[QUOTE=head;2688456]Thanks for mentioning that. I was going to say that the DCNF covers a few counties.[/QUOTE

you can shoot a doe in dcnf oct 2 -nov 5 with a bow only... thanx i looked in to it never knew it b4 and this year is my first bow season looks like "doe season" to me

Yep, two does during archery season in Trinity or Houston. I have to look at the book, but I believe in muzzle loader you can harvest does too. The doe permits are for the Alabama Creek WMA that you apply for. That's a beautiful area. I used to buy my APH all the time for it, but since we acquired a house out there in Trinity county, I haven't messed with it much anymore. The Neches run's through part of it.

Keep in mind though, Houston and Trinity are both under antler restriction. I'm excited to see how Trinity pans out in another 3 or so years. Plenty of deer out there, but you have to work for it and do your home work. I'm heading that way Thursday night.

they said the doe permits you enter to wind or draw , is only good for managed part of the forest, you have to have the 48 dollar permit to use the doe permits

other wise the genrel hunting is left to the county laws, well does anyone know what the county laws are ?
