Navarro County has Blackland farm ground in the west, post oak country in the east, and Richland-Chambers Reservoir on the south. Ranches and hunting tracts here often sit in ag valuations that a wildlife plan can carry on.
Last reviewed October 2026. Your appraisal district has the final say, so confirm the details with them.
We walk your Navarro 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 Navarro Central Appraisal District. After that we can help with the yearly practices and prepare the annual report from your records.
West of Corsicana is open Blackland Prairie. East toward the Trinity River it changes to sandy post oak woods and pasture. Richland-Chambers Reservoir and Navarro Mills Lake add water and bottomland to both.
That split matters for a plan. Prairie tracts need cover put back. Post oak tracts usually need brush and yaupon opened up so there is browse under the trees.
Thinning brush and yaupon under post oak is habitat control and grows browse for deer.
On the western farm ground, native grass and brushy edges add cover.
Food plots and water sources on tracts away from the lakes.
Trapping hogs in the river bottoms and repeating a yearly camera survey.
Every property is different. These are starting points, and the plan for your land comes from walking it.
Navarro County lies across the Blackland Prairie and Post Oak Savannah regions, and the region covering most of the county controls. Both have the same TPWD range for a reduced tract: 12.5 to 16.7 acres. A tract that has not been reduced has no minimum.
Navarro CAD posts the 1-d-1 application, the TPWD plan form (PWD 885) and the annual report form (PWD 888) on its forms page.

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 Navarro 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.

With Navarro Central Appraisal District in Corsicana, along with the 1-d-1 application, by April 30. We prepare your plan and help you file it.
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.
It changes what the wildlife has nearby. Lake and bottomland next door means more movement, so a plan focuses on giving deer a reason to stay on your ground: cover, food and quiet.
