Ok so i need some help. There is a APH hunting permit that can be purchased for 48$. This permit comes with a map and list of places that is open for you to hunt with the permit. Then you have private land that you lease to hunt. i am just learning about the other public hunting that no permit is required for or thats what i gather. So like Conroe for example if you wanted to hunt lake conroe it is public so no permit is required? Or if you wanted to hun the bay not permit would be required? any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. I am refering to duck hunting.

Not positive but I think you have to have the permit . I got one to deer hunt Conroe . That's what I took from tpwd website

yep....when you get the public hunt permit for 48 bucks, they mail you the map booklet....shows what game, and land you can hunt....but NO! you can not hunt on just any old public land ! be sure and check the book and maps carefully,

Call the controlling authorities for each water body

Spend the $48, the map and info will be more than worth your investment of $48. Cheaper than a lease, with a few headaches included but it is hunting.

Look at them for free, download, study book and then decide on purchase.

The APH covers the Texas state lands, the ones shown in the booklet. It also covers federal US Forest Service properties like Sam Houston National Forest. There are some other federal lands controlled by the Corps of Engineers, DOD, etc. that I think require separate permits -- and of course, during the shutdown they're closed.
