Chaparral Wildlife Management Area

Well run wildlife management area. I applied for a Type 1 archery hunt, and it was a once in a lifetime experience for me!

Our family and friends have been coming here together for many yrs to enjoy, hunting, camping, wildlife, scenery, started off with my husband Roger around 20 yrs ago bird hunting. Our grandkids are now getting into hunting age to be able to teach them legal hunting and safety. We all enjoy Chaparral WMA and everyone we come across there has always been kind.

Great gem for the great state of Texas. Here wildlife natives like the legendary Texas Whitetail are 100% natural and embody what south Texas deer should be. Additionally, there are javalina on the ranch, along with thriving quail population and many predators, like bobcats and coyotes. I enjoyed my experience here. Even though I didn't harvest anything. Those in my hunting camp did and we had a splendid time.

Got drawn for mutlispecies - facilities and property top notch. Successful doe harvest and too slow for coyotes but saw quite a few. Would drive the 4.5 hours to try standby. Have walk in cooler and game cleaning area with ice machine.
