Sign in to contribute

Parmer County occupies the flat southwestern High Plains along the New Mexico border, where irrigated agriculture, playa lake basins, and CRP grasslands converge to create some of the most productive pheasant habitat in Texas. The combination of corn and sorghum fields with CRP grassland edges and water-holding playas sustains ring-necked pheasant populations that attract upland hunters from across the state. White-tailed and mule deer exist in limited numbers along draws, but pheasant is the defining hunting identity of Parmer County.

Terrain & elevation

Nearly flat High Plains with irrigated crop fields of corn, cotton, and sorghum; CRP grasslands; shallow playa lake depressions; and minimal topographic relief near the New Mexico border.

Hunting pressure

Low to moderate; pheasant hunters concentrate during peak bird years but large agricultural tracts and wide-open terrain distribute pressure effectively.

Tags & permits

OTC; no antler restrictions in the Panhandle zone.

Species & seasons

Ring-necked pheasant is the defining species; some mule deer along draws and brushy caprock edges; coyote and prairie dog hunting on agricultural lands.

Highlights

Among the most productive Texas pheasant counties in strong population cycles; massive irrigated agricultural fields adjacent to CRP create bird concentrations rarely matched elsewhere in the state.
