But what about archery hunting? I called the game warden in Spring Texas and asked what the minimum was and he said there was none. So at least in 2018 when I asked, with a bow you could kill a deer in Spring Texas on a quarter acre lot as long as your arrow did not cross the property line. Didn't ask about firearm as hunting with a gun bores me :).

They have been selling 8-10 acre tracts around our ranch, we have lots of deer and game, I guess it's time to high fence.

Plenty of fat boys at NRA conventions and gun stores. No need to go looking in the woods. Heck, don't even need a gun. Just a Trump hat and an NRA sticker, you're set. Fat boys come runnin!

I love Texas, but purchased large acres in Wyoming. I love the freedom of going out to my hill and shooting and firing. And hunting on it

I just panicked for a second for my parents back home in unincorporated Johnson County. We got 6 acres and go shooting down at the bottom of the property towards a creek. Just googled and it looks like there might be technical rules, but for the most part, the JCSD says it's all cool as long as you're safe and mindful of your neighbors.

My understanding is that you need 50 acres or more to shoot a firearm on your own land in TX. Proper backstop is necessary as well.
@LandownerTV
@LandownerTV Жыл бұрын
In most areas in Texas you'll need 10 acres to discharge a firearm; however, policies in municipalities and counties vary and need to be researched individually. You're also right that a good backstop and understanding of what lies behind your target (even at a long distance) is necessary prior to opening fire.

Here's what real Texans know: NEVER SHOOT GUNS ON YOUR OWN LAND. You're telling criminals where to come. Facts. If you have a gun or two, you'll learn on an indoor range. And stay ready for intruders with guns. You're not shooting at wildlife. That is the prize to have land, that wildlife. You're there to protect it. Unless you're wanting to brag to fellers how good at killin you're getting. Yeah, not exactly what straight men do. You want a nice life with women or a lady, you're not taking pleasure killing wildlife. Beyond sustainable necessity. Guns aren't necessary for taking animals to sustain yourselves. Anyone saying so is dog whistling for an NRA reach around at the KKK meeting in bedsheet dresses no undies.

@@juarezderrick9647 I'm in Duval county Texas. And I called a game Warden and asked. He told me that there is no minimum acre size of property and no minimum distance from a dwelling. Actually my dad had 100 acres he lived on and he killed many deer standing in the patio door in his boxer shorts and shooting right out the door. Game Warden says that's legal here so I'm good. I'm on 2 acres with 80 acre un used ranch to the south a 640 acre ranch to the west 160 acre ranch to the north across access road and an abandoned 2 acres to the east then a row of 2 acre plots for another mile. The closet dwelling is about 450 ft so as long as I don't shoot toward a dwelling the warden said hunt but hunt safely
