These animals may be hunted at any time by lawful means, and on private property. If you are using public lands, check before you hunt because those lands may have restrictions. Remember it is illegal to take any of these non-game species and use them for commercial purchases, which means you cannot sell them, exchange them for something else, or barter them.

If you aren't sure what you're hunting is allowed or if they have a legal hunting season you can always visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Website.

Always be safe while hunting, and be aware of your environment and who is with you while you are hunting. Always be extra cautious.
