This manual introduces you to U.S. hunting regulations and provides general information about firearm equipment, basic shooting and hunting skills, ethics and safety, survival skills, and wildlife identification.
The Lone Star State boasts more than 200 public hunting areas spanning 1.2 million acres, but many hunters utilize private leases.
