Texas river hunting
Alright so before anybody does what they do on every hunting forum post, I do not care for your damn honey hole. I hope it stays hidden forever, not looking for any type of location just curious on legality in certain areas. i’ve looked up and down TWPD’s website and all I can find that is you are able to shoot from a kayak or johnboat in a river as long as you abide by the local ordinances.I’m specifically curious about the Colorado River since I live in Austin, would I technically be able to hunt anywhere between Austin in Bastrop? As long as I enter the water legally and don’t trust pass? |
Duck and Goose hunter from Idaho here. I want to try to help. I have had trouble understanding regulations myself. Here is what I do when this happens:
Instead of looking on a website, I actually call someone who knows the hunting laws, in my case Idaho Fish and Game. I tell them why I am confused, and I ask the question in mind. 9 times out of 10 they give the answer you need. Here's an example that happened to me. In the Idaho regulations it says, "No season on hen pheasants." I thought this meant that there was always an open season for hens. I was confused, so I called Idaho Fish and game, and asked them if this was true. I was wrong. You can't take hen pheasants. Period. I could have gotten in trouble if I went hunting for them. I advise you to actually call and/or talk face to face with someone who knows the regulations in your area. You'll get a much better answer.. You also won't get into trouble if the info you get is wrong. If you would like, I can look into this for you and help you get an answer. Jared |

Ohio has an email that you can send a message to with game law questions.
Save their response on your phone so you have it with you. -Jake |
