Sign in to contribute

Yoakum County occupies the southern Llano Estacado high plains of West Texas, a vast landscape of short-grass prairie, caliche flats, and shinnery oak sand hills that constitutes classic mule deer and pronghorn country on the edge of the Permian Basin. The flat-to-rolling terrain is intensively farmed in cotton and grain sorghum, concentrating wildlife along the few sand sage draws and sandy breaks. Public land is essentially nonexistent here and hunting access depends entirely on private landowner relationships or closely held leases.

Terrain & elevation

Llano Estacado high plains with flat caliche terrain, shinnery oak and sand sage hills and draws, irrigated cotton and grain sorghum fields with minimal surface water and shallow playas.

Hunting pressure

Low — remote location and private land character keep general hunting pressure low; quality leases are well-used but not overcrowded.

Tags & permits

OTC for mule deer in this primary mule deer range; pronghorn require a separate TPWD drawing permit.

Species & seasons

Pronghorn present on open flats and sandy plains; sandhill crane and mourning dove hunting on grain sorghum fields can be exceptional in-season.

Highlights

Southern Llano Estacado mule deer hunting on authentic high plains sand hills; outstanding sandhill crane opportunity over grain sorghum fields in late fall.
