The following notes were compiled from the most recent Texas Parks and Wildlife law enforcement reports and published in a release. Here are some of the wildest reports from January 2021:
Small World
A Polk County game warden was contacted by a woman on social media asking if he had any meat to donate for her family of six. The warden donated deer meat and after getting to know the family, learned the dad was a disabled veteran and hadn’t been hunting in over 10 years since before the military. The warden then reached out to local landowners and got a hunt donated for him and one of his children at Rocky Creek Ranch. The veteran took his eldest daughter of 13 on her first hunt and during the hunt, the warden found out his kids were from the same town the warden grew up in. Small world, great memories.

POLK COUNTY, Texas (KTRE) - After Polk County game wardens reached out to local landowners for ways to give back to the community through the outdoors, they decided to organize a way for a disabled veteran and a youth to go on a hunt.
To select qualifying participants for the hunt, a drawing was held on social media according to an entry in the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Feb. 5 Field Notes. That in turn created support from local businesses and community members.
