Some of these guys get up to 8 feet long and 150 lbs. I strongly recommend using a local hunting outfitter.

Hunters are required to call the 1-888-940-LION (5466) number for GMU closures prior to any hunting trip. You must check daily to make sure the unit you want to hunt is open. Units close when harvest limits are reached. Call no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before your hunting trip for a recording of closed units. If a unit is closed, you must pick a different unit. It is unlawful to hunt in a unit after it is closed.

• First, and most importantly, you’ve got to get yourself into shape!
• Second, shoot your hunting rifle.
• Third, get the best gear you can.
• Lastly, buy or rent some good mule deer hunting videos.

You may be wondering what is the difference between horns and antlers – well – horns don’t shed! Once a Texas Longhorn has long horns, they stay put! Big horn sheep keep their horns as a form of defense.
