Conveyance of Hunting Rights

In California, hunting coyotes and foxes are only legal on private hunting grounds if the owner deems it so. Hunting on certain public areas are illegal. Night visions are allowed but any electronic viewing equipment that uses infrared or light-amplifying circuits are prohibited. In Colorado, night hunting is allowed.

Non-game animals include (but are not limited to) the following: armadillos, bobcats coyotes, flying squirrels, frogs, ground squirrels, mountain lions, porcupines, prairie dogs, rabbits, and turtles. There is no closed season on these animals and a valid hunting license is required.

More than 95% of the land in Texas is privately owned or managed. You can hunt on the private land that you own or get permission from the landowner to hunt as a guest or pay the landowner to hunt on that land.

A hunter must be 600 feet from the nearest private property line.

The same deer will hit your feeder 200 yards off the fence. There is no law or regulation about how close feeders or deer stands can be to a fence. However everyone is responsible for their bullet and bullets can't legally cross a fence.

A hunting license is still required on public land and allowing others to hunt on your private property for financial consideration requires a hunting lease license.The law, TPWD said, "exempts any person (resident or nonresident), with landowner consent, from a hunting license requirement to hunt feral hogs."

In Texas, getting caught fishing or hunting without a license puts a person at risk of a criminal fine of as much as $500. Then there's the civil restitution for any fish or game taken while fishing or hunting without a license.

Every hunter (including out-of-state hunters) born on or after Sept. 2, 1971, must successfully complete a Hunter Education Training Course. Proof of certification or deferral is required to be on your person while hunting. Minimum age of certification is 9 years and cost is $15.

"You have to have landowner permission." You can't hunt in a subdivision on lots of 10 acres or less in an unincorporated area of a county if the commissioners court prohibits the use of a firearm in those areas.
