There is some good news. Some of the National Wildlife Refuges (which do allow hunting) are growing a tiny bit. The Conservation Land Trusts, will buy land adjacent to the Refuge, and then deed it over to the Refuge for management. Example is Cade Ranch, which will add 10,000 acres to the adjacent Anahuac NWR.
There have been a couple of big State acquisitions: Powderhorn Ranch, 17,351 acres near Port Oconner/Indianola will become a state park and State WMA. Up near Lubbock, 14,000-plus-acre Yoakum Dunes Wildlife Management Area is becoming a reality.
Disappointing that no part of the massive Big Bend Ranch acquisition was opened for hunting, but it is so remote anyway.
