Several errors published by Mr. Trammell:
1. Deer season in the North zone actually began October 2 with archery season. An archery stamp must be included with the hunting license if bow hunting white-tailed deer. The North zone includes much of Texas from the Panhandle southward to a line from approximately Del Rio to Corpus Christi.
2. Three whitetail bucks may be harvested in much of the South zone.
3. Texas North zone has a late season which occurs from January 3 - January 16. Anterless and “spikes” only may be harvested during this time and extends the season an additional 2 weeks.
4. TPWD has an Outdoor Annual app which is updated yearly and provides accurate information on hunting and fishing laws, bag limits and restrictions in your area by season or individual species of animal.
