Baggage limits are set by county. No person shall exceed the annual catch of five white-tailed deer, including not more than three males. The annual baggage limit does not apply to MLDP properties. An annual hunting license contains 3 tags that can be used on antlerless deer or deer. Since the pocket limit for white-tailed deer is set by Texas County, a hunter can shoot 3 males over 13 inches in 3 different counties with timber restriction regulations. The protocol allows a hunter to record up to 3 harvested males and indicate if the deer were caught in antler restriction areas, as well as if the males were taller than 13 inches. The white-tailed deer stump, located on the back of a hunting license, is also used by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) rangers to enforce white-tailed deer limits. CWD is a fatal disease found in white-tailed deer, mule deer, moose and red deer in localized areas of Texas. To detect and treat this disease, the Department has designated CWD zones. Hunters fishing for mule deer, white-tailed deer, moose or other exotic CWD-sensitive species in CWD areas must bring their animals to a TPWD checkpoint within 48 hours of harvest. Hunters must inspect each harvested animal and obtain a CWD receipt before removing any part of that animal from the CWD area, including meat or quartered pieces. In counties where the late season is special, harvesting is limited to antlerless and unbranched deer with antlers (a male with at least one antler that has no more than one tip).

A point is a projection that extends at least one inch from the edge of a main beam or other length. The tip of the high beams is also a point. The hunter`s question above is usually about harvesting males in Texas, but I suspect he is specifically asking about harvesting males in other woodland restriction districts. Fortunately, deer hunting regulations in Texas are set based on bag restrictions. Timber restrictions apply in some counties. In these counties, the pocket limit is two legal dollars, but only one can have an inside spread of 13 inches or more. In these counties, a legal deer is defined as a deer with: Bob, the best strategy in the field is to use earplugs as a guide. Even the TPWD guide shows/suggests that a goat is 13 inches from the tip of the ear to the end of the ear when the ears are in the alarm position. In my experience, this is usually a good rule of thumb for 2-3 year olds. Older males and deer with larger bodies found in managed areas usually have greater spread from ear to ear, so using the measurement between the ears as a guide can trick a hunter into thinking the male is too small. Everyone, the answer to your question is yes.

There are 3 dollar tags on a Texas hunting license. Limits for deer hunting bags are set based on county. If you hunt in 3 Texas counties with timber restrictions, you can shoot a male with an inner wood greater than 13 inches in each county. The important point is that each male must be harvested in a different county. Whether during the season or on the same day, what would be a hell of a day! Mike, the limit for white-tailed deer in Edwards County is 5 deer, no more than $2. Yes, any deer with antlers is a legal male in your county, regardless of antler size, stitches or indoor sprawl. The tag can be affixed anywhere to a deer so that it is not damaged, disfigured or lost during transport or handling. In the case of deer, the appropriate mark or authorization must remain affixed until the deer reaches its final destination and is quartered. If the deer`s head is separated from the carcass (body), the appropriate marking or authorization must remain attached to its carcass. If the head does not accompany the carcass, the head must be accompanied by a wildlife resource document. A deer with hardened antlers protruding through the skin.

Deer with antlers completely covered with velvet (protruding through the skin) are also considered deer. A deer must be marked with a deer tag or an appropriate tag or permit. For marking purposes, all other deer are antlerless deer, regardless of gender. Note: If you`re shooting even one deer in Texas, you`ll want to complete the harvest log. If you are controlled by a ranger, even if you fish later in the year and you are missing deer tags, they will point to that tree trunk at the back.
