AUSTIN — Hunters looking for a new opportunity or a change of scenery this fall are encouraged to check out the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s (TPWD) drawn hunt permits program. Applications are being accepted now for a shot at more than 9,500 permits in 56 hunt categories.
The permits are for drawn hunts on both public and private lands throughout Texas. Among the offerings available through the online system are hunts for white-tailed and mule deer, pronghorn, turkey, alligator, dove and guided packages for exotic species and bighorn sheep.
“This season, we will conduct drawings in 56 hunt categories,” said Kelly Edmiston, TPWD public hunting program coordinator. “These drawings include two selections for U.S. Forest Service Antlerless Deer Permits, both adult and youth hunts, and 16 e-Postcard Selections for hunters using the $48 Annual Public Hunting Permit.”
