      NO FIRES IN THE FOREST. You can go on their website and see the actual orders but it basically says no camp fires, no charcoal grills, no propane grills or laterns and no smoking anywhere but in your vehicle. Nothing with a flame.

      With as dry as it has been this year combined with the fact that they already had one 14000 acre fire in Davy Crockett, I'm betting they wont be too easy on violators.

        ya i guess it does make sense. some places will let u use a grill but being the forest i bet they do not allow anything.

          During Bow Season you may harvest a doe without a permit in the DCNF.. however during gun season you must have a USFS permit for a doe... other wise follow the TPW Hand book and harvest rules for that county and you will be ok.

          There are no regulatory issues on weapons such as Shotgun ect.. EXCEPT during Muzzle loader season.

          www.fs.usda.gov/texas/ Look up Davy Crockett National Forest... should have some info there

          Hope this helped
          I believe you can actually shoot 2 does during the archery only season. Good luck to y'all either way!

            Talked to a member of the work crew cleaning up Ratcliff lake today. He said it didn't look like the park will be opened this year. He said they are having to do a lot of work by hand.

                          Generators are fine.. they stated that they would appreciate the area be clear and no high grass around it.. we have had very little rain.. none in the last two weeks in that area... hope that changes soon...

                              looks like everyone had the same idea i had. Looked like an orange vest convention around the pond I've been hunting for the last 5 years. Stupid google earth.
