Once you get here you will be a resident of Texas, your licence fee will come down a huge amount. Then you can take them anyway you want any time of the day any time of year. You will find though that in the great state of Texas much of the land is private rather than BLM like out west. You then end up having to find access to a hunting area. This is typically done by leasing access rights to a patch of dirt. To some it seems unfair but it is nice to sit in a hunting spot and not have to see or hear bunches of other hunters crapping up your hunt.
