A 171-acre public-hunting unit sits beside US 181 near Floresville

Wilson County does have a small public-hunting foothold. TPWD maps the 171-acre Highway 181 Unit #2541 near Floresville. Access uses the Annual Public Hunting Permit, and the legal game and dates come from the current unit map.

That makes the map part of the permit. Do not carry last season's game list into a new year. Search TPWD's public-hunting tool and open the live unit sheet before a trip.

Landowners have another TPWD path. Wildlife biologists assigned to Wilson County offer free advice on habitat, wildlife, and land goals. Private-pond help is a separate service, so describe the property and the question when making contact.
