thanks

does that mean these co. listed are now a 2 buck co. so i can kill a big spike in bow seaseon and a big mature buck in general season

Or you can kill a big spike during gun season, along with a big mature buck. It don't matter what season, as long as only one of the animals you kill is a spike.

I may be a littel slow does that mean you can kill two bucks in the first four counties listed, or all of the listed counties?

tpwd law are written so vaguely(sp) they are hard to understand

the tabc does the same with alcohol laws?!

Yeah, the laws do seem vague. Sometimes I think
purposely so.
Here's my understanding:
Assuming we still get 3 buck tags and assuming
we will still be under the "by county" rather
than the old "by zone" restrictions, you can
kill 1 or 2 bucks with at least 1 un-branched
antler in the antler restriction counties. You
can kill 1 buck with an un-branched antler and you
can kill 1 buck with 2 branched antlers with at
least a 13" inside spread but you can only kill
1 buck with 2 branched antlers and a 13" inside
spread per county with antler restrictions. Now,
if you have killed your bag limit in 1 county you
can still hunt in another county and complete your
state bag limit taking a buck deemed legal by that
counties restrictions.
Wow, maby I should get a job writing for the TPWD.
I'm every bit as confusing as they are.
If someone can discombobulate this more better jump in.
