Sign in to contribute

Sherman County occupies the extreme northwestern corner of the Texas Panhandle, where flat High Plains wheat and sorghum fields give way to sandy draws holding mule deer and pronghorn antelope on the open prairie. Ring-necked pheasants thrive in the CRP grasslands and grain agriculture, making this one of the few Texas counties where pheasant hunting rivals deer in local tradition. The remote location and vast private landholdings keep hunting pressure remarkably low for the quality of game available.

Terrain & elevation

Flat to gently rolling High Plains with deep sandy soils, wheat and sorghum agriculture, CRP grasslands, and shallow playa lakes; minimal topographic relief across the county

Hunting pressure

Low; remote location, sparse population, and vast private landholdings keep hunting pressure minimal; pheasant hunters concentrate near county roads with permission

Tags & permits

OTC tags under Texas statewide regulations; mule deer subject to Texas Panhandle mule deer regulations; pronghorn by Texas draw permit only

Species & seasons

Ring-necked pheasant hunting is the cultural centerpiece of the county in good years; pronghorn antelope available through the Texas draw system; mule deer inhabit sandy draws and CRP edges; white-tailed deer present in minimal numbers along drainages

Highlights

One of the premier pheasant hunting counties in Texas; pronghorn antelope on open High Plains; remote Panhandle mule deer in sandy draws
