About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedLamar County hugs the Red River on the Oklahoma border in northeast Texas, combining bottomland hardwood flats of oak, pecan, and cottonwood with upland post oak savannah and red-clay farmland around Paris. Pat Mayse Lake and its associated Corps of Engineers WMA provide some of the few free public hunting opportunities in the region, drawing deer, turkey, and waterfowl hunters across multiple seasons. The Red River corridor adds seasonal waterfowl shooting rare for inland northeast Texas.
Red River floodplain bottoms of oak, pecan, and cottonwood transitioning to post oak savannah and red-clay upland cropland. Pat Mayse Lake creates additional shoreline and wetland habitat in the county interior.
Moderate. Public tracts at Pat Mayse WMA see pressure during peak deer and turkey seasons; private land remains the primary hunting resource for the region.
Standard TPWD hunting license with included deer tags. No county-specific antler restrictions under standard regulations; confirm current proclamation.
Waterfowl hunting along Red River bottoms and Pat Mayse Lake is a notable draw, with mallards and puddle ducks using the corridor during fall migration. Rio Grande turkey are present in bottomland hardwoods. Squirrel hunting in the pecan and oak bottoms is a local tradition.
Pat Mayse WMA offers free public deer and turkey hunting rare for this part of Texas; Red River bottomland waterfowl shooting adds a second major season to the calendar.
