Deer and Turkey Hunting in Dimmit County (South Zone)

A Dimmit County deer lease lives in the South Zone, not in a generic 'Texas season.' For the 2025-2026 Outdoor Annual, TPWD lists the white-tailed deer bag at five deer, with no more than three bucks. That county page is also where the general season, archery window, youth dates, and special late season sit together in one place.

Managed Lands Deer Program tags can change the conversation on a ranch. TPWD says that when MLDP buck or antlerless tags have been issued for a property, harvest is by MLDP tag only, and the landowner or designated agent provides those tags to hunters. In porch English: if you are hunting somebody else's Dimmit place, the ranch's tag setup matters as much as the statewide-looking limit.

Turkey has its own wrinkle. TPWD lists Dimmit in the South Zone for Rio Grande turkey, with a four-bird annual bag for gobblers or bearded hens, and the county page calls for mandatory harvest reporting through the Texas Hunt & Fish app or online.
