HUNTING WATERFOWL: It's waterfowl season ... if you plan 
to go hunting, better get "quacking" ... details on Passport 
to Texas

PTT from TPW and the Wildlife Restoration Program

If teal season was any indication, waterfowl season in 
general ought to be pro-duck-tive.

Well, hopefully. We're still in a state of trying to repair the 
marshes from the damage done by the hurricanes last year. The 
teal season was great along our mid-coast. :10

Vickie Fite, Parks and Wildlife's public hunting 
coordinator, says a forty-eight dollar public hunting 
permit gives waterfowlers access to plentiful hunting 
opportunities. 

You can go online and locate the public hunting areas that are 
near you before you even think about purchasing the permit. Just 
go out there and check out what we have to offer. And remember, 
with the forty-eight dollar public hunting permit, it offers a great 
opportunity for day hunts or even weekend hunts during the 
holidays. :17

Call site managers for the latest update on the marshes 
and best places to participate in this economical sport.

If you've got some camo, and you've got a shotgun, you're pretty 
much ready to go, as far as it comes to waterfowl hunting - or 
any of the bird hunting. Because the shotgun, and the shells for 
the shotgun are fairly inexpensive as compared to the high 
powered rifles or a place to use that high powered rifle. :15

Texas Parks and Wildlife website has all the information 
you need to prepare for a great hunting experience.

That's our show for today ... supported by the Wildlife 
restoration Program ... providing funding for the 
operations and management of more than 50 wildlife 
management areas.
