What's the fine

[wrangler1]

I just had a buddy tell me the fine for shooting a deer that does not make the width, if the county has the regulation, is $2000. Is that true? Sounds steep, just curious.

I've heard a ticket for around $500 and the GW keeps the deer

Plus you're gonna get hit with a bill from the state for restitution. I could see it coming close to 2K before it's all said and done. Definitely not worth it, no matter how much it is......

[Smart]

I am not positive of the amount, but I think the restitution is what gets ya...

[bowhuntingw]

up to $500 plus civil restitution

I know there was a thread here last year about someone shooting a deer under 13" in east Texas.

[Passthrough]

There was one shot in Hagerman last year under the minimum. I know he is hunting this weekend again. Maybe he'll chime in with a first hand account!

[Ryan M.]

Uh oh did u shoot one? Haha just kidding.

If you wonder if a deer is close, don't shoot. Plain and simple. Wait for a "I know he makes it" buck...
If you have to have venison, shoot a doe.

Sounds like if you did shoot one a little narrow it would not be worth bring out of the woods.
