About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedUpshur County occupies the Post Oak Savannah and Piney Woods transition zone of Northeast Texas, where rolling hills and hardwood creek drainages support a healthy white-tailed deer population amid a patchwork of pine-hardwood forest and agricultural land. Hunting is conducted almost exclusively on private land through lease arrangements, which are abundant and well-established across the county. Wild turkey are present in the upland timber and serve as a secondary target for many lessees.
