Maverick County is deep South Texas Brush Country along the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass, harboring some of the state's most coveted trophy whitetail genetics. The county's dense thorn scrub of guajillo, blackbrush, and ceniza provides ideal habitat for big-bodied, heavy-antlered bucks that have made South Texas famous worldwide. Hunting here is an almost entirely private-land, high-fence or low-fence ranch experience with very limited public access.
