White-tailed deer hunters heading to blinds for the archery-only season should experience another great opener this year. “Historically good fawn recruitment over the last several years will provide archery hunters plenty of opportunities to bag a quality buck,” said Blaise Korzekwa, White-tailed Deer Program Leader. For additional late season deer hunting opportunities, county specific regulations and information on how to properly tag and report a harvest, consult the 2025-26 Outdoor Annual. Archery hunters are required to purchase an Archery Endorsement in addition to their hunting license. Hunters taking advantage of Texas Public Hunting Lands must have the Annual Public Hunting Permit.
