Tyler County anchors Deep East Texas at the edge of the Big Thicket, a biologically rich landscape where piney woods, cypress swamps, and hardwood bottomlands converge along the Neches River. White-tailed deer thrive in this diverse habitat, and wild turkey inhabit the upland pine areas throughout the county. The extreme terrain and limited road network create a genuine wilderness hunting experience in one of the most ecologically unique regions of Texas.

Terrain & elevation

Deep East Texas Piney Woods transitioning into Big Thicket ecosystem. Loblolly pine uplands give way to cypress-tupelo swamps and dense hardwood bottomlands along the Neches River. Terrain is low and wet with numerous bayous and sloughs.

Hunting pressure

Low to moderate. Remote terrain, wet conditions, and thick vegetation naturally limit hunting pressure throughout the county.

Tags & permits

OTC license required. Verify current TPWD regulations for applicable antler restrictions.

Species & seasons

Wild turkey in pine upland areas. Feral hogs extremely abundant throughout all habitats. Squirrel and small game hunting in hardwood bottoms. Some waterfowl opportunity along the Neches River corridor.

Highlights

Big Thicket National Preserve hunting in one of the most ecologically unique landscapes in North America. Neches River bottomland deer and hog hunting in genuine wilderness conditions.
