You could hunt all of that except elk in texas during one season. Even elk if you want to hunt a game farm. :| I think you can use a rifle on turkey there, if my memory serves me correctly.

I think the reason why is folks don't believe it works....leash laws here in BC also apply.
It works real well I can say. The best dogs can take a track wich is 12 to 24 hours old, not even a few inches of snow or rain stop them. Tracking lenght is all between 100yards and many miles.
When ...
