TPWD Draw Hunts Survey

[Jared.King]

Hey everyone, let your voice be heard. Takes less than 5 minutes. I suggested that non-residents should be required to purchase a license in order to apply. You say what you think. What do you suggest they change?
Anyway, here it is.

I dont even bother putting in for them anymore. I got ZERO chance to be drawn.

Thanks. This has been sitting on my counter for more than a month now. This makes it way easier than the paper copy.

I agree with the fee for non-residents. I wonder how much money the TPWD would lose by doing that though.

Do that many non-residents apply that it impacts the system and requires the change?

Of the 5-6 I’ve been drawn out on I’ve seen several out of staters. So I would say yes. If I have to pay $140 to apply in Oklahoma (because my $280 deer tag isn’t enough) then they should have to pay to play as well.

Thanks. I completed it. Made a similar comment that Texas should have a reciprocal policy with other states. Texas should charge other state's hunters the same as that state charges a Texas hunter to apply.

I told them disabled vets should be exhausted before anyone else gets a chance

[careybirdwell]

I told them that I was happy with the system as it is

Same here.

I like the way you think, it is a big waste of time

It's a good system. I like the random draw because you can get lucky any year.

[Etxnoodler]

One application per category.
Forgot to add non residents should buy hunting lisence first. Also they should not get to apply for tags there are only a few of. ( mule deer pronghorn and bighorn).

[WBT]

Non-residents should be required to by a license and be limited to a certain percentage of tags. That's what every other western state does. I'm also not in favor of being able to apply to several hunts within a given category, but I recognize some people really like that.

Texas has very little public land and the public hunting opportunities are slim at best. There are a bunch of properties in the TPWD portfolio that aren't even open to hunting. The whole system is flawed.

Said the same for non residents. Also would like to see better draw odds for youth hunters. I have put my daughter in two years in a row and nada.
