Check the web for the Fish&Wildlife agency for your hunting A.O.
You can be assured you best not have any FMJ ammo on yer person. Get some good guality hunting ammo. Also check into weapon capacity limitations. You may have to improvise a block for your mag to limit to 5 rounds or ? |

You must block your mag. for 5 rounds max. The block can not be easily removed. And no FMJ. DO NOT have a higher capacity mag. on you

That is correct you can hunt Deer with High Cap Mags all you want, I hunt with an HK-91 & AR however I find 20 round mags easy to use than 30. I use a 10 round mag in my 6.8 SPC |

+1. Just use your common sense. I wouldn't want to take FMJ on a deer hunt. |

why not? the deer don't know they are being shot with Australian Surplus .308 ball vs $25.00 a box Hornady custom ammo. They fall over just as dead. (Given you hit them in the vitals) if you don't hit them right your in for a long night of searching with either bullet. i can't see the reasoning that .308 ball is deadly on 250# men wearing threat level IIIA body armor but can't be used on a 100# whitetail deer. |

I can. I will be hunting on my bosses property. The wildlife guys told him to "shoot all the doe he can find, then, go find more, and shoot them too. If you run out of tags, give us a call, we'll send more." He has about 100 or so tags right now. My Ar10T carbine is gonna be a happy gun. TXL |

FMJ is not restricted in Texas. Magazine Capacity is not restricted. TRG |

I would always use FMJ. FWIW, I hate eating lead. It can't be good for you. A deer shot through the heart/lungs WITHOUT the fragments of lead is what I would prefer. A hit in the vitals with a FMJ is going to ruin less meat, reduce your intake of lead and kill the deer just as dead as some exploding/fragmenting bullet. FWIW, at close range, I would use an AP .308 to further reduce my chances of eating lead dust. 180 grains of AP at 50-100 yds is going to make the deer DRT (dead right there). TRG |

BTW, TxLewis.
Wear hearing protection. That AR10 is gonna bang your bells if you are sitting in a deer stand shooting. Takes just a second to use them, and you'll thank me later. TRG |

I don't think it matters if you have 500 doe permits, you are only allowed to kill whatever the limit is for the county. You can tranfer those tags to others to hunt the same property though. |

If the wildlife is managed by TP&W, then the tags can be filled by as few or many needed to reach the limit for that managed property. Also, starting this year, state drawing hunts and hunt on TP&W managed lands do not reqiure the use of tags from your license. Only the permits provided by TP&W for that hunt/managed land are required. Therefore, you can be drawn or show up as a stand-by hunter and harvest the legal game for that hunt and keep your tags for your own lease or public land.
Prior to this, you were limited to the number/type of tags on your license. Using quality ballistic tip ammo is much better than FMJ and will feed from the mag good. |
