About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedOchiltree County in the far northern Panhandle is flat shortgrass prairie country near the Oklahoma border, where wheat and sorghum fields interspersed with CRP grasslands create prime conditions for ring-necked pheasant. The county sits squarely in the heart of Texas pheasant range, attracting upland bird hunters from across the state each November and December. White-tailed deer have expanded into creek drainages and farm shelterbelts, adding a bonus species for hunters working the river bottoms.
Near-flat High Plains shortgrass prairie with wheat and sorghum agricultural fields, CRP grasslands, shallow playa lake depressions, and narrow creek drainages with cottonwood and elm shelterbelts.
Low to moderate for pheasant during good population years; low for deer given the sparse woody cover.
OTC; no antler restrictions in the Panhandle zone.
Ring-necked pheasant is the primary draw; coyote and prairie dog hunting available year-round on agricultural lands.
One of Texas most reliable pheasant counties in years of good precipitation; CRP and wheat stubble combination holds strong bird numbers near playa lake basins.
