About this unit
Sign in to contributeSan Patricio County occupies the Coastal Bend of South Texas where the Nueces River delta and Corpus Christi Bay create a diverse mosaic of brush country, coastal wetlands, and agricultural flats that support excellent white-tailed deer, waterfowl, and dove hunting. South Texas deer genetics in the brushy interior produce quality bucks on well-managed ranch leases. The coastal position makes this county a funnel for wintering waterfowl along the Central Flyway.
Flat to gently rolling South Texas coastal plain with dense mesquite and brush interior; Nueces River delta and Corpus Christi Bay create tidal flats and coastal marshes; agricultural flats support grain sorghum, cotton, and improved pasture grasses
Hunting is primarily by lease on private ranches; Corpus Christi Bay public areas and TPWD coastal access points offer limited public opportunity; Welder Wildlife Refuge is a private research reserve with no public hunting
Moderate; strong lease culture inland; coastal access for waterfowl draws seasonal pressure from the Corpus Christi area and beyond
Statewide antler restrictions apply; South Texas brush country produces quality bucks under ranch MLDP management programs
Rio Grande turkey on brushy ranch land; waterfowl on coastal flats and Nueces River delta during Central Flyway migration; dove hunting is excellent for both mourning and white-winged dove; feral hogs present
Coastal Bend waterfowl hunting along Central Flyway migration routes; South Texas brush country deer on quality ranch leases near Corpus Christi
