Public Comment On New Deer Regs Sought
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), in a recent briefing of its Commission’s Regulations Committee, unveiled an extensive suite of potential regulation changes to the deer harvest throughout much of the state. The department will be gathering public input on the possible proposals over the next few months, after which it will present a comprehensive set of proposals to the Committee. Those proposals will then go back out for official comment during a series of public hearings to be held around the state in the spring of 2009. A final decision on the proposals will be made by the commission at its March 25-26, 2009 public meeting.
Details about the possible regulation changes can be found online at http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/newsmedia/releases/?req=20081110a. Texas Trophy Hunters Association (TTHA) and TPWD strongly encourage our members, their hunting friends and family members to weigh in on these possible proposals by clicking the public comments section on the TPWD home page.
