About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedTaylor County spans classic Rolling Plains terrain centered on Abilene where mesquite-dominated grasslands hold steady populations of white-tailed deer. Agricultural fields and riparian corridors along Elm Creek and Lake Fort Phantom Hill attract deer, dove, and turkeys in good numbers. The county offers affordable lease hunting relative to the Hill Country while producing quality central-west Texas whitetail.
