BUY EARLY AND HUNTING LICENSE CHANGES: There's 
something new to keep in mind this upcoming hunting 
season...details on Passport to Texas.

PTT from TPW and the Wildlife Restoration Program

Hunting and fishing licenses for the 2007-2008 seasons 
go on sale statewide this month. 

The new season, dove season, opens September first. It's on a 
Saturday. I think it would be a very good idea for hunters to start 
buying their licenses and their super combos as soon as our sales 
season opens, which is August fifteenth. :13
	 
Tom Newton manages licensing at Texas Parks and 
Wildlife. Buying your license early is like planning your 
morning commute; you can sit in bumper-to-bumper 
traffic or you can leave early and breeze through. Whether 
you buy licenses now or later -- be aware of two changes.

We had a license that we called a special resident license that 
encompassed young hunters and the older hunters. And we took 
that licenses and we split it into two. Now we're going to have 
one senior and one youth hunter. The other thing that we've 
done...our temporary day plus licenses have been consolidated 
into one single license; we had twelve. :23

Now there's a one day license for residents and a one day 
license for non-residents. 

Which will un-complicate things considerably. :03

Get your licenses online, or at 17-hundred retailers 
statewide, state parks, game warden offices and TPWD 
HQ. Find license links at passporttotexas.org.

That's our show...with support from the Wildlife 
restoration program...working to increase shooting and 
hunting opportunities in Texas.
