ANTLERS

I had read on earlier post but was wondering about taking a pistol with you when bowhunting. i do have a CHL and was wondering about concealment do you have to keep it concealed while at a lease under your control. or can you where a normal holster on your side when you get there? i am not wanting to hunt with it it is for protection thanks

It is unlawful to be in possession of a firearm while hunting with a broadhead HUNTING point during the Archery-Only season, except a person licensed to carry a concealed handgun in Texas may carry a concealed handgun.

NOTE: A firearm may be possessed in camp, in a motor vehicle, or while hunting lawful game other than whitetail or mule deer and turkey (e.g., exotics, feral hogs, squirrels).

Archery and crossbow equipment may NOT be used to hunt deer during the Muzzleloader-Only Deer Season.

During my Hunters safety course, I asked our instructor the same exact question. I bow hunt and have to walk several hundred yards to my stand as well as my hunting buddies. There is an abundance of feral hogs in this area. There have been several occasions where we have walked up on 20 to 30 hogs @ 5 am and that is enough to make you not want to get up and get to the stand that early. The safety instructor informed us just as Mr. Parrish did you. However he did inform us to contact our local Game Warden and talk to him about carring a rifle or hand gun during bow season for protection and see what he said. I personally always carry my rifle for the feral hogs and it has come in handy twice in 3 years.
