About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedMills County occupies a rugged stretch of the Edwards Plateau along the Colorado River and Pecan Bayou, delivering classic Hill Country hunting for white-tailed deer and Rio Grande wild turkey in cedar-oak canyon country. The county seat of Goldthwaite sits at the heart of ranching country where rocky cedar ridges, live oak flats, and river-bottom hardwoods create diverse habitat for deer and turkey. Low population density and a tradition of private ranch management give deer space to mature in terrain that rivals any in Central Texas.

Pecan Bayou and Colorado River corridor deer hunting; quintessential Hill Country turkey country around Goldthwaite
