Cooper WMA

[kdm015]

Carbon footprint at Cooper is far greater than I've ever seen. Probably due to COVID and probably responsible for the lack of deer sightings. I found cut fences, foot bridges and folks riding dirt bikes on the unit

Yes, you can always carry pistols when hunting, hiking, fishing, camping, etc with or without a LTC. But, watch out for Chris Fried.

You sure about that? I thought COE lands don’t have to honor LTC...

Texas Penal Code Section 46.15(b)(3) states that the crimes of “Unlawful carry of a weapon” or “Carrying in a prohibited place” do not apply to a person who “is engaging in lawful hunting, fishing, or other sporting activity on the immediate premises where the activity is conducted, or is en route between the premises and the actor's residence, motor vehicle, or watercraft, if the weapon is a type commonly used in the activity”.

Upon further review, my call is overturned. (Man, do I miss football).


10. Are there weapons and/or means and methods restrictions on public hunting
areas?

a. Hunting or shooting within 600 feet of homes, developed parks, roads, fishing
piers or platforms, farm and ranch yards, outlet structures, emergency spillways, or
other areas is prohibited unless otherwise stated or posted.
b. Pistols are prohibited.

Lol, I was looking for the citation myself and just found that.

A few years back Congress changed the law for most federal lands and allowed carrying with CHL/LTC. Corps lands were not included in that legislation unfortunately.

Did anyone kill anything this past week? Found a heavy blood trail that looked like it had been there a couple days. Was leading out of an area with a hang-on stand right by a creek bed.

Saw a gut pile buy where a truck parked on Sat morning. Not sure what it was. I'm happy the two guys in that truck got something because I was a bull in a china shop that morning going through the woods in the dark. Figured I scared every animal in 5 miles. I did see some pigs on the way back out, so maybe it was just a hog kill.

Anybody hunt this morning. Probably going to head out in a little while for an evening hunt.
