Edwards Plateau - Deer Rifle

Rifle deer hunting on Edwards Plateau means 110 private acres of rugged Edwards County country south of Rocksprings, Texas, in the white-tailed deer North Zone. Edwards Plateau whitetails are plentiful, and general season covers the late fall stretch when Hill Country bucks are on their feet looking for does.

The ranch is a mix of oak and juniper woodland, rocky ridges, and shallow draws, with the Indian Creek drainage running along the north side. That creek bottom and the brush lines that feed into it are where deer travel. Pick a vantage on a slope or a crossing, and you can cover the openings where deer step out of heavy cover.

Booking gives your party of up to two hunters the whole property. You can drive or ride an ATV or UTV on the existing ranch roads, which makes getting in early and hauling a deer out simple. Bring a portable blind or stand, since the ranch has no permanent setups. Tent and trailer camping is welcome at the north access.

The hunt runs 4 days and is priced per hunter. No draw is required. Grab a meal and fuel in Rocksprings, or stay in Junction.

White-tailed deer on this ranch move between dense oak and juniper cover and the creek bottom along Indian Creek. Rocky slopes give rifle hunters elevated looks into draws and brush edges. General season brings rutting activity in the Hill Country, with bucks covering ground and showing themselves during daylight. Does are also legal within the county bag limit.

After your hunt, you will be sent an automated Harvest Report. To assist Infinite Outdoors in maintaining the quality of properties, and continue to put conservation at the forefront, we require that the harvest report be completely filled out and returned. Failure to fill out the harvest report within 2 weeks of the hunt taking place will result in a $25 fine. If you are unsuccessful in filling your tag, Infinite Outdoors still needs to have that information provided to them. This is how we will make changes to future year's harvest quotas and continue to be the most well managed access and conservation platform in the country.

Texas general deer season in the North Zone opens in early November and runs into early January. Visit tpwd.texas.gov for this year's dates.
