Can a person kill two whitetail bucks in a county with a 2 buck limit and then go to a county with a 1 buck limit and kill another buck? Thought I was knowledgeable, but I have gone stupid on myself.

Not be an SA or a Clown here, but legally, you can kill the following number of white tail bucks in Texas, and this is all counties that have a season for white tails. The important number to remember, and there are some exceptions to this, but the important number is 3. That is the State Wide limit for buck white tail deer in Texas. From there, you have to look at the limit in the county/counties you hunt in. Some counties are 3 buck counties. Some are 2 buck counties. Some are 1 buck counties. As long as you do not exceed the state wide limit of 3 OR the limit established for the county/counties you are hunting in, you are okay. You can kill all 3 bucks in one of the 3 buck counites. Or you can kill one buck in three diferent 3 buck counties. You can kill one buck in 3 different one buck counties. Or you can kill 2 bucks in a two buck county and one buck in a differt 1, 2, or 3 buck county, or you can kill 1 buck in three different 2 buck counties. Then all that is necessary, is to keep that number 3, the state wide limit in mind, then find out what the limit is on bucks in the county/counties you are hunting in, and just do not exceed the limit in any individual county or the state wide limit of 3 and you will be in good shape.

Was ready to argue but checked before I made a fool out of myself. Thank goodness. There used to be a tag designated as 1 buck county but not anymore. Thanks for the question and response, I learned something useful from it for sure.
Dozer, mulched, and trackhoe work. Fencelines, senderos, tanks. Let me know if I can help with any dirtwork or construction.

So, I can kill 1 buck from a 1 buck county and 2 bucks from a 2 buck county or 2 bucks from a 2 buck county and 1 buck from another 2 buck county and I am within the law?
If this is correct, did it change recently, or am I just getting dumber? (Don't answer the last question.)

Back in the old days they had that 1 buck county tag that got a slew of people tickets. It was confusing and if you used the wrong tag well just hope you didn't get checked....buddy found out the hard way....lets just say he didn't have any extra cash for a few months.

Please refer back to my original answer.
Come on folks this ain't rocket science here.
As long as you DO NOT kill more than 3 bucks state wide, and this is not talking about places with MLD permits, or deer taken on the state run management hunts, and you DO NOT exceed the limit in the counties you are hunting, it is okay.

CH is right on the money....and once you have used all your tags (and had the money) you can go to a MLD permitted ranch and kill as many as your bank account allows or MLD ranch allowed
Think you can/Think you can't/Either way you're right

yes, i researched this a couple of years ago because we have a lease in menard 2 buck and madison 1 buck, you still have a 5 deer limit so i can either kill 2 buck and 3 doe in menard or 2 bucks 2 doe in menard and 1 buck in Madison, or 2 bucks in menard 1 doe and 1 doe and 1 buc in madison....

that still would be poor management if you decided to, though.

Hunting is more to me than Antlers on the wall. It's more about the memories you make, and sharing those memories with friends, and family.

HuntingLegend....I dont think it would be bad managment at all on my part, we need to kill a few doe in madison, biologist have said that, and we have a couple of 5 year old deer that are ready, we manage m'ville very strict, 18000 acres co-op land owner program...Menard I could kill 2 mature bucks or a buck and a doe, now it would be better if i killed 2 doe and one buck but that area could easily sustain and thrive from proper selection, not numbers as much

no, that's a funny question. One buck, only. Unless you have a lease in a two buck county then you can kill one there also. You can't go county to county killing deer. Think abour it..
