You

What you pay, and in several states what you are even offered.

Residency

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department prices residents and non-residents differently, and sells some tags to only one of them.

Licences

Without one of these there is no legal way to hunt deer here.

Nothing in your wallet yet

Tick what you hold and the calendar starts answering for you rather than for everybody. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department sells them at the link below.

Prices are what the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department printed for 2026-27, and are here to help you recognise a tag rather than to sell you one.

Texas deer seasons, 2026-27

Texas’s 2026-27 deer seasons run October 3, 2026 to January 31, 2027, and what is open on a given day depends on the county your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the county off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.

Every screen for Texas

  • Today in Texas — Whether the season is open at your pin this morning, what you may take, and the legal light either end of the day.
  • Map in Texas — Drop a pin and see the unit, the public land and the property lines under it.
  • Weather in Texas — Wind, temperature and the scent cone over your ground, hour by hour, for the days you can still choose between.
  • Calendar in Texas — Every day your tags are good for in your unit, from opening day to the end of the season.
  • Rut in Texas — When the rut runs where you hunt, and which week is worth taking off.
  • Rules in Texas — The legal arms, bag limits, antler restrictions and shooting hours that apply at your pin.
  • Tags in Texas — The licences and permits you hold — what turns the published season into your season.

The other states

Every state — the app opens on whichever one your own pin falls in.
