hunts on certain public lands; OTC available in some portions of the county

Species & seasons

Desert mule deer in mountain ranges and bajadas; pronghorn antelope on open grassland flats; javelina year-round with no closed season; scaled quail in good numbers; limited Rio Grande wild turkey in riparian habitat; desert bighorn sheep reintroduction areas nearby

Highlights

Remote Trans-Pecos mule deer hunting in dramatic desert mountain terrain with very low hunter pressure; pronghorn antelope hunting on vast Chihuahuan Desert grasslands
