No question is a dumb question if you don't know the answer. Dumb might be the ones who bash the person who asked the question.

If a Spike is outside the ears , is it still a spike ?

Regardless of the "filler" answers....its a legit question. Not all hunters on here are seasoned hunters and when it comes to AR counties, its nice to see someone ensuring they are legal vs shooting anything that comes out. I quit hunting AR counties in E Texas because of the hunters who were out there hunting like it was 1986. Hard to control a herd with paw paw meat hunting. Yes I know you can't eat horns, but a quality buck is a sign of good management plan.
Good on you OP. Keep up the good work.

I'm not sure how you guys that have been in Texas most or all of your lives don't know the rules!!

Sorry, this was in no way pointed toward the OP. I'm talking about the people giving false advise to the people asking questions. I see on here all the time people giving advise and then being corrected because they don't read the rules.

Either get a copy of the Outdoor Annual from anywhere that sells licenses or download the Outdoor Annual app for most any phone. And read through it carefully. I do this every year so some obscure change doesn't "bite me"...
I know it's been answered but yes as long as 1 antler is unbranced width doesn't come into play. You can still take another one over 13" as long as you abide by the county rules. They can sometimes be less than 4 deer/2 bucks.

Are y'all serious? I can actually see why the question was asked. The answer was posted in a screenshot of the regs. Not sure why it's so unbelievable that someone may not know the answer... everyone was a beginner at hunting, new to this state, or new to a county eith AR, at one point. We weren't born knowing everything... oh and the spike/unbranched antler argument again? Really? Everyone knew what he meant. Must we really debate the semantics?

Right? I was in Cabelas a couple of year ago. I over heard this gentlemen (50ish) telling a guy (30ish) new to hunting about the round restriction. I politely told him there was no round restriction in Texas. He started telling me how he had been hunting all of his life in Texas yada yada. I let him finish then walked up to the counter and got him a rule book. When I showed him the no round restriction rule he got mad and told me it must have just changed. I politely told him that I have been hunting in Texas since 2010 and it has been that way since I have been here. He got even more mad and walked off. I helped the younger with a few other things and left. LOL
