A recent thread about carrying a handgun in addition to a rifle while hunting got me thinking.
Is it legal/illegal to carry a handgun while deer hunting in Texas? Is there a specific caliber/energy level that one must abide by?
I'm not going to hunt with a handgun, but I just like having one handy.
I've checked the hunting books, carry laws, etc, and can't really find what I'm looking for. I assume it is okay, but better safe than sorry.
BTW, this would be on private land (Texas of course).
Thanks,
Stinger
