But it's not always easy to find an affordable place to hunt these days. That's where government-run public hunting lands can help. Texas Parks and Wildlife has more than a million acres across the state for hunting, fishing, camping and nature study. These are your lands, and all you need to use them i s an affordable annual public hunting permit. For more information, go to any store that sells hunting licenses, or visit your local Texas Parks and Wildlife office.
