Sign in to contribute

Terrell County is one of the most remote and rugged counties in Texas, stretching across the Chihuahuan Desert with Mule Deer as the premier game species. The Pecos River cuts dramatic canyon country through the landscape and Black Gap WMA provides rare public land access to exceptional desert hunting. Pronghorn roam the open flats and Aoudad inhabit the rocky escarpments of this Trans-Pecos wilderness.

Terrain & elevation

Rugged Chihuahuan Desert with Pecos River canyon country, limestone mesas, brushy desert flats, and remote mountain terrain in the Big Bend borderland region around Sanderson

Hunting pressure

Low - extreme remoteness, sparse population, and permit-controlled public land keep pressure minimal across this vast county

Tags & permits

OTC Texas hunting license for whitetail; Mule deer require a separate Trans-Pecos Mule Deer tag; Black Gap WMA requires TPWD Annual Public Hunting Permit and a separate drawn permit

Species & seasons

Trophy-class Mule deer on private ranches and Black Gap WMA; Pronghorn in open desert flats; Aoudad established in canyon country; Javelina common; Scaled and Gambel Quail in desert scrub

Highlights

Black Gap WMA is one of the few places in Texas to pursue Mule deer on public land in genuine Trans-Pecos desert terrain; remote canyon country provides an adventure hunting experience with exceptional desert wildlife
