TPWD TV - OCTOBER HIGHLIGHTS: Twenty-two years of 
brining the outdoors in....on Passport to Texas.

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

For twenty-two years the Texas Parks and Wildlife 
television series has aired on PBS stations statewide. 
This month, series producer, Don Cash helps us kick off 
the new season.

First week of October we start off with actually a show 
about becoming a game warden. We followed a game warden 
class the entire six months; and it's a really interesting 
and entertaining look at what goes into becoming a game 
warden. Coming in with thirty-four other strangers...it's 
just, I mean, overwhelming. C'mon Caroline! Push it...push 
it...push it...push it. Whoever just groaned is going to 
love this. One...two... three. Good Job! The second week 
of October, Abe Moore has got a really fantastic story on 
the ivory-Billed Woodpecker, which is extinct - maybe. The 
third week in October, we have story called fishing the 
late shift. And, it's about night fishing, and people who 
fish at night. It's just easier for me to catch fish at 
night. It's just fun. I catch some catfish and bass, mainly. 
We end the month of October with a story on the Spring 
Trackers. It follows a couple of biologists with the 
department as they travel the state and study and monitor 
and count the springs that are in Texas and try and learn 
a little more about these wonderful resources that we have. 

Thanks, Don. Visit passporttotexas.org for a complete listing 
of stations airing the series.

That's our show for today...for Texas Parks and Wildlife...
