Hunting and fishing licenses for Brazos County

TPWD requires a hunting or freshwater fishing license for most people taking fish, game, or wildlife from public waters or public land. Children under 17 do not need a freshwater fishing license. Youth hunters still need the youth hunting license. Private land does not automatically remove the hunting-license rule.

For white-tailed deer in Brazos County, the general bag limit is four deer, with no more than two bucks. Only one of those bucks may have an inside spread of 13 inches or more. Seasons and limits change, so use the current Outdoor Annual. Most Brazos County hunting happens on private land. Public hunting options nearby should be checked through TPWD's public hunting map.
