Hill County has a named TPWD wildlife biologist you can call about land and habitat

Texas Parks and Wildlife (TPWD) assigns a wildlife biologist to each county. For Hill County that is Kyle Melton, reachable at (254) 315-1528, with Dean Marquardt as the district leader. These biologists work with private landowners on improving habitat and managing deer. They also advise on how wildlife use of your land can help qualify it for an ag valuation, which can lower your taxes. There is no state-managed wildlife management area inside Hill County, but the biologist still serves the area.

Their help is free for landowners. Staff and numbers can change, so confirm the current Hill County contact on the TPWD website before you call. If you own or manage rural land and have questions about wildlife, calling your county biologist is a good first step.
