Hunting Seasons Practical

Kerr County has strong deer and turkey hunting seasons

Kerr County The Great Outdoors

White-tailed deer shape the fall calendar across the Edwards Plateau, and Kerr County sits in TPWD's North Zone. The county listing sets the deer and turkey seasons, bag limits, and special youth or archery dates for each license year.

The county cap for deer has limits on total deer and bucks, and turkey has its own fall and spring windows. TPWD also requires harvest reporting for deer and turkey through the app or online system.

Do not rely on last year's dates. The TPWD Outdoor Annual is the official county-by-county source before a Hill Country hunt.
