Default RE: Texas Hunting Legislation

As I said before, I know it can be annoying if someone was to set up a feeder or stand on a property line. But there are laws already that will stop them from killing an animal on your property. I can't seem to dismiss that this is just another way that the big deer farms/ranches are pushing out the average hunter that cannot afford more than a hundred acres. Also, if you look at it, unless you were to put your feeders (I heard you 1950KID and BowHuntingFool) right under your stand, you will need an even wider track than 400 yards.

BowHuntingFool, this bill defines a blind as anything permanent or temporary. If you sit on the ground and put palm branches around you, that is considered a blind. If you climb a tree, you are in a blind. If you are a stick and string man (no offence), unless you look like a sage brush, you won't get anywhere near a deer walking on your side of the barbed wire.

Yes, I am a new hunter. I've only been at it for a year but even I can see the limitations that the government wants to put on land that I own. It is bad enough that the Home Owner's Association can fine me if my driveway has a stain and won't let me park my boat in it either. The government won't let me fill in a low spot in my yard because they consider it a wetland. So, I have to do my part in keeping the mosquito population at healthy levels. Now I am going to be told that I can't hunt my land like I should be able to do while a corporation puts up a game-proof fence next to me that effectively stops the migration of wild deer.

Thanks for all of the comments. I appreciate them all, for or against.
