How many 13” or better bucks statewide can you take?

[robbyreneeward]

I take that to mean one 13" buck in a different AR county until your 3 buck limit is reached. But only one in each AR county.

If this is the case, wonder what the reasoning was to include that last sentence in the regs about bucks in other counties?

TPWD gives away these little books with all the rules and regs.. You might want to get one and read it.. Some of these guys answering you should do the same..

To reaffirm that you can take another 13 in another county and that your statewide buck limit still applies and is not limited by your county limit.

My guess is it’s to explain your options in Liberty County specifically. If you tagged out in Liberty county by harvesting one buck greater than 13”, one unbranched antlered buck, and two does, you would have met the limit of Liberty county, but you’d still have a tag left for the state. They then clarify that you may harvest 1 additional buck greater than 13” from another AR county.

I would say it’s safe to assume that most hunters in Texas don’t get to hunt multiple counties so they make the descriptions for each county very specific. You have two regulations to follow. The state provides your license with 5 tags. Two of those tags are antlerless only and the other 3 are buck or antlerless. How you fill those is up to you as long as you don’t exceed the harvest limits for the county/counties you hunt in. You cannot kill more than 3 bucks, but you could also kill 5 does and zero bucks so long as you don’t exceed the limits for the counties they are taken in.

There’s some severe misinformation that was given on this thread. I suggest some of y’all brush up on your outdoor annuals.

I dont know about "severe".
The only misinformation I saw was that a 3rd 13" buck had to come from a non AR county. It was wrong but it did err on the side of caution.

It has been many years since they divided the state into zones regarding Antler Restrictions. back when they were implemented, you were only allowed ONE buck greater than 13" in each zone.

not the case any longer. Its been up to 3 bucks greater than 13" total as long as you are hunting different counties and you dont exceed the county bag limits you are hunting in. Been that way for quite some time

I have 15 acres in Sulphur Springs that I might consider selling if interested.
