Kudos on the kudu. Lucky hunter. Although the hunter did some research by calling a GW and a nearby HF. I think most would have just shot the animal.

Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Kudos on the kudu. Lucky hunter. Although the hunter did some research by calling a GW and a nearby HF. I think most would have just shot the animal. Yep. And it's just a matter of time before a hunter that doesn't do due diligence gets nailed for a federal felony. There are several animals (not kudu) that if shot without the proper permit can get you fed pen time. I also believe the new Texas estray law would cover a tagged exotic animal like that. I know it covers my bison now. If they get on your property and you shoot them without contacting me and or the sheriff you are in violation of the estray law. So, I'm thinking the kudu wasn't tagged or they couldn't find the ranch he originated from.

I don't think bison have every been considered exotic(I'm really not sure). I thought they always fell under exotic statues.

Where do the tags have to be on an animal? "In the Ear?" Where am I legally required to look before I pull the trigger on an animal under the feeder on my lease?

The tags or other ID can be anywhere as long as they are visible. Everyone should read this before they shoot any exotic animal they didn't stock. http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/AG/htm/AG.142.htm

If I read the law correctly, I can charge the animal owner to get his animal back from my property plus any damage that the animal may have caused. in the case of say "bison", I'm sure that for them to be on my property, my fence would have to be torn down somewhere, so the cost of the fence plus other expenses, such a feed, etc could be charged to the owner or the animal. Am I correct on this?

Am I correct on this? I wonder if that is a county issue. I have heard that some places it is your job to fence out live stock (free range areas). But that may also be incorrect.

really though I think the whole law is about the dumbest law they thought up in a good while I agree. This is not included anywhere in the Outdoor Annual or in Hunters Ed Literature. If the Deer Breeders get their way, we'll have to include tagged deer as well. Sounds like a can of worms to me. Pablo

Where do the tags have to be on an animal? "In the Ear?" Where am I legally required to look before I pull the trigger on an animal under the feeder on my lease? The animal has to be only if the animal is tagged, branded, banded, or marked in another conspicuous manner that can be read or identified from a long distance and that identifies the animal as being the property of the claimant. Better be a pretty big, bright tag. We have exotics on our place that did not originate on our place. No tags, fair game.
