Most of the people in tx live in or near a half dozen population centers. If you go to some rural county and inquire about rock hunting or gathering natural material for bow and arrow building you will almost certainly be turned down. If you were a long time resident of that rural county and known by reputation or personally, you will probably gain access to trees and rock. Being a stranger, will usually get you zilch.

You are soooo right....these Texans will not let you have CRAP!!
I have lived in Hutchinson County for 26 years and still can not get permission to look for Flint or Osage any where....I have to grab mine off of one little Ranch that the Old Man will allow me on....and I know that when He passes away...there will be the End of the Rock Hunting Totally....unless I want to get Busted on Federal Charges for getting it from the Alibates Flint Quarry National Park!!!

Man, I will have to make a note to stay out of Texas. :(

Stickbender, I don't mean to make Texas sound like a bad place;but, people here seem to be more sensitive about property rights than in other states. I guess that probably stems from the way property was originally acquired and retained here. Just a little over one hundred years ago the six gun settled a lot of property disputes and I think there is a lot of carry-over from that era. Squatters beware!!!!
