Why would you choose that one: close to home, animal population, hunting regulations, chance at an animal of a lifetime, environment, surrounding areas, etc. Just seeing some responses and why.

I would choose a county in the Panhandle. Most provide the oppurtunity for a better than average whitetail and the chance at mule deer. They also offer varying terrain types from mesquite flats, hardwood creek bottoms to canyons or grass lands. Lower number of hunters per acre, less deer but enough to keep you interested. My

But I have hunted other areas and I love the feel of hunting those big river bottom hard woods deer. Just something about it. I would almost end up somewhere in Trinity co. or maybe a little more south. I would lose some varity of animals but as long as I had my whitetails and some turkeys I might be just fine.

Any thing that borders the W.T. Waggoner Ranch or the 6666's.

Waggoner covers land in 3 counties I believe.
