Can a person bow hunt deer on a one acre lot legally?

Depends on wher

no.

most counties and municipalities have a 10 acre or more rule.

Again, going to depend where. For instance if you are in the middle of say Jack County and you only have one acre surrounded by a 2900 acre ranch, then I would say yes. But until you can give more info, nobody can answer your question.

Its kind of like asking, "Can I drive 75-mph?"

If you are able to hunt on that 1 acre, would you be successful? Maybe, if you are between a bedding area and a food plot, and your acre is the travel area...you could be very successful.
But your question is very open ended. You need to give more info on the location of your 1 acre.

From the TPWD website.


It is against the law to:

•hunt in a subdivision with lots 10 acres or less in an unincorporated area of a county if the commissioners court, by order, prohibits the discharge of a firearm or the use of archery equipment in such subdivisions. (Contact local county clerk and ask about 235.022, Local Government Code.)

•hunt anywhere that hunting has been prohibited by county or city ordinance.

So the way I read it is that as long as is is not against a county or city ordinance you can hunt. As long as you don't shoot across the property lines or track a shot animal across property lines.

Depends where its located. i used to own a 7 acre deer heaven! Was surrounded by big woods. But i would never kill more than 1 buck a yr. Imo its not right to kill but maybe 1 off of that small acreage...

Sure be tough to not trespass when tracking your deer

The op asked if it was legal, not ethical

it can be done legal like..just depends where...better be a hell of a shot or have permission to track such said deer across the fence line. i have had deer run 40 yards before after a shot..some drop right there. depends on yer ability

Well durn, there you have it. Bad idea as I've never known the H word you posted to be ever be good.

Just don't understand people saying that when kids are on the forum and then we wonder why kids do the things they do. H.mm

Sprinkler is known for his eloquent words. He is a sour guy with nothing better to do other than try and get on people's nerves. You'll have to excuse his jerkiness, he doesn't know any better. Small minds can get that way some times.

LOL that's bad now?

how does my statement sound "jerkiness" or "sour"?

Only if county commissioners have adopted state set minimums: 10 acre for bow/shotgun and 50 acre for centerfire rifles
