Now that the fall GTG is complete, Welcome to the 2012-2013 TBH opening thread for Lakes Whitney and Aquilla. Here is to a good, safe and successful season.
I spoke with Tiffany at the COE office in Whitney Friday afternoon, 2012-2013permits for those that were registered for 2011-2012 AND completed the survey will be available on-line starting 20 August. New hunters will be required to visit the Project Office starting 20 August 2012. Don’t forget your new hunting license and hunters ed card.
As it stands at this time, those that didn’t turn-in a 2011-2012 survey will be blocked, she didn’t know the final word as it hadn’t been through all of the govt red-tape (she didn’t say that, I added it on my own). Website will be the same https://whitneylakehunting.tamu.edu/
There is a new hunting coordinator that is more of a wildlife management type rather than a ranger doing double-duty as the hunting coordinator.
Weather as of 3 August, hotter than a Plowman campfire. At least the lake levels are better than 2011. As of 3 August, Whitney 530.22 (2.78 low), Aquilla 535.98 (1.52 low)
Guidelines (and you are welcome to add additional):
Have fun and enjoy!
Hunt hard or stay on the porch.
Respect your public hunting land, fellow hunters and non-hunters.
If you pack it in, pack it out. Leave it cleaner than you found it.
Empty corn bags don’t mark a spot, its called litter.
Watch out for young bucks, know the TPWD regulations and Lake Whitney/Aquilla hunting policy.
Complete your hunters survey, for 2011-2012 62% completion, about 857 upset folks (been there myself 2010-2011).
If you borrow something, return it. If it’s not yours- leave it alone. If you feel you need to do something, report it.
Be safe, wear your fall arrest harness if hunting from an elevated stand and if by boat-wear your PFD.
1,000 other hunters have hunted that spot before, it’s not strange stuff.
Pictures are worth a thousand words.
Razorback01-out.
