    Possession by Certain Persons

    In Texas, felons can hunt with any muzzleloader as long as it doesn't use 209 ignition. Although, parole restrictions might prohibit even that. I knew one guy who's parole officer said he couldn't use a crossbow cuz it had a trigger.

    India animal imported by the King Ranch in the 1930s. They're reproduced and and up and down the coast of Texas. Nonnative so you can shoot them all year. Bulls can easily hit 400-500 pounds. Cows less. Great eating animal.

    Joined yesterday from south Texas. I'm a beginner and yet to purchase my first ML. I've been perusing some of the beginner threads and leaning towards Lyman trade, TC renegade or hawken all in 54 cal. I'm a bow hunter too for whitetail, pigs and nilgai. Looking forward to learning from the...
