HIGHLIGHTS OF HUNTING REGULATION CHANGES

The following are brief descriptions of regulation changes for 2007-2008 seasons. Although this section is a handy reference, you still must be familiar with all laws that apply to a particular season. For more details, please consult the appropriate regulations in this publication.

• Hunter Education requirements have changed.

• Deer buck and doe limits and antlerless hunting days have changed.

• Youth now have a chance to kill both a buck and a doe during Youth Deer Gun season.

• Elk hunting on private lands in Caddo, Comanche, and Kiowa counties has been split into two zones, east and west, using Hwy. 115 as the dividing line. Hunting dates differ by zone.
