These need no draw. You still need the right licence and permit, and the seasons below are the ones published for this property.
Hunting with a raptor? Your limit is 3 migratory game birds a day, and three times that in possession — the total across every species you fly at, not 3 of each. It caps the daily bags shown above.
TPWD: “Falconry daily bag and possession limits shall not exceed 3 and 9 migratory game birds respectively, singly or in the aggregate.”
