Strong Deer Season Underway
| It’s time to break out the blaze orange – white-tailed deer general season is underway and the forecast looks good.Texas’ whitetail population is estimated at 5 million, making it the largest in the country. In areas with high deer populations, like the Edwards Plateau and Cross Timbers Region, you are encouraged to utilize your antlerless tags to help manage the population.Refer to the Outdoor Annual for all your whitetail regulations, including statewide bag limits, specific county limits and antler restrictions. Download the free Texas Hunt & Fish app, a handy tool for digital tagging, reporting your harvest and locating voluntary CWD check stations. You can also report your harvest online.Find out more about whitetails in Texas with our new resource White-tailed Deer Management.
