I am from Abilene (75 miles from SA), and can understand why the bill was submitted. There are no trees bigger than a mesquite bush anywhere near here, so placement isn't an issue, you can plop one almost anywhere as long as its near a tank. I do most of my hunting in jack and tarrant county, where the bush is thick, but most of the plots are large (our ranch is nearly 800 acres), so either way it won't really matter to me. The main problem with anykind of law in Texas though is that it has to cover a lot of land. For this guy's constituents, who I assume are primarily stalk hunters, this sounds like a good law. For you guys, who obviously stand hunt, its bad. To me, who stalk hunts on large property, it makes no difference.

By the way, there is nothing wrong with stand hunting, no matter what members of my persuasion might say.
