Hunting
Wildlife Management Areas have rules and regulations for hunting not required on private property. Hunters must possess a valid hunting license, the appropriate tags and stamps, as well as the proper public hunting permit. Permits include: Annual Public Hunting Permit (APH), computer drawn Special Permits, and the Regular Permit, which allows daily small game hunting on some areas. Hunters 16 years of age and younger are not required to have a hunting permit, but must have a hunting license and be supervised by a licensed, permitted adult, 18 years of age or older. Hunters and non-hunters must wear hunter orange during daylight hours at any time when firearm hunting for any species is authorized on the unit (except turkeys, waterfowl, and dove). For more details see the rules page for this WMA, the Summary of Fishing and Hunting Regulations and Public Hunting Lands Information and Maps.
Drawn hunts are offered for white-tailed deer and Rio Grande wild turkeys. During drawn hunts, participants may also harvest unlimited feral pigs and coyotes along with their designated bag limit of deer or turkey. Antler restrictions are enforced during deer hunts. ATV and UTV usage are prohibited. Standby positions may be offered during drawn hunts, please contact WMA staff to check for availability. Walk-in style dove hunts are offered for Annual Public Hunting (APH) Permit holders during designated dates and times. Additional information on public hunting in Texas can be found on the Public Hunting in Texas & Access to TPWD Lands webpage.
