Agains the law,
 

[*]NEW LAW: It is against the law to discharge a firearm or shoot an arrow in or on the bed or bank of a navigable stream in DIMMIT, EDWARDS, FRIO, KENEDY, LLANO, MAVERICK, REAL, UVALDE, or ZAVALA counties, or discharge or shoot an arrow that could physically contact the bed or bank of a navigable stream in these counties. This law does not apply to shotguns loaded with shot, including buckshot. A shotgun slug is prohibited.

RE: Agains the law,
 

Texas Parks and Wildlife,This stops our rights to bowfish in those counties,

"This law does not apply to shotguns loaded with shot, including buckshot."

LOOPHOLE! :DThe way I see it is they want you to use shotguns not bows and arrows to kill the fish:D But that does suck major, I'd talk to DNR if I was you.

RE: Agains the law,
 

Yes,they let us hunt with Shut guns on these rivers,in these counties,its fun,but i love to bowfish,now we cannot,There has to be some way to fight them River land owners,they are the ones that pushed for this law,

RE: Agains the law,
 

Oh, that sucks!
Sorry to hear it.

Hopefully bowfishers down there are the majority and might be able to get it overturned.

Could a National BF organization possibley help?
Are there harmful, invasive species in those waters that may present the arguement for continued control of them?
