hunting on less than 10 acres

Got permission to hunt on a small parcel of land that is surrounded by 300 acres..deer and hogs are everywhere..I called game warden to ask this question..does texas law exclude hunting on less than 10 acres with a firearm..and can I hunt with a bow/crossbow ..he/she hasn't returned my call

Mow, It wasn't when I was in LE that I recall, but I understand some county's have adopted a 10+ acre minimum. I was told Parker Co, was this way from folks that said they where notified by deputies when they where out shooting. Might try a quick call to the SO.

I know in the county i live in (Montgomery) it is against the law to discharge a firearm on anything under 10 acres, now as far as hunting with a bow/crossbow, i do not know.

out in county would guess ya, the problem that will accure is getting permission from neighbor if ya have ta go off the 10 acres ta retrieve. back in day it used ta be the humane thing ta do. now its tresspassing. best wishes.

learned something new today. need more than 10 acres ta target shoot. dang Gov. don't do no good ta complain. they laughed & made fun of me thread

The county I live in requires 10 acres to hunt. It is allowed, though, to "pool" properties. Say I have 5 and my neighbor has 5. We can give each other written permission to each others' land and we can both hunt our own 5 acres legally, and with the written permission can cross the property line to retrieve downed game. If you're in a "10 acre" county that allows that, you could contact the owner of the surrounding 300 and ask permission to "hunt' just to be able to hunt your -10 and possibly retrieve game. I'd make it clear to them that you really have no intention of hunting their place, you only need the permission to be able to legally hunt yours. Call the county Sheriff's office. This isn't a game warden issue. If anyone complains about shooting it will probably be a Sheriff's deputy paying you a visit, not a game warden. Good luck, sir!

Talked to a Hood county sheriff's deputy and he gave me the ok..says hood county doesnt have that law that as long as it isn't in the city limits..put said to adhere to the shooting over boundary law..I put up a feeder and camera..hogs eating him up..owner saws he has a huge "palmetto" deer that has antlers like a Moose"..whaaat?..can't wait to pull card next week

Heck with the card! get that Palmate deer and post photos

Plan on letting things settle down and hitting it next weekend..Will be on the ground 100 yards out at legal shooting lite

Well went to pull sd card...corn on the ground..doesn't look too promising..we'll see..check back later after seeing what's on card...he really talked this small piece of land up..Took him a bottle of his favorite libation..

Good luck.

Check on the county.Collin county has no minimum as long as you're not in a subdivision and are outside the city limits.Straight from a constable.

Sometimes you have to give the deer time to find the corn and change their pattern.

Checked camera..nothing showed up from Saturday week when I put feed/camera out until Friday nite..big doe showed up along with....coons...switched sd card..and refilled 5gallon feeder..going back next Friday morning

camera will only show what ya missed whin not thar. pulled one of mine an it had pic of 45-50# sow, blew it up last night & it had some babies at its side. debaiting wether ta go sit or not. touch of flu, down in back, it don't do no good ta complain. realy haven't had freeze yet, not much showing up during day here. best wishes Friday.

mow, run a corn trail from corners of property to feeder; deer (bucks) will find feeder faster. put mineral block out too!
good luck - show us the 'after' pics . . ..

Post a few pics ASAP.

I hunted on a 3 acre solid brush property my dad owns. Every year i called the county game warden to talk to him about if it was still legal. He said that in wilson county it is legal to hunt on small properties unless you are in a subdivision or in town. I hunted with a bow. Never had a deer run out of the property but i only killed 3. If it would have gone on neighbors properties i did not have permission to get them though. they hated that i hunted there. They said they were their deer and i shouldnt shoot them. I even had one land owner call the game warden on me for hunting on a small property. the game warden showed up and figured out i was the one who called him about hunting on a small property and checked my tags and stuff and left on his way.

small acres, were legal, check fence boundries, some times find hair or were they enter & leave. find good used trails deer don't use all parts of woods. do best ta work with the neighbors, in case ya may have ta try recover wounded animal. best wishes

Good luck!

Is it high fenced?
