About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedPecos County in the Trans-Pecos region is one of the largest counties in Texas, stretching across Chihuahuan Desert basins, limestone mountain ranges, and rugged canyon country in the remote far west. Mule deer are the signature big-game quarry, with vast private ranches in the Glass Mountains and surrounding ranges supporting healthy populations that rarely encounter hunting pressure. Pronghorn antelope roam the open desert flats and aoudad sheep have established free-ranging populations in the rocky escarpments, creating a genuine multi-species big-game destination unique in Texas.
Chihuahuan Desert with broad alluvial basins, the Glass Mountains limestone range, and dramatic canyon terrain; sparse lechuguilla, creosote, and desert scrub at lower elevations with juniper and pinon pine on the ridges.
Very low — extreme remoteness, enormous ranch sizes, and high lease costs naturally limit hunting pressure throughout the county.
OTC for white-tailed deer; separate mule deer tag required; pronghorn requires a limited drawing permit through TPWD.
Aoudad (Barbary sheep) established in rocky terrain and huntable year-round on private land; mule deer excellent in the Glass Mountains; pronghorn antelope on desert flats; javelina common.
Glass Mountains mule deer hunting on massive private ranches; one of very few Texas counties where hunters can pursue pronghorn, mule deer, aoudad, and javelina in the same landscape.
