Stumbled upon this fine website/forum last year when I was looking to start hunting here in Texas. Since then I frequent the forum when I'm bored, need a good laugh, or if I'm looking for some good advice from some knowledgeable hunters (old wise guys). I will say that I have learned a lot about hunting, hunters, laws, and common sense just from reading through the posts on here, so thank you for posting on here, and helping out a young whipper-snapper.

However, I now have a question that I have had a hard time finding a solid absolute answer to. Can I take my handgun with me into the field while hunting at Caddo National Grasslands WMA?? I plan on hunting with ol' betsy (700 adl .270) but wouldn't mind carrying along the sidekick in the event of hogs, or a close shot. Searched here on the forum but couldn't turn anything up, thanks in advance fellers.

Weather Forecast for this weekend looks absolutely superb, have a good time out there, be safe, and enjoy creation.

Yes, you can !

Handguns, at least for the last few years, have been OK there. (I've not checked regs this year.) In fact, buddy and I got in habit of hog hunting there with handguns only. Much handier in heavy cover.
