Sign in to contribute

Uvalde County is one of the legendary names in Texas deer hunting, where the Edwards Plateau limestone breaks meet the South Texas Brush Country in a landscape of cedar, live oak, cenizo, and guajillo. The Frio River canyon cuts through this rugged terrain offering dramatic Hill Country scenery alongside some of the finest white-tailed deer hunting in the state. Both family ranches and high-end managed operations populate the county, and Rio Grande wild turkey add a worthy secondary pursuit throughout the cedar and oak uplands.

Moderate on managed ranches. The county is popular for guided and semi-guided hunts, but large ranch sizes distribute pressure effectively.
