Hood's deer page needs a new license-year heading

Hood County The Great Outdoors

Hood County's deer table includes a county bag, buck limits, antler rules, and separate bow, youth, general, and late seasons. Those details belong to the license year printed at the top. In July 2026, the page still showed the closed 2025-2026 year.

Wait for TPWD to post the new Hood table before planning the next hunt. Then read the bag, antler rule, season, and any MLDP instructions together. A remembered 13-inch rule or last year's screenshot is not enough when the page heading has not caught up.
