Is anyone in the Montgomery County area interested in Basque chicks? I live in the backside of Magnolia. I'm going to have some extras for sale. If interested PM me. Thanks

so I called fish and game to double check.. they informed me that ALL pheasants regardless of type (ornamental or ringneck) have to be licensed in the state of Texas.

It costs $27 (since I doubt I will ever exceed 1000 in a year) and requires a single form. I don't mind filling it out. I'd have to for the Muscovy anyway.

BTW, it also includes turkeys as well as "ducks of all varieties" and certain varieties of quail....





It's a single license that covers all of the gamebirds. So, the pheasants shouldn't be an issue if you want them.

I asked Chris @ TPWD about the "propagation" - asked, "So, I need the license even if I'm not selling?" He said, very politely, "Yes, ma'am."

Right? We've had a delightful rain fall. Lots and lots of thunder; but, the rain itself has been a wonderful, gentle soak. Perfect.

Well.....that might have been a tad too much rain. Everywhere I look water is standing. And what are my girls doing????? Yep, they love the rain!

Alrighty - per the regulation it is for all varieties of ducks...including Muscovy. So, I dunno. Chris at TPWD licensing said it was applicable. And, well, the sheet shows particular breeds of quail, and all varieties of ducks and all varieties of pheasants. So, I am just erring on the side of caution. $27 won't break me, and it covers all the bases. Easier to go overboard than to get screwed somehow in the future for failing to file for a license.
