Raising Quail For Training/Hunting
Posted: Wed Feb 25, 2009 12:12 pm
I was thinking about building a Johnny House and letting some quail out. I would use them for training my dog and then probably shoot some when the season comes back around.
My question is...in Texas a commercial breeder has to have a license. The statute says "No person may possess game birds in captivity for the purpose of propagation or sale or sell game bird eggs without first acquiring the proper license authorized to be issued under this chapter."
Is there anyone here that knows specifically about Texas regualtions on this? I would never sell them....just want to have some birds around to train and hunt a little. Would I need a license (other than a hunting license of course) or anything else to do this?
THanks...any help would be appreciated.
