Rumor on the street is that TPWD is pulling out of Granger and turning it back over to the core. Do not know if there will be any hunting once this takes place.

Originally posted by glen View PostI heard the hunting program on Georgetown may have some changes and cutbacks. I may go up to the office this week and see. I got off my lease and it would be easy to just walk out the back door
Summary of the changes: More room, less hunters, costs a little more, slightly harder to check in deer after you kill one.

Originally posted by jared_bays View PostI talked to a game warden today at Double G and he told me the state was dropping Granger because it was costing them money and they weren't getting anything back in return. He wasn't sure if it was going to be this year starting Sept. 1 or later but he did say it was happening regardless. He had no idea how hunting access or lack thereof would be handled by the corp moving forward. He didn't go into a whole lot of detail but I got the idea it was a power struggle of sorts between the state funded TPWD and the federally funded COE. With the loss of state run hunting means the lake will no longer be a WMA so you won't be able to fish from the shorelines without a fishing license. That being said, their revenue from writing tickets is sure to increase in the area. Conversely, I guess that means you will no longer need an APH to duck hunt the lake and probably won't need one to hunt the surrounding corp propery either, assuming they don't do away with the hog and deer hunts all together. Sure am interested to see how this turns out. Especially since Granger is one of the top draw hunts applied for in the state, I think #2 or #3 right behind the Chap.
