13" rule per county limits

[PEC]

So if you are in an AR county you can't take a cull 8 pointer with an inside spread of 14", and then take a trophy 12 pt with a spread of 22" a month later during the rut???
(Hypothetically speaking on the points and spreads). But the situation is what I'm talking about.

NO!!! Only one deer greater than 13" spread or maybe yes..the 8pt could be legal if 7pts were on one side.

So 2/3 of my lease is in Liberty county and the other 1/3 is in Jefferson county. Does that mean I can shoot a 13" deer and a spike in one county and then shoot another 13" deer in the other? Then 2 does as well. That changes things a bit.

yep, rule is by county not ranch. I'd say if the ranch covers more than one county you can do exactly what you mentioned above. But that might tick off the other guys on the lease

Where can I find that exact wording in the outdoor manual. Not arguing with you or anything, I just want to read it and get it memorized.

The wording is on page 64. But it is kind of confusing that is why I emaild TPWD to clarify it.

Does it also apply to anterless?
We are allowed to take 2 anterless during archery season. Can I go to another county and shoot 2 more?
I realize I would have to burn on of the "either" tags.
