hunting and plinking

[dyates]

I'm new to this. Chat groups that is. I'm also just now starting to hunt again after 30 yrs.
I live in the Dallas Txas area and want to find a place within a few hundred miles that I could go and hunt all during the year. If nothing else just set up a target and fire a few rounds. A long time ago, there was a place called the National Grasslands, but you can't fire anything but shotguns and muzzleloaders there now. Looking at the Texas parks info and trying to find even simple info can be pretty discouraging. I would like to do some squirrel, varmint, deer and antelope hunting and can't afford the prices that private ranches charge. Does anyone out there use public lands and know of some good places to go.
