Game Warden Run in in Texas

Last night my Son, and my best friend and I went Coonhunting, we hunted in a forrestry unit, in the next County because all our areas are full of Deer Camps.

Anyhow, all went well, we had a good Race and Tree, we found our Coon and shot it out and all was jolly and well, that is until we decided to come out and go to another spot, thats when the Game Warden switched the lights on.
The Warden originally told us we were not allowed to Run hounds in the National forrest, and Then we reminded him what the rules were, and broke out the Type Two public land Map and Rule Book, he looked puzzled, and called in to his station, at the same time looked at our license. when he got off the phone with the Station he looked at us and said, "Your Good" have a nice evening. We recieved no Citations.
He was unaware that what we were doing was Perfectly Legal!! It was some Deer hunters that called in on us.
We have rights too, but if we dont stand together, and learn the rules one day our sport may become Illegal.

On our Forrestry Units, During an Open Deer Season, You cannot Hunt Fur Bearing Animals or Preditors With Dogs During Daylight Hours. At Night its Legal. You can also Hunt Squirrel and Game Birds During The Daylight Hours With Dogs.
During an Open Deer Season You are Not Allowed to Have A Shot Gun With Slugs, or Shot Larger Than #4 or a Centerfire Rifle while in the field with Dogs!!!! Thats the rules
To be technical, the White Tailed Deer and the Wild Turkey are the only Critters in our area that you cant hunt with a dog, everything else is Fair Game!!!!!

which National Forest are you hunting. I Had a run in wih one in the Sam houston NF no problems. one ticket (no hunting license) i knew better. just went anyways. they are starting to limit dogs in the NF here. no more hog dogs. That is probably how the end starts.

We were in the Angelina National Forrest hunting the Banister Unit Its Unit #903 it has 25,658 Acres.
The Game Warden told us that some Deer Hunters that were Camping in the Hunter Camp Area, called in on us.
All that land, and the Deer hunters think they own it!

We had a run in with some pissed off deer hunters last year, they tried to tell us that it was illegal to run dogs at night. They were fighting mad because we were hunting their area. 176,000 acres and its all theirs.
