Lamar County runs from Blackland farm ground around Paris north to the Red River bottoms. Much of its rural land is in ag valuations, and a lot of it is hunted. A wildlife plan serves both.
Last reviewed October 2026. Your appraisal district has the final say, so confirm the details with them.
We walk your Lamar County property, look at what the deer and other wildlife are using and what they lack, and write a plan around that. The plan names the practices, where they go and when, and who does each job.
We prepare your plan and help you file it with Lamar County Appraisal District. After that we can help with the yearly practices and prepare the annual report from your records.
South of Paris, around Deport and Pattonville, the county is open Blackland farm and pasture. North toward Pat Mayse Lake, Arthur City and the Red River, it turns to post oak, creek timber and big river bottomland.
Bottomland and timber hold deer, turkey and hogs. Farm ground holds them only where there is cover. Plans differ a lot from one end of the county to the other.
Native grass and brushy edges on open tracts are habitat control.
Protecting and managing hardwood bottoms keeps acorns and cover.
Steady hog pressure near the river makes trapping a useful predator control practice.
Food plots near cover, and a yearly camera survey.
Every property is different. These are starting points, and the plan for your land comes from walking it.
Lamar County Appraisal District sits in the Blackland Prairie and Post Oak Savannah regions. Those regions share the same TPWD range for a tract made smaller since January 1 of the year before: 12.5 to 16.7 acres. A tract that has not been reduced has no minimum.
Applications and plans go to Lamar County Appraisal District in Paris by April 30.

LVG Wildlife Solutions prepares wildlife management plans and supporting records. We are not attorneys or tax advisors, and nothing on this page is legal or tax advice.
Plug in your acres and land value. The estimator uses Lamar County's typical 2025 rural tax rate and the productivity value its appraisal district reports, then shows a rough yearly range and every figure it used.
Remember what it measures: the difference between full market-value taxes and an ag or wildlife valuation. If your land already has an ag valuation, a wildlife plan is how you keep that difference, not add to it.
See what goes into a wildlife management plan or ask us about your property.
Yes, if the land is in an ag or timber valuation now. You file the 1-d-1 application with a wildlife management plan before May 1. We prepare your plan and help you file it with Lamar County Appraisal District.
No minimum unless the tract was reduced since January 1 of the prior year. For a reduced tract the minimum falls within TPWD's range of 12.5 to 16.7 acres.
Usually very good. Bottomland timber, water and cover already favor deer and turkey. The plan focuses on keeping them on your ground and managing hogs.
