My place is in Freestone county and they are still alittle backwards thinking on does. The 13" rule is in effect and has worked . Problem is we can't take any does other than bow season. You know how crafty they are to hunt with a bow! We are run over with does.Sometimes up to 20 to 1 does to buck. By not allowing does the meat hunters are killing way to many bucks outside the law. Parts of Texas allows does and some don't. We try to manage our herd but as said earlier you can only do so much.the state can mandate rules but the landowner has to follow up on it to work properly.
