You’d be in deep shit if you did.
Wouldn’t be legal without written consent.

I'm glad you didn't have a license at the time. Gun owners & hunters catch enough shit for stupid actions of a few. So would you have called a cease fire to recover the deer or waited until everyone else stopped?Was shooting there recently and 2 deer ran through the range. I didnt get my license yet so I didnt shoot, but I would have otherwise.
I looked at the range rules and it didnt have any prohibitions against it. Does anyone know for sure if it is officially banned?
More than likely this.You’d be in deep shit if you did.

§ 42.09. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Reads towards the bottom and you'll notice why shooting a deer on a gun range will get your a$$ hooked up. Especially if the owner of the property pushes it.
Look for the word, "Depredation".
Except that section says an animal is defined as:
(a)(2) “Animal” means a domesticated living creature, including any stray or feral cat or dog, and a wild living creature previously captured. The term does not include an uncaptured wild living creature or a livestock animal.
I wondered if anybody would read it....and then notice it directs to the Texas Parks and Wildlife codes.
Just so there's no misunderstanding on this,

(The owner of the range did not give permission)
That's one of many fine detail laws that makes it against the law to shoot a deer on a gun range. As a responding officer. You will get arrested. Then it's an explanation to the judge on why you're shooting animals at a non hunting sporting event.
Better hope to above nobody video records you doing it. The range will be toast. It'll make national news and every dick liberal from sea to shining sea will be after your back side.
