2020 General Deer Season

[big papa]

I'm looking at a 2020 calendar and was wondering if the Texas General Deer Season will start on Saturday Oct 31 and Sunday November 1, 2020 or Saturday November 7 and Sunday November 8, 2020.

What do y'all think?

Pretty sure rifle ALWAYS starts first Saturday in November. Unlike archery which starts saturday closest to Oct 1st.

Dollar to a doughnut it’s November 7 .
Why change the opener from 1st Saturday in November

It’s been this way for as long as I’ve known and closes first Sunday in January. Exception is counties with late season doe/spike and MLD properties.

It's always the first Saturday in November. Next year it will be on the 7th

The reason I was asking is that several years ago it started on Oct 31. Thanks for the responses.

General season opens the 1st Saturday of November. Archery season opens 6 weeks b4 general season.

Actually, General Season is 1st Saturday in November. Archery opens on the Saturday closest to September 30, not October 1st. Minor difference, but it could make a whole weeks difference in looking at the calendar on some years.
