thanks for the input

I guess West Texas doesn't exist based on your vegetation map? The only state in the nation with no western half I guess. No south Texas, no gulf Texas and no south border Texas region either. No western Colorado, No western Oregon, western New Mexico etc. Fascinating!!

I was hunting between Lubbock and Abilene in West Texas.

Technically, JG Raider is correct. That’s the way we were taught at TAMU in Wildlife & Fisheries Science.

But, being born and raised in Abilene, and Ranching in Stonewall County all my life, the Locals and old timers here have always called it “West Texas”.

My Midland friends have always objected, though, saying West Texas begins there. 🤠
