About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedMotley County defines remote West Texas hunting along the Caprock Escarpment, where dramatic breaks and canyon country divide the High Plains above from the Rolling Plains below. Both white-tailed deer and mule deer inhabit the cedar and mesquite-choked draws, with mule deer concentrated in the rougher caprock terrain. With minimal population and vast private ranches, hunting pressure here is among the lowest in the state.
