Yes, any deer with antlers is a legal buck in your county regardless of antler size, points or inside spread. Kenny, the answer to your question is yes. You can shoot a buck with an inside spread of 13 inches or greater is 2 counties… actually, in 3 counties. An annual hunting license includes 3 tags that can be used on buck or antlerless deer. Bob, the best strategy in the field is to use the ear tip to ear tip spread as a guide.
From my experience, this is generally a good rule of thumb on year old bucks. Older bucks and larger-bodied deer found in managed areas will generally have a larger ear tip to ear tip spread, so using the measurement between the ears as a guide may mislead a hunter into thinking the buck is too small. Even with knowing there is some variances, the best way is to use the ear tip to ear tip spread.
Kade, the answer to your question is yes. You can go to another county and shoot another buck larger than 13 inches since the deer hunting bag limits are by county. Chris, the answer to your question is yes.
The deer harvest regulations are by county. If you look at the back of a Texas deer hunting license you will notice that there are 3 rows for buck harvest specifics. Each of these rows allows a hunter to denote if the buck has a 13 inch or greater inside spread. A hunter can actually shoot 3 bucks greater than 13 inches in 3 different antler restriction counties in Texas… as long as they have permission to hunt on those various properties!
Can I shoot two bucks in the same day morning or evening in two different counties with 13 spreads. Allen, the answer to your question is yes. There are 3 buck tags on a Texas hunting license. The long tail is used as a sort of signal to other deer. Mule deer, also found in the state, do not have this feature. Their tail is also much smaller and comes in a variety of colors and tans. White-tailed deer inhabit most of the state — all but two of Texas' counties in the state — and can be seen in almost every setting imaginable.
You might even get lucky seeing one in your front yard or at a local greenspace. But where is the best place to hunt and harvest your own trophy buck? Handling a rifle is awkward inside the vehicle, which is what makes riding with a loaded rifle so dangerous. Aside from rifles and driving to the hunting lease you're far more likely to be injured by a car wreck than a hunting accident , the most dangerous part of deer hunting is climbing into an elevated blind.
It's easy to lose your balance and fall, particularly in the dark, encumbered by a rifle over one shoulder and a pack over the other.
If your ladder is the least bit difficult to climb, carry your rifle unloaded up first and place it safely in the blind. Then climb back down for another load. Don't forget to load the rifle once you're situated in the blind and unload it before starting down. Metal stairways that replace vertical ladders are the best deer hunting safety development in years.
Stock up on ammunition before heading for a rural hunting lease. If you have a rifle problem that requires resighting, several shots may be required.
You cannot rely on a local hardware store in rural Texas to stock the brand of ammunition, bullet design and bullet weight that you prefer.
No hunter education certificate: Every hunter born on or after Sept. Improperly tagged deer: Use a knife or scissors to cut out the date of harvest and an ink pen to write the appropriate information on the tag.
Harvest log violation: Use your pen to duplicate the tag information on the hunting license harvest log printed on the back of your license. Untagged deer: The deer must be tagged with the appropriate hunting license tag as soon as it is recovered.
Your hunting gear should include tape, wire or some other means of attaching the tag to the carcass. Hunting without a license: Every hunter, regardless of age, must have a hunting license. Details by calling Jones St.
