I noticed the same thing. The outfit has a good reputation. That is about all I can go off of at the moment. He gave me three date options that had not been booked yet. I picked the opening day option.
Just letting you know he ain't legal yet

No restrictions here, 5 deer, no more than 3 bucks.
But that buck needs another 2 years.
Should still have the 13" inside the beams restriction.
Exactly this. Antler restrictions are good in theory but only that.There are no antler restrictions here, but as responsible hunter, only mature or cull bucks go.
At our family farm, I hunted there for over 25yrs, that county has antler restrictions. The restrictions were good, overall it increase antler size and body size of the deer population. The problem is not all bucks is a one size fits all approach.
I could remember at least 12 to 14 bucks that didn't meet the antler restrictions, they were too narrow, but they were also old, all like 4.5ys plus. You couldn't shoot them, but they needed to be culled. The problem is that those bucks continue to breed for a couple more years, and it passes the crappy genetics off to thier offspring. In some areas that could potentially leave the land owner with very few options in harvesting only spikes and no bucks with a 13in min spread, ear to ear.
Important to have your management practices, or TPWD/Govt will be quick to implement one for us down here.

No thank God it's not. @thekidcatchers county, they have so few people and so many deer that you can kill whatever you want pretty much. No restrictions whatsoeverOh I have seen lots of the narrow & tall bucks that should be taken. I thought all of Texas was under the 13" rule now; I had to look it up.
