September Magazine: Looking into the crystal ball of the 
2006 hunting season. That's coming up on Passport To Texas.


Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife. 

As the leaves turn colors, an outdoorsman's attention turns 
toward the annual hunting forecast...and you'll find that in the 
atest issue of Texas Parks and Wildlife magazine. Here's 
Managing Editor, Charles Lohrmann.


September is always a big hunting month for us and we have the 
hunting forecast, which is much anticipated among hunters and 
landowners across the state. All of the biologists at TPWD division 
have been looking into the crystal ball and reading weather reports 
and doing all kinds of surveys on the populations of everything from 
dove to pronghorn antelope and are making their predictions on how 
the next year will go, and that's very important because although September
 is when most hunters are preparing for the seasons. We do have an 
article on duck hunting on the coast, and we have a really good writer 
on this, Scott Summerlot, who has been a guide for many years and 
really knows the country down there. And then we have a very interesting 
article on the bison years, the state bison herd at Caprock Canyons 
State Park and that herd is actually descended from the original Plains 
herd preserved by rancher Charles Goodnight, at the end of the 19th century.
