Whether you agree with shooting turtles or not (referencing other posts involved in this thread), one thing is clear.

As far as your original question (moral judgements aside)...
Gringo is right (IMO).gringo pistolero wrote: "No closed season. These animals may be hunted at any time by any lawful means or methods on private property. Public hunting lands may have restrictions. A hunting license is required."
For more information, go to Walmart or Academy. Get the free hunting regulations booklet. You can also buy a hunting license while you're there if you want.
