Stacy,

I thought squirrel are varmint and therefor you can hunt them with suppressors. Please correct me if I am wrong. Besides isn't it just easier to trap squirrels?

No sir,
Squirrels have a season here in Texas and they are considered game animal and have a bag limit. Cant wait to go squirrel hunting with the AR 22 and the Spectre can.

I dont have a link. I had 2 friends in the room when the vote was taken. I got it from them directly.

Well I had to look it up. I live Grayson and we have open season all year round with a daily limit of 10. Hell to me they're varmint eating stuff out of the garden and they aren't easy to shoot at. A lot easier to trap. I don't eat them, however if the grocery stores run out of food I'll be having some squirrel pot pie

Re: Texas!

Sweet! I know it has been legal for hogs and such, but never game animals. This is great news! I heard it here first.

The legislature is not in session. Does the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission have the authority to make a rule change without legislation, or is this the result of some bill that has already passed?
 
Re: Texas!

Saw it on the news tonight and look forward to fall "silence". I sent the comment link to my entire Texas address book if they were hunters or not, and told them to vote "For".

Check the Outdoor Annual, many counties have different regulations on them, some counties are year round.
