I have seen this before, honestly Game Wardens have enough clout in what they do that if you were a convicted felon and called them up and said something to the matter of....

"Hey, Mr. Warden I will be hunting at ________ location and I will be there at 10am this Thursday and would like to discuss my options, would you meet me there so I can confirm some laws?"

Meet the warden there with a copy of any paperwork you have and especailly is you have been cleared for a number of years (5 or more) and can get a Sheriffs dupty to confirm your progress on a UNOFFICIAL level from a private phone call from Warden to LEO

I have known several people who did this and simply had the understanding the if a certain individual was in possesion of a .270 on private property with written permission then it was not big deal.....

However this weapon and any others did not need to be in their possesion on public roads or public property.

He has to have been "off paper" for 5 years. BUT you will need to consult an attorney in your county to make sure, just in case there are any issues with local judges etc.

He can also go before a judge and show cause/need to be able to have a firearm and the judge can sign off on it but you will need an attorney for that also.



I didn't learn this by seeing it on TV, I learned it by doing it.

If he's gonna hunt in Hays Co. just send me a PM as to where and I'll handle the rest.

To TTOutdoorsman,
That's the dumbest post I've ever seen anyone post....EVER.

First the guy admits that he's a convicted felon. Then announces that he hunts his deer lease, and if ever caught, he'll argue that it's his residence. Good luck with that one.

Secondly, he proclaims himself to be a 2nd Amendment supporter that "will not be stripped" of his right to keep and bear arms. Well, I got news for you hot rod...YOU and only YOU committed a felony, thereby stripping yourself of that legal right. Typical convict that wants to blame everyone else for their own sorry plight in life. The author did it to himself and now doesn't like the treatment he's receiving. Cry me an effin' river.

Hey, I got a novel idea, how 'bout we obey the laws and consider potential consequences before we do something stupid that's going to impact the rest of my life.

On second thought, naaaahhh, I'm going for the immediate self gratification and then I'll blame society and the government. Stupid, just plain stupid.

Just get a bow or crossbow and be done with it.

I tend to agree with LP on this one.

Lots of bad advice on this thread, but it was from four years ago. I wonder if the guy is now in the slammer as a result?

Texas law has that provision about 'after the fifth anniversary...in the home' and all. Federal law has no such provision. Federal law trumps state law. Use a muzzle loader or archery, or risk a federal charge.

This topic is a serious matter even if it is an old thread. Better check with a reputable attorney. The consequences would not be fun.
