Hunters looking at Frio County hunting map usually want two things: where the public ground is, and who owns the private tracts next to it near Bigfoot. Here's how to use the official Frio County map for it, and where the map stops helping.
This guide goes from the Frio County parcel map to a polite permission request for ground near Dilley, with notes on public land and regulations.

Open the Frio County parcel viewer, turn on aerial imagery, and pan the timber and field edges around Dilley; click a tract to see the titleholder and acreage. Note which Frio County tracts touch a road; landlocked ground near Moore needs the owner's route in, not just permission.

Staying on the right side of the line
Lines near Dilley aren't marked on the ground, so load the county corners into a GPS before the hunt.
