Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologists predict a fruitful white-tailed deer season in many regions of the state. Although conditions are drying statewide, rains in September were critical for providing good deer nutrition. The general deer season runs from Nov. 7 through Jan. 3, 2021, in the North Zone and Jan. 17, 2021, in the South Zone. An impressive youth-only gun deer season is Oct. 31- Nov. 1 and Jan. 4-17, 2021.
