NEW HUNTER WORKSHOP, 2: An New Hunter Workshop is 
on the way… details ahed on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas 

A growing interest in the origin of the food they eat led 
some people, who’ve never hunted before, to seek out 
hunting opportunities. 

03— And so what we’re trying to do is get them started from the 
very basics.

Bill Balboa, of Agrilife Extension, says a New Hunter 
Workshop, October 15, in collaboration with TPW, will 
introduce interested foodies to hunting basics.

20—There’s not going to be any hunting, but there will be some 
firearm safety and some target practice with some .22s that TPW 
Hunter Ed is going to loan us. And, they’re going to have some of 
their Hunter Ed safety instructors out there to help us. But there 
won’t be any hunting at this point. But, people will be provided all 
the information they need to sign up for public hunts in Texas.

Minimum age to participate is nine, accompanied by an 
adult.

19— What I’m hoping is, all folks who have the desire to do the field 
to table experience—we’re looking for those new hunters that don’t 
have much experience—particularly with the processing with the 
animal. The seminar is going to be heavily slanted in that direction. 
So, we would like to get those folks out—anyone who would like to 
come out and do that. New hunters in general.

The New Hunter Workshop, October 15, is at the Nannie 
M. Stringfellow Wildlife Management Area in Brazoria 
County. It’s limited to 30 people. Find a link to 
registration information at passporttotexas.org.

The Wildlife Restoration program supports our series.
