texas parks and wildlife - life's better outside

 

Dear Sportsman:

 

In order for Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to provide the best possible management of our wildlife resources and develop appropriate science-based harvest regulations, we need to determine deer and javelina harvests in Texas during the hunting season just completed. To obtain this information, we need your help in completing this big game harvest survey. If you plan to continue hunting after you have received this survey, please wait until your hunting season concludes to finish and return the survey.

Your response to this survey is critical even if you did not hunt or kill any deer or javelina during the hunting season just completed (including archery, youth, general, special late, muzzleloader, or any other open season). Knowing whether you did not hunt, hunted and were unsuccessful, or hunted and were successful, are all necessary to properly estimate harvest for deer and javelina. All survey responses are important and not returning the survey could lead to improper estimations of harvest that ultimately affect hunting seasons and bag limits.

This survey should reflect the hunting activity of ONLY the person to whom it was addressed. Do not report the kills from other members of your hunting party, employees, or guests.  

Survey response deadline is March 31, 2022.

IT SHOULD ONLY TAKE ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO COMPLETE THE SURVEY.

 

Thank you for your cooperation!
