Yoakum County has two deer species and solid dove and quail hunting

Yoakum County has seasons for both white-tailed and mule deer, but the two have different bag and antler rules. A hunting license does not grant access to a ranch. Get the landowner's permission for private land and follow any public-unit rules where those apply.

For 2026-27, the mule-deer limit is one buck for all seasons combined. Its outside spread must be at least 20 inches, even if one antler is unbranched. The white-tailed deer limit is three, with no more than one buck and two antlerless deer.

Dove, quail, and waterfowl each have their own seasons and endorsements. Open the Yoakum County Outdoor Annual page for the species you plan to hunt; a legal deer date does not settle the bird rules.
