Sign in to contribute

Refugio County occupies the South Texas coastal transition zone where live oak mottes, mesquite grasslands, and coastal prairie converge near the Aransas Bay system. White-tailed deer carry the strong South Texas genetics of the brush country, supported by dove, wild turkey, and coastal waterfowl opportunities. The combination of brush country deer hunting and coastal access makes Refugio an unusually versatile county for Texas hunters.
