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.

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

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?
