    Antler Restriction Counties

    Can you kill two bucks with an unbranched antler instead of killing one with a 13” or greater spread? Seems people read the law different.

        Good question and following.

        I would interpret that scenario as you can kill one (unbranched) regardless of width. Then another (unbranched) but it would have to be over 13” wide. But curious to see what other have to say in this scenario.

        Edit: looks like I was proven wrong before even hitting post.

            "13 inches does not apply to one with an unbranded antler." Don't know why they just couldn't type., "you can shoot 2 unbranched antler bucks."

                  Yes. You can kill two legal bucks but only ONE can be 13" or greater spread.

                  Per TPWD definition :

                  In antler restricted counties, a legal buck deer is defined as a buck deer with:
                  a hardened antler protruding through the skin AND;
                  at least one unbranched antler; OR
                  an inside spread measurement between main beams of 13 inches or greater (does not apply to a buck that has an unbranched antler).

                        Yes, and they write it trying to sound so smart but instead confusingly but the answer is yes.

                          Yes, you could opt to shoot (2) 1.5 yr old spikes or a 3 point instead of a more mature buck. I wish they would change the law to allow you to kill (2) 13in bucks or greater in the same county. Helps those that have access to several properties located in the same county. Plus 2 bucks is 2 bucks and not everyone will kill a buck much less 2 bucks but the state likes to put a blanket management program in place without taking into consideration other factors

                              What if the spike is older than 1.5 yr old?
