About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedThe Texas Panhandle county containing Amarillo sits where shortgrass prairie meets the dramatic Canadian River canyon breaks and scattered playa lakes. Mule deer, pronghorn, and ring-necked pheasant define the hunting character alongside robust dove and waterfowl opportunities. Ranch-access hunting dominates here, with wide-open country offering spot-and-stalk opportunities more typical of the West than of Texas.
