Throckmorton County The Great Outdoors

White-tailed deer hunters in Throckmorton County can take up to five deer per season, with no more than two bucks. The general season runs in November through early January. An archery-only season opens in late September and requires an archery endorsement. A youth-only season also runs in October and again in January.

Wild turkey hunting follows the North Zone rules. Fall season runs concurrently with the general deer season. Spring gobbler season typically runs late March through mid-May. The annual bag limit is four turkeys across all counties combined. Turkey harvest must be reported through the TPWD app or website. Quail season also runs from November through late February with a daily limit of 15. Always check the TPWD Outdoor Annual for current season dates before you go, since dates can change year to year.
