For recreational harvest (not for sale), there is no closed season for any furbearer. Since there is no value to Texas fur, my season is year round on coyotes, coons and possums

Fox opens October 10 and muskrat, mink, beaver and otter open October 15. Cats open mid December. I’ll put out some rat sets October 15 for a few days to help out a landowner and get some fresh rats for coyote and cat bait. I normally start on coyotes October 20 on my local line. We are at 3750’. I’ll run until Thanksgiving then move my line down to lower elevation until about January 5-10. After that I’m after cats back up at the higher elevation until the season closes in mid February. Then beaver and rats until the end of March. Trail cameras and fresh snow have broke a lot of trapper’s hearts.
