This is Passport to Texas
			 
The Texas Parks and Wildlife TV series captures the 
excitement of deer season opening weekend, the week of 
October 21. Series producer, Don Cash.

31—We sent a lot of producers to Goldthwaite, Texas for the 
opening weekend of deer season. We follow a young deer 
hunter who lives in Goldthwaite; we spend some time at a 
processing facility—people bringing their deer in. We take a 
look at some of the businesses—restaurants—different places 
in Goldthwaite that look forward to the opening weekend of 
deer season because it’s good for them financially. So, this is 
something we’ve talked about for years—being able to show 
people the economic impact of hunting. I think it’s going to be 
kind of interesting, actually.
     
Cash said, his team could not have achieved this feat 
without the kind and enthusiastic support of the people 
of Goldthwaite.

26—A gentleman named Warren Blesh who’s the President of 
the Simms Creek Wildlife Management Association went out of 
his way, and the people of Goldthwaite went out of their way, to 
help us find people to tell their stories. And really cleared the 
way for us to come in and run wild with our cameras. And, we 
showed up with our cameras, and people were pretty excited 
about us coming in to tell the story of what goes on in a small 
town in Texas when hunting season rolls around.

See this show the week of October 21 on PBS, Check your 
local listings. The Wildlife restoration program supports 
our series.
