Limited Use Permits
Thursday, December 20th, 2007Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife and the Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration Program
If you’re not a hunter, but you have friends and family who are, you probably get left behind when they go to public hunting lands to bag game. Not any more.
We offer a twelve dollar limited use permit, which is kind of a companion permit to the forty-eight dollar annual public hunting permit.
Vickie Fite is public hunting coordinator. While the permit is a type of companion to the annual public hunting permit, it is a stand alone document that’s good for an entire year.
With that permit, the only thing that you’re not allowed to do is any of the hunting activities. You can actually even fish with the limited use permit.
People who don’t know any hunters can still take advantage of this inexpensive way to access public lands.
If you’re not a hunter, you’re a birdwatcher or just a nature lover, you can spend that twelve dollars and you’ve got access to all of these areas. At times when hunting is allowed, you have to be careful and wear your hunter orange. But you’ve also got access tot his property at any other time also. For just doing the nature watching type things. Over a million acres of land. Ready. Right there. Waiting for you to come out and spend an afternoon watching nature.
Visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife’s web site for detailed information about public hunting and the limited use permit.
That’s our show…supported by the Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration Program… funded by your purchase of fishing and hunting equipment and motor boat fuels.
