Drawn Hunts

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife and the Wildlife Restoration Program

With the fall hunting season looming on the horizon, now is the time to apply for drawn public hunts.

A lot of our deadlines have changes from previous years so people who want to apply need to check our website or look at their public hunting lands booklet to make sure that they get their application in by the deadline.

Kelly Edmiston is a public hunting program specialist. Special drawings for controlled hunts — offered through the Public Hunting Program – make affordable, quality hunting experiences a reality for thousands of hunters annually.

This year we’ve added three new categories: an archery mule deer, a gun mule deer, and a private lands pronghorn hunt.

If being drawn for an archery or pronghorn hunt is your dream, register now.

Mid-August, August sixteenth, is going to be the deadline for all of our archery hunts and all of our pronghorn hunts. Basically what we want to do is have people selected and have their attendance confirmed and their permit fees sent in and their permits given back to them in time for the archery season, which is an early season.

Depending on the hunt, expect to pay a non-refundable application fee of either three or ten dollars per hunt. Other fees may apply. Find links to drawn public hunts information at passporttotexas.org.

That’s our show…with support from the Wildlife restoration program…working to increase shooting and hunting opportunities in Texas
