WHITE-TAILED DEER HARVEST RESTRICTIONS (as used in County Listings):
• MANAGED LANDS DEER (MLD) PERMITS: Permits issued to landowners with a TPWD-approved
Wildlife Management Plan. MLD permits allow hunters, at the discretion of the landowner or agent,
to exceed the county bag limit and (in some cases) to hunt during an extended season. All deer
taken on a property for which MLD permits have been issued must be tagged with the
appropriate type of MLD permit. NOTE: No license log entry or tag from a hunting license is
required for deer killed under a MLD permit (see license log requirement, pg. 65)
MLD is like a seperate hunting state with it's own rules and regs.say if the ratio is out of wack and they want to get it on track but the bag limit that's set state wide won't allow for such accomplishments then they can raise the limit to the the ratio back on track or they can request an extended season.
however if your not hunting on MLD property (wich i'm sure you know if you are or not) or you do not have a MLD permit , this whole paragraph does not pertain to anything regarding your hunting needs, you can aswell skip it.
here in SC we have several game zones , there are multiple county's in a gamezone but yet , rules differ from county to county , so i always have to be carefull to read the rules to where ever i may go hunting that trip , some places you can't just shoot anything , some places you can only hunt certain days, some have rack size limits... it's a mess for sure ...but i always make sure i know the regs before i enter the property on wich i'm planning to take a game animal.
