>>823378Definitely post if you pull it off
>>823407I went through the same thing with deer hunting when I was an early teen. I ended up killing a few deer that way to understand how to process one. For me the hunting like that wasn't near enjoyable as turning the animal into food. I started backpacking on some public land and I learned I could hunt there. I gave it a try this year and killed my first deer like that. Although hunting from a stand is by far the most common, there are still few that do it the hard way.
>>823435Just go ahead and get waterfowl certified in case the opportunity arises at a later time.
>>823545Texas is mostly privately owned. If you don't have public land nearby, chances are someone you know can get access to private land somewhere.
>>824216I've never heard of anywhere within the US where you can legally kill anything just because it's on your property, and most times it requires extra permits. Some states do allow killing for destruction of property in some cases with some species, like crops you mentioned, but this doesn't include everything. Good luck killing a bald eagle if you aren't a native.
