Hunt Texas–Landowners

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

Finding a place to hunt can be a barrier for many people, which is why Texas Parks and Wildlife has created the Hunt Texas Online Connection.

Hunt Texas Online Connection is a new online service that we’re providing to all our constituents, to try to get landowners with hunting vacancies, opportunities, in touch with hunters who are seeking opportunities.

Linda Campbell oversees the state’s Private Lands and Public Hunting program.

We know that there are folks out there, for example, with overpopulation problems, needing hunters to fill vacancies—particularly for deer management. So, we just wanted to make it easier for people to find hunting opportunities.

The program has drawn significant participation from landowners with hunting opportunities.

Well, we’ve got quite a few landowners signed up trying to advertise their leases. There are some businesses out there, of course, and we also list those businesses, and encourage our constituents to check out those businesses as well.

Tomorrow—using the site to find hunting opportunities.

Find a link to the Hunt Texas Online Connection at passporttotexas.org.

That’s our show… with support from the Wildlife Restoration program…providing funding for the Private Lands and Public Hunting Program. For Texas Parks and Wildlife…I’m Cecilia Nasti.
