Hunting in Colorado County: What Seasons Apply

IH-10 is the odd line in Colorado County's hunting rules. For dove, land north of the highway falls in the Central Zone, while the south side falls in the South Zone. Columbus is the county seat on the TPWD screen, but the same county splits by that road for dove and several migratory birds.

The stamp notes matter as much as the dates. Dove, rails, snipe, and woodcock need the Migratory Game Bird Endorsement plus HIP certification. Duck, goose, and teal add the Federal Duck Stamp. Wild turkey points to the Upland Game Bird Endorsement.

White-tailed deer has its own section, and spring turkey is in the one-turkey county group: one gobbler. Alligator is on the county screen too. For a lease near Weimar, Eagle Lake, or Columbus, match the road side, animal, zone, and stamp note in the Outdoor Annual while plans are still easy to change.
