They are, as he already explained a couple of times.swiven wrote:I don't know much about the property law in Texas, but I think it's outrageous to just go shoot whatever you feel like on someone else's property. If I were the landowner, I'd be very upset too. And, honestly, if it were my land, I'd want to press charges.
I can't even express how astonished I am that the author of this post was surprised that the landowner was upset. Things must be very different where he is from.
I understand, having grown up in western Arkansas, where we were surrounded by 1.3 million acres of National Forest. Realizing there's virtually no "public land" in Texas was a bit of a shocker. (Except for CoE land, that is, which is a whole different animule compared to USFS. The forest service only asks three things: don't cut any trees; don't start any fires; clean up your trash.)
He said he came from Utah, where you can drive out in the country and start shooting, because it's all BLM land. I would imagine you could pull off the side of the road, pick a direction and start walking, and not encounter a fence before dying of exposure.
