Texas Parks and Wildlife offers new hunting program for beginners
If you’re interested in getting outside and harvesting your own food, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department wants to help you get started by offering a chance to win a mentored hog hunt.
The program is guided by Texas Wildlife Association.
It’s a statewide membership organization that serves Texas wildlife and its habitat.
Even if the winner has never hunted before, professional guides will fully show him or her everything they’ll need to know about hunting safely, including firearm safety.
