Kenedy County Hunting Depends on Seasons and Access

Deer, turkey, dove, quail, and waterfowl all show up on Kenedy County's TPWD page. For 2025-2026, the white-tailed deer limit is 5 deer, no more than 3 bucks. Quail are 15 birds a day, and turkey has a 4-bird annual limit in Brooks, Kenedy, Kleberg, and Willacy counties.

Access is the local reality. Much of the county remains in large ranch holdings tied to the Kenedy, King, Armstrong, and Yturria interests. Hunting leases and ecotourism are part of the local economy.

The rules sheet and the lease both matter. TPWD gives the season; written permission gives the gate.
