Final response
Here is the latest and final response I believe from Texas:
“At least we did not insult you with your language or name calling. Do not respond any further!”
I actually felt kind of bad after reading this. I can just picture Texas sitting there on the floor in a puddle of its own piss with a little tear running down her cheek crying “stop…stop”
Okay, I am over it. I was going to respond with “Okay…sore loser” but I don’t know yet. It felt really good letting Aaron out to play with Texas. I had a grin on my face I couldn’t wipe off for a while. Nothing like letting my inner asshole out to run free and play in the grass!
I just don’t see how I used inappropriate language or insulted them. The only name I called them was young grasshopper. Please, if that hurt their feelings they need to learn to man-up and quit being a puss. I never insulted them; they insulted themselves with half-truths and arguing with someone out of their league. I should have known to go easy on them…they are from Texas you know. Anyway, I won’t hold any of you fine folks from Texas that read this blog in the same category as the ones who wrote the responses. Y'all are a better class of people. You have to be…you are reading this blog right now! Later.

I just got a response back. Read the post below this one first
I just got a response back from Texas:
RESPONSE
Non-Resident (NR ) Hunting Fees
Basic Season (excluding Big Game) $150.00
Big Game1 $150.00
Bow $26.00
Deer (1 day)7 $36.00
Above you will see that Louisiana charges as much if not more for a non-resident to hunt deer in their state, including anyone from Texas.
Sorry you will not be able to enjoy our wonderful friendly state this year. We wish you have a happy and joyful holiday season!
FOURTH E-MAIL
Well, you are just on top of things aren’t you? It would appear you got me. According to your e-mail it would cost over $300 to hunt deer in Louisiana if I were a Texas resident that was native to Louisiana. But I think I see a problem.
The problem is you were in such a hurry to ATTEMPT to prove me wrong that you didn’t read any further down past the information you WANTED to find versus the truth. Let me inlighten you young grasshopper:
You see that line that says Deer (1 day)7 $36.00? Well, that 7 post script goes along with a list on the right side of the page. Let me share that information with you. It states “ New Licenses Effective June 1, 2009. These licenses are all inclusive. No other license is required.”
You see, Texas sells a non-resident hunting licesne for $315 for the entire season which is comparable to Louisiana. But Louisiana offers a 1 day deer license for only $36; 11.5% the fee charged that is required by Texas to hunt 1 day or every day. And, you can extend that 1 day license up to 5 days and it still costs a lot less than the $300 you have in your e-mail; which is correct by the way just not a complete listing of options my state, the great state of Louisiana, charges. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas. We don’t have holiday seasons in Louisiana; we have holidays and they have names and we use them.
Later.

Just arguing for the sake of arguing
I planned a deer hunting trip for this year in Texas with some friends. I went hunting in Texas earlier this year for hogs and it only cost $48 for a non-resident license. I inquired about the cost for the deer hunt with the following e-mail. I also included the responses and other e-mails Texas and myself have sent back and forth to each other. I believe this is a first for me; arguing with a state.
FIRST E-MAIL
I am a Louisiana resdent scheduled to go on a family hunting
trip in Texas. What license is required to hunt only deer for
three days?
FIRST RESPONSE
Non-resident General Hunting (Type 105): $315
Valid to hunt any legal bird or animal (including deer). Stamp
endorsement requirements apply.
SECOND E-MAIL
$315 for three days of hunting one species? It only costs $29 for non-Louisiana residents to hunt for 5 days for everything from squirrel to deer. I just don't see how Texas can justify such a ludicrous amount. Here I am trying to bring money into the local economy and Texas punishes me? Thanks for the information. If we do go hunting in Texas this year it will be the last time. I WILL find a more friendly state to spend my money next time.
SECOND RESPONSE
The reason why the Non-Resident license is as such, is due to it having 5 white-tailed deer tags (3 buck or antlerless tags & 2 antlerless only tags), 2 Mule deer tags (1 buck & 1 antlerless) and 4 turkey tags as well as it is valid for all species in Texas to hunt, game animals, game birds, non-game, exotics and furbearers. With all the tags attached to the license, we are unable to void any for a short-period hunt (e.g. 3 or 5 days) since one can take up to 5 white-tailed deer in some counties and can also fulfill their bag limit by hunting in more than 1 county as well plus able to harvest their turkeys. Voiding tags would limit the legal amount of deer and turkey a non-resident hunter could harvest during their short hunt days. All states have different licenses fees, stamps and many have where you must purchase or draw for a license or tags, Texas does not. Comparing one state to another is neither fair nor justifiable.
Texas is not punishing anyone; it is the license requirement for anyone 17 years of age or over to hunt deer or turkey in the fall season in Texas for non-residents. It is your choice to come to Texas and hunt or not, we are not making you to do either, again, it is your choice. Texas is a very friendly state and welcomes all who wish to enter it for travel, camping, fishing, hiking, biking, boating and hunting, just because the license fees may be higher does not constitute we are not friendly. That is your opinion and you are welcome to it, but don’t judge us only on the account of a license fee.
Have a good day!
THIRD E-MAIL
Thank you for your lengthy and detailed response in defending Texas on their fleecing of non-resident hunters by charging them such contemptible fees. That is quite a list of animals covered by the one license. Problem is I am not hunting bucks, mule deer, turkeys, or any other game animals, game birds, non-game, exotics or furbearers. Just an inexpensive “meat hunt” for does and in the process helping to control the male/female ratio of white tail deer in Texas.
Comparing Texas to any other state is not only fair and justifiable but it is common sense. What else am I suppose to compare it to? Every state has a different program including bag limits, fees, etc. In comparing Texas to the great state of Louisiana, your non-resident fee for hunting white tail deer is despicable; just like their football team: the Dallas Cowboys.
Yes, Texas is punishing someone. In their attempt to punish non-resident hunters with outrageous fees they are actually punishing its own local businesses including hotels, restaurants and gas stations because now non-resident hunters will take their non-resident money and spend it some where non-Texas. My only dealing currently with Texas is the obscene hunting fees. So yes, Texas is an unfriendly state to non-residents. It may be only one account but it is the only account I am currently judging Texas on because it is the only one that effects me.
You are correct about one thing though; it is my choice to spend or not spend my money in Texas. And you have made that decision very easy for me. I don’t believe I will be paying $315 to hunt your precious deer this year or ever for that matter. Instead of making $50 or $100 off my hunting trip in Texas which would be a lot closer to fair, now you will be getting zero dollars from me.
So, being that Texas is greedy and overcharges non-resident hunters you are in fact screwing yourself because now you don’t have any of my money yet I will still have a freezer full of venison. Checkmate!
