And in Texas, about 95% of hunting ground is private property. As stated above, the State of Texas (the people of Texas) actually own the wildlife, not the landowner. All a landowner can charge for is the right to enter his property for the purpose of hunting, not for the game itself.

I do know of some ranches that charge a " trophy" fee if you kill something above and beyond the fee you pay to hunt. I have never thought that was legal or ethical. That is truly like " selling" the wildlife, whick I think is wrong.
