Hunting in Runnels County: Deer, Dove, and Turkey

For the 2025–2026 season, the white-tailed deer bag limit in Runnels County was 5 deer total, with no more than 2 bucks across all seasons combined. Turkey hunters could take up to 4 birds per year. Dove hunters in the county were allowed 15 doves per day in aggregate and needed both a hunting license and a Migratory Game Bird Endorsement plus HIP certification.

Texas requires hunters to report deer and turkey harvests through the TPWD "Texas Hunt & Fish" app or the TPWD website, and that reporting is mandatory, not optional. Almost all hunting in this county is on private land, so you need landowner permission. Seasons and bag limits are set each year by TPWD; check the current Outdoor Annual at tpwd.texas.gov before you hunt.
