Two years ago when I still lived in michigan I was practicing with my bow in my back yard within city limits.  And a cop drove by and immeadiatly had the car in reverse.  He didn't give me a ticket but warned me if he saw me again he would.  They considered a bow a firearm and could not be discharged within city limits.  Call the game warden to be safe as many others have stated.
Sticks and stones break deer bones.

Here in my town and the town that i work in ...there is a municiple sewer pipeline that cuts thru some of the best looking property you can imagine. The city keeps in mowed real nice and they have juricdiction.
Only problem is theres only one way in /out. The local landowners control everything around it.
Kinda bittersweet relationship...seems no one really knows who controls access.Since all the game come off the private property to feed in the mowed grass.
I have seen some nice deer right behind the local grocery store, city park , hospital , walmart , community college , Doctors offices , etc......not to mention the turkeys that i saw at Pizza inn one morning.
It's driving me crazy!!!!!!

It would`nt be a state law broken by him hunting but a city ordinance.You should check with the incorporated city that the property is in. Some allow it,some dont. Most big cities in Texas consider the bow as well as a slingshot and air guns to be classed as firearms.The city of Georgetown has incorporated Northfork Lake and the Corp of Engineers property around it yet the Corp has hunts onthe property every year,even though they dont allow hunting inside the city limits.Go figure.
