Media Contact: Steve Lightfoot, 512-389-4701, steve.lightfoot@tpwd.texas.gov Aug. 23, 2013 Use of Dogs Only to Trail Wounded Deer Approved in 12 More Texas Counties AUSTIN – Hunters will be allowed to use up to two dogs only to trail a wounded deer in 12 additional counties in East Texas during the 2013-14 deer season under a rule change approved by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission. The rule change does not legalize the use of dogs to hunt, pursue or take deer; that practice remains illegal statewide in Texas. Hunters are allowed to use up to two dogs only for the purpose of trailing a wounded deer in all but 10 Texas counties. Counties where the practice of trailing wounded deer with dogs remains prohibited include: Angelina, Hardin, Jasper, Nacogdoches, Newton, Orange, Sabine, San Augustine, Shelby and Tyler. this is the article I was referring to , seems to be a little more research to be done to get to the real deal lol Title: Re: Trailing wounded deer with dog Post by: charles on October 09, 2013, 12:23:22 pm Another research method would be to pick up the phone n call the local warden station and get the info right the horse its self. A visit in person with the answer in writting with name n badge number of the warden giving out the info just to CYA
Title: Re: Trailing wounded deer with dog Post by: Rooterhound on October 09, 2013, 12:27:05 pm Thanks guys thats what I was looking for and couldn't seem to find. Maybe one day they will wise up and allow it in all counties. So many wounded deer on the lease that are never found.
