I didn't know the season in East Texas ever closed.

SHHH

Lawless are they that make their wills their law.......William Shakespeare

Yeah you just can’t tag it until Saturday. Common knowledge. I’d also buy your kids and grandparents license regardless of age.

In East Texas, you can just wait until you kill a deer to buy a license. At least that was what I've been told for years.

Heck, it’s east Texas, bring a spotlight too.

^^^^^^

It doesn't (for some).

But there ARE two different seasons:

Deer Season in the hot months (June thru Sept)
Deer Season in the cooler months (Oct thru May).

I was completely unaware of this....when I moved to Deep East Texas 35 yrs. ago.

I continue to hunt only during the 'legal' season....as I was raised to do (Central Texas). Some folks in these parts....think I am crazy for not taking advantage of the rest of the year.

While nearly everything posted so far has been in jest, East Texas has the reputation that it does for good reason.

A LOT of things that wouldn't fly elsewhere are considered 'Birthright' here.

Kinda like trespassing and crossing the fence onto someone else's property
to hunt even though you have as much or more land to hunt at your disposal?

" Yeah, ol' mister so-and-so always let us hunt or fish or do whatever we wanted
to on this land when he owned it. . . "

Heard this one a bunch ^

My next door neighbor has 1 section (644 acres) near Canton and doesn't care who hunts on it. Said it's family land and will never sell it.

It's kind of like the old rules about being gay in the military...don't ask, don't tell.

So people that shoot deer early in East Texas and tag it Saturday are gay?

I’m really out of the loop on this stuff.

It’s all true…..east Texas is a horrible place. If I was y’all, I would stay far, far away.
I wouldn’t even drive through there if it was me.

Probably not....but if you see some dude in a Pink Camo Boonie Hat, well....................

Damn did I enter the bunker

No spot light?

We have a small ranch in east texas. I have seen Game wardens on the county roads several times. Some are so ignorant they don't realiize even a warden could read this.

Good luck this weekend Okie, Hope y'all see a good one.

Will text you if I do any good. Be safe!

If you boys think east Texas is the wild west of deer hunting let me introduce you to the entire state of Arkansas

that's what I've been told also. This will be my first year hunting in Arkansas.

You going to run dogs after them or do regular style hunting? At least I think they still use chase dogs there.

I am regular hunter, but I was told by a neighbor down the road that lots of people run dogs around my place.
I hope I can keep calm as I watch dogs run through my fields.

Not really much difference in that and having the the hog
doggers come through your fenced and posted land here
( I go where my dogs go) and having them come through
when you're hunting in another state

Arkansas is where I first learned about what a sound shot was
I had no idea that anybody would ever do that
