About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedWood County straddles the transition between the East Texas Piney Woods and Post Oak Savannah, producing quality white-tailed deer in dense timber, creek bottoms, and agricultural clearings centered on the Lake Fork Reservoir area. The timbered shorelines and WMA lands around Lake Fork offer genuine public hunting access, a rarity in this part of East Texas. Wild turkey, feral hog, and squirrel hunting complement the deer season in this heavily-forested East Texas county.
Rolling East Texas terrain with loblolly pine and hardwood mix in uplands, dense creek and river bottoms, agricultural fields and pastures, and Lake Fork Reservoir shoreline timber.
Moderate — timber company leases and private farms dominate, but WMA access concentrates public hunters in accessible tracts near the reservoir.
OTC; East Texas antler restrictions apply — buck must have 13-inch outside spread or meet age-based criteria.
Rio Grande wild turkey present in good numbers in timbered areas; feral hogs abundant in bottomland timber; squirrel and mourning dove hunting also popular.
Lake Fork area timbered whitetail hunting with genuine East Texas Pineywoods character; some of the best public hunting access available in this region of Texas.
