    Then he needs to go. Ask your local game warden and show him the pictures.

    He will say he is under 13 Lol

I've seen it personally and have first hand knowledge, if the deer is obviously mature and you can provide proof, the State will allow it. It's obviously a mature deer that may never be 13".. that doesn't mean you can't kill a 5 year old 10-12 point just because he is at 11". I would honestly take that picture to your local GW and explain it, ask him what he thinks. Proof of maturity is the point behind the regulation.

      Game Wardens can’t give you permission to break the law.

          Most Texas Laws say you “may” a few say you “shall” which leaves no discretion. A game warden has no discretion in this law! Either it is 13 and legal or it is not and it is illegal. The fine and punitive punishment wouldn’t be worth taking a chance.

            I'd call and talk to your local game warden about it for sure. Only consideration is that you'd probably have to process the deer yourself due to the law being in place and most processors won't take an illegal deer.

            Definitely a shooter buck. The 13" law was not made for that deer!

              Ground check him!

              Then if you get checked the odds of the game warden giving you a ticket are slim. Def a risk id be willing to take on a deer like that
