Want to locate a legally authorized dealer who could sell us, obtain
permits for transport and possession of, and deliver pronghorn
antelope to a one-half section ranch in the Texas Panhandle. |

No, I will negotiate with the dealer.

A dealer is likely to want to know what your purpose is. What will
become of the antelope once they arrive at their destination? It would
be helpful to know more about your plans: is this a zoo, a private
hunting preserve, a meat-packing plant?

We will keep them, take care of them, and they will not be killed - we
like animals of all kinds

I have some feelers out and hope to have an answer in the next 24
hours. I am assuming, of course, that it's legal for a private citizen
to own a pronghorn, or if not, that you have a permit of some sort for
ownership.
I'm locating sources for the antelope, but I cannot guarantee that
it's legal for you to own the animal.

I just found this at http://www.fund.org/library/documentViewer.asp?ID=340&table=
"Texas law specifies that no person "may sell, offer for sale,
purchase, offer to purchase, or possess after purchase a wild bird,
game bird, or game animal, dead or alive, or part of the bird or
animals," T.C.A. at '62.021(a), except if such activities are
conducted "under authority of a license or permit issued under this
code." Id. at '62.021(c)(1). "Game animals" include "mule deer,
white-tailed deer, pronghorn antelope, desert bighorn sheep ..." Id.
at '63.001."
As of now, my hunt for an antelope is off, unless you respond by
telling me you have a license.

We are looking for a dealer who could get the permits. See original inquiry.

Sorry, I misunderstood you. A permit for a dealer to transport is one
thing. But a permit for you personally to own the antelope is entirely
another matter. I doubt a dealer can help you with that, and legally
it would risky for the dealer to do so, even if he could.
I don't think I can help you. Good luck with other researchers.

I would have to say I agree. It's probably best if you get the permit
yourself to own one. However, that's something the researchers could
outline for you in your answer as well, is the steps to get that
permit and find you a dealer.
Would that constitute an acceptable answer for you?

I know how difficult it is to get a TTT permit to trap and transport
and the permit to possess a protected animal and the acreage it
normally requires. But, I know from past experience that game
dealers, if they are worth their salt, often know if there are special
circumstances that allow you to bypass some of the hard and fast
permit rules. I am looking for an answer that would lead to legally
buying and possessing them -- if there is one.

If I can find a legal source to buy the animals from -- someone
outside the State of Texas -- who can get a permit to transport them
to Texas, I can get a game breeders permit to possess them.
