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

The deadline to submit your entry to win one of seven exclusive Big Time Texas Hunt packages is October 15.

You know, if you’re lucky enough to win one of these hunts, we can guarantee you that it will be a great hunting experience.

Linda Campbell is program director for Private Lands and Public Hunting. The cost of an entry to win a guided hunting trip is just 10-dollars, and you can enter as many times as you like.

Even if you don’t win, though, you contribute to the work of the wildlife division and what we do to enhance habitat and hunting opportunities for Texans.

Entrants can walk away with deer hunts, bird hunts, and even an alligator hunt. Plus, the winner of the Texas Grand Slam gets the rare opportunity to hunt a desert Bighorn Sheep.

You know, it’s very rare that anybody gets to hunt a desert bighorn sheep; we have so few permits. That’s a guided hunt by our people on our wildlife management areas. They work very hard to provide an excellent quality hunt. Our hunters are generally just delighted with the experience overall.

If you win, but for some reason cannot go on the hunt…

You cannot sell these wins, but you can transfer them to an immediate family members, or to a youth 8 to 16 years old.

Find complete details about Big Time Texas Hunt on the Texas Parks and Wildlife website.

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

Life’s short, Hunt Big—that’s the motto of Big Time Texas Hunts.

Big Time Texas Hunts is a drawing that we offer for some high quality guided hunting packages. We do it to raise money for support of our various wildlife conservation efforts including research, also to increase our public hunting opportunities throughout the state.

Linda Campbell is the program director for Private Lands and Public Hunting. The program, in its 13th year, offers hunters the chance to win one of seven exclusive hunting trips; the first hunt offered through the program was the Texas Grand Slam.

It’s still one of our most important offerings. That’s the opportunity to hunt the four premier big game species in Texas, including: desert bighorn sheep, pronghorn, mule deer, and white tail deer.

The deadline to enter is October 15, and it only costs ten dollars per entry. And you can enter as often as you like.

We have around 80-thousand total entries for all of the hunts per year. You know that’s a gross amount that we earn—several hundred thousand dollars every year to support our research and management of our game species.
