Gray County Allows Both White-Tailed and Mule Deer Hunting
Hunters in Gray County can pursue white-tailed deer, mule deer, and pronghorn under Texas Parks and Wildlife rules — but bag limits and seasons differ for each.
Gray County sits in Texas Parks and Wildlife's North Zone for white-tailed deer. The bag limit is 5 deer total per season, with no more than 1 buck. General season typically runs from early November through early January. Mule deer hunting is also open here, with a 1-buck limit and a shorter general season in late November.
Pronghorn hunting in this area is permit-only. Permits go to landowners or their agents where huntable populations exist. If you are not the landowner, you need written permission to hunt pronghorn. Always check the current Texas Parks and Wildlife Outdoor Annual for exact dates and bag limits before you go — seasons and rules can change year to year.
