Zavala County offers deer, dove, and javelina hunting under South Zone rules

For white-tailed deer, the general season runs from November through mid-January. The bag limit in the current TPWD outdoor annual is 5 deer, with no more than 3 bucks. Turkey season follows a similar window, with a bag limit of 4 gobblers or bearded hens.

Javelina has a nearly year-round season here. Dove falls under the South Zone calendar. Quail, duck, and other species also have open seasons — check the TPWD Outdoor Annual for the exact dates each year, since seasons and limits can change. All hunters need a valid Texas hunting license. Harvest reporting for deer and turkey is required through the Texas Hunt and Fish app.
