Let's work together to keep Texas wild!
Today we celebrate National Hunting and Fishing Day and we honor you, hunters and anglers, for your help conserving Texas's wildlife and wild places. You fund Texas's wildlife management programs through the purchase of hunting and fishing licenses and stamps, as well as through taxes paid on hunting and fishing equipment, firearms and ammunition. This generates millions of dollars for conservation programs that benefit both game and non-game species statewide.
We at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department couldn't do our work to manage or conserve wildlife populations and habitats for present and future generations without your support. And today, we're rolling out a Texas plan for recruitment, retention and reactivation (R3) that aims to connect more people with the outdoors and each other through hunting, fishing, boating and shooting sports.
We invite you to work alongside us in this effort. Bring someone new hunting and fishing with you. Show them how life's better outside. Harvesting fresh game or releasing a catch-of-a-lifetime is undoubtedly its own reward. But even richer are the memories made with family and friends while sharing time on the water, waiting in the silence of the deer stand for daylight to peak through, or gathered around a campfire at the end of a long day afield telling tall tales, and recounting the day’s events.
