Public Hunting Program launching online-only draw system

The Public Hunting Program is launching a new online-only drawn hunt system for 2014-2015 hunts. Starting in early July, you can search for hunts by category and location, apply for hunts and check drawing status, all online.

Drawn Hunts offers affordable hunting experiences on public lands in more than 24 different hunt categories, including eight Youth Only hunt categories. This includes hunts for desert bighorn sheep, pronghorn, white-tailed deer, mule deer, exotics, turkey and more.

This year, all applications will be submitted online and the "Applications for Drawings" booklet will no longer be printed and mailed. Instead, an online catalog of all 2014-2015 hunts will be available.

With the new online-only Public Hunt Drawing System, you can now:
Apply multiple times in the same hunt category and apply up until midnight the day of deadline
Receive email notifications once selected
Print or store permits on a mobile device to display when needed
Use your unique Customer ID number as your identifier
Pay any required application or permit fees by credit card
Apply for antlerless deer tags on US Forest Service areas

Learn more about the Drawn Hunts application process. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at [email protected] or (512) 389-4505.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 17)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.00 feet at pool. Hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The Hybrids and Whitebass have started schooling in water from 6-14 feet at the dam and any wind blown shallow point or seawall. Late evening schooling action is also happening in shallow coves and points throughout the lake. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 8-16 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service.
