Deer
Breeder Permits
The
Deer Breeder Permit (DBP) allows landowners to hold, breed,
sell, and/or restock properties with privately
managed white-tailed deer herds. It is
important to understand that
under
this permit, you
can propagate,
sell, or purchase
these deer similar to other forms of
livestock. To handle any other white-tailed deer found in
the state of Texas, different permits are required.
As well as being breeders ourselves,
