There's BLM land in Texas? I was always told there wasn't any... Where can I find some maps that show it?Last year while out hunting on some BLM land near Byers...
Land owned by the Bureau of Land Management. It's federally owned public land. You find a lot of it in western states like CO, UT, and WY. Whats nice about it is its true public lands. You can hunt on it, shoot on it, drive your cattle across it... Whatever you want to do. I've been told that Texas doesn't have any BLM land, but I'd be elated to be disproved. It's one of the things I miss about CO.What's BLM land?
While I do not disbelieve the story, I do not quite believe it either.
There is no reason whatsoever for a Game Warden to trank a big cat and take it away. They would just shoot it, or more likely tell the trapper to shoot it. They are not protected in Texas. It would help if there were pictures.
lol, not really. I emailed the BLM to see what they have to say, but from looking at this map it doesn't look like there is any BLM land in Texas: GeoCommunicatorI called the Clay County Game Warden and his exact words, "It is BLM land, yep, uh huh, BLM land..." So, apparently, there is BLM land in TX... Hope this helps...

There was an article in todays paper.....a jogger saw what they think was a Mountain Lion.
Was this around my neck of the woods? Fannin, Grayson, Collin Counties?

Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry. There is very little public land in Texas (only about 11,000 acres). This is in Amarillo. BLM manages the mineral estate for Texas. I'm told that most of the land in Texas is in private ownership. You may want to contact the Texas Railroad Commission who I understand handles land questions.
Sincerely,
Theresa Herrera
