Everything is bigger in TX. Season is, Archery 9/30-10/29, General,( guns ,bows MLs), 11/04-1/07/07. With generous bag limits to boot. And when it all comes to an end and the season is closed I can go kill hogs with a bow or whatever I choose. There is no closed season on hogs. Sorry, I almost feel like I'm gloating. Withdrawal is not a problem here.
