DRAWN HUNTS: Time to apply for drawn hunts...details on 
Passport to Texas.

PTT from TPW and the Wildlife Restoration Program

With the fall hunting season looming on the horizon, 
now's the time to apply for drawn public hunts. 

A lot of our deadlines have changes from previous years so 
people who want to apply need to check our website or look at 
their public hunting lands booklet to make sure that they get 
their application in by the deadline. :10
	 
Kelly Edmiston is a public hunting program specialist. 
Special drawings for controlled hunts -- offered through 
the Public Hunting Program - make affordable, quality 
hunting experiences a reality for thousands of hunters 
annually. 

This year we've added three new categories: an archery mule 
deer, a gun mule deer, and a private lands pronghorn hunt. :07

If being drawn for an archery or pronghorn hunt is your 
dream, register now.

Mid-August, August sixteenth, is going to be the deadline for all 
of our archery hunts and all of our pronghorn hunts. Basically 
what we want to do is have people selected and have their 
attendance confirmed and their permit fees sent in and their 
permits given back to them in time for the archery season, which 
is an early season. :19

Depending on the hunt, expect to pay a non-refundable 
application fee of either three or ten dollars per hunt. 
Other fees may apply. Find links to drawn public hunt 
information at passporttotexas.org.

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