About this unit

Sign in to contribute

Randall County is home to Palo Duro Canyon, the Grand Canyon of Texas, where 800-foot red rock walls and cedar breaks create some of the most dramatic hunting terrain on the Southern Plains. Mule deer and whitetail inhabit the canyon breaks while pronghorn roam the open shortgrass above the rim, and ring-necked pheasant work the agricultural edges. Managed hunts inside Palo Duro Canyon State Park are among the most sought-after permits in the Panhandle.

Terrain & elevation

Caprock Escarpment and Palo Duro Canyon, the Grand Canyon of Texas, cut through the southern High Plains, dropping 800 feet from the mesa to the canyon floor with red rock walls and cedar breaks

Hunting pressure

Moderate - Palo Duro draw hunts are competitive but total hunter numbers are limited by access restrictions on mostly private surrounding land

Tags & permits

OTC county tag; Palo Duro managed hunts require separate state-issued permits obtained through draw

Species & seasons

Ring-necked pheasant in CRP and agricultural edges; mule deer in canyon breaks; pronghorn in open shortgrass; wild turkey in canyon riparian zones along the Prairie Dog Town Fork

Highlights

Palo Duro Canyon provides one of the most dramatic deer hunting settings in Texas; mule deer and pronghorn coexist on the Panhandle breaks above the canyon rim
