You can carry on private property regardless right? Good job calling the game warden. I was gonna say don't worry, he'll contact you after this post.

Don't want to high jack your thread, but can you legally carry a pistol with you during bow season in Texas? I know that you can't in Kansas or Oklahoma (unless the game wardens lied to me).

One last question - do you have a concealed carry permit? If not, couldn't the GW have cited you for carrying a firearm during bowseason?
JR I thought the same thing but I bet you the GW doesn't blame him one bit. I don't. I don't own a handgun but I have always thought that was a stupid law. If I had one I would dang sure carry it while hunting. Yes I have a permit to carry, unlike the DB who messed up my hunt I go by the law!! You did good!

Good going, think you handled it great. I might have given the GW everything but the bow, though. If the perp asked about it, I would be like, "What bow?"
PLUS 1 He could have dropped it ANYWHERE.

A CHL allows you to conceal/carry on private property until legally advised you can not carry on a specific property. Non licensed can protect their home and their car.

Keep in mind that if this idiot decides to act out some revenge, it's Retaliation, and in Texas it's a felony. Tampering with a Witness might also come into play.
I worked a similar case years ago. Man went to get in his tree stand only to find his toothless hillbilly neighbor was already in it. The man took the trespasser's gun and loaded him into the truck to take him to the gate where I was going to meet them. En route to the gate the trespasser bailed and ran home.
I went to the judge to get a warrant for his arrest. While I was doing that the idiot trespasser went back to the tree with a gallon of gas and a lighter.
I ended up getting additional warrants for him for Retaliation and Arson.

You can only carry during bow season if you have a chl and keep it concealed. I Donno how that works because , what if you are now hunting hogs ?? You can carry or shoot them with whatever you want so pleanty of people carry a rifle an a bow with them bow for deer an rifle for hogs , should be the same with a pistol

A few have said poachers don't need a liscence. Partly true - partly not. If you're going to get a mount, or have deer processed, it still has to be tagged. Plus, if you get stopped after hunting, (legal or otherwise) the GW may check your liscense / tags. Poachers may tag, but will just lie about where they shot it.
Great story. Please update us again if you hear anymore on the clown...

You need to 1. Contact the Game Warden and turn over his possesions, 2. Go to the local JP/or have the property owner go
and file criminal trespass charges on the individual..
If you keep his junk, you become a correspondent in a crime..after the fact, and have yourself committed one by keeping
property you know not to be yours. Also, by informing the Game Warden and JP/Constable, it put this person on notice and he will
get a lot of attention he hadn't planned on..You'll not have to worry about his return of a license for a few years..Don

For Don. Update folks! I stopped by the landowners and asked if she was letting anyone else hunt. Man, she got pissed to hear what happened and explained I was the only one with hunting rights! So, I called the game warden and sheriff and explained the situation. I met the game warden last night, I gave him everything that was left behind, bow, backpack and license. I could’ve kept it, but the game warden explained it could come back to haunt me. When he confronts the man, he’ll ask about his belongs and he said it’s easier if he says the state has it. I’ll be looking over my shoulder enough while I’m out there, I don’t want to make things worse.
In the end, he’ll get arrested for trespassing and the landowner will press charges – so better him than me. Just sucks that now I have to worry about possibly dealing with this idiot in the future.. I’m hoping for the best, but if I run into him again things will be different.

That is AWESOME!!!! I think you did the right thing and contact the authorities. Man I'd have loved to see his face when he spotted that pistol and the process of him closelining himself on that fence!

Were you on your own place? Bet you were glad you had that pistol. That is awesome tho. not that it matters but recently i heard that if you are bow hunting you are not allowed to have a gun with you of any kind if it is bow season that is. I am not saying that i agree with that, just what i heard.

@guilded
With a chl you can have a pistol
And the only time you can NOT have other guns with you is if you are deer hunting.
