Panhandle Upland Bird Hunting in Lipscomb County

Lipscomb County The Great Outdoors

Pheasant hunting is not a statewide Texas thing. TPWD lists Lipscomb under the Panhandle pheasant season, with an upland game bird endorsement required. For the 2025-26 Outdoor Annual, the season runs from early December into early January, with a daily limit of three cocks.

Quail season is broader and longer. TPWD lists the regular quail season from November into late February, with a daily limit of 15 birds. Around Lipscomb, that means wheat ground, field edges, and grassier breaks can matter as much as any map.

Most access is still private. A good Lipscomb trip starts with landowner permission and the current TPWD county page, since dates and limits can shift by season.
