Amarillo grew from a Fort Worth and Denver City railroad camp into the hub of Panhandle cattle country, and Route 66 still runs through its Sixth Avenue district. Palo Duro Canyon, the second largest canyon in the country, is half an hour south.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Texas law allows.
Texas adds no state layer to the federal process. There is no purchase permit, no registration and no waiting period, and dealers run the NICS check directly with the FBI. At pickup you show a current photo ID, complete ATF Form 4473 and wait for the check, which usually takes minutes. Federal ages apply: 18 for a lever-action rifle, 21 for a revolver. The firearm ships to the Texas dealer you name, who sets their own transfer fee.
Dealers in these communities all work for Amarillo-area buyers:
Texas has allowed permitless handgun carry since September 2021 for adults 21 and over who may lawfully possess a firearm, openly in a holster or concealed, which covers a single action in a belt holster. The optional License to Carry is issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety and helps with reciprocity and some posted locations. Schools, courthouses, polling places and properly posted private property stay off limits with or without a license.
Texas Parks and Wildlife sets white-tailed deer seasons by county, with a North Zone and a South Zone and separate mule deer rules in the Panhandle and Trans-Pecos. The general season opens on the first Saturday of November and runs into January, with archery from early October and youth weekends around it. Centerfire rifles, handguns, muzzleloaders and shotguns with slugs are legal. Feral hogs may be hunted year-round with a hunting license and landowner permission. Bag limits differ by county, so read the current Outdoor Annual.
Amarillo is in the Texas Panhandle, with mule deer and whitetail along the canyon breaks of the Canadian River and Palo Duro. Most hunting is on private ranches.
The Canadian River breaks and Palo Duro country hold mule deer as well as whitetail, with longer shots than the Hill Country. Big ranches and feedlots fill most of the land around town.
The public ranges on the city pages are run or listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest, chosen by distance from each city. Fees, hours and allowed firearms are set by the agency or the club that manages the range.

Texas sets no minimum caliber for deer with centerfire rifles, but a .357 is a short-range cartridge; keep shots close and use a bullet built for deer.
A .30-30 is the classic choice inside 200 yards; a .45-70 for larger game. Check the state's rules on legal cartridges before you hunt.
Each dealer sets its own fee, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order to confirm the price and that they accept firearms shipped from an online store.
