KP,,, You might want to do a little checking with TPWD on planting for migratory birds (DOVE). I know you can hunt on grain fields that humans harvest for food such as MILO,RICE,CORN & SOY BEANS,,WHEAT,,ECC...THERE IS CERTAIN THING THATS ILLEGLE TO HUNT OVER,,,i think. COYOTIES ARE BAD to eat watermellons..a fence wont help much , just too many critters that like fresh veggies also. deer,,rats,,birds,,yotes,,hogs,,possums,,coons,,rabbits,,bugs of all kinds and fire-ants are really bad.they will eat the blooms plus the fruit.
