Thanks for giving us the heads-up with this, Chris! I can hardly wait to get mine (I feel like a kid waiting on the old Sears Christmas catalog )

I don't have one yet.. Hmmmm Where's my wish book?

Does anyone know if the fees changed for this upcming season?

No, fees have not increased

Me also, I don't know why I get excited I've never drawn a hunt although I've got to hunt a few places as a stand by hunter. Later Baker

I've been checking the TP&W website on a daily basis to see if the 2011-2012 booklets have been published, but alas... it aint to be, yet...

for the life of me, if they already have print versions, I cant imagine why it's not available online already. Doesnt it have to be built electronically before it can be printed?

Anyhow, I'm sure looking forward to the opportunities.

I am doing the same thing, but no luck so far. I agree, you would think that if the have it in print version, you could get it online.

Hello All, sorry for the ignorance here. If I sign up this year am I drawing for next years hunt's? How do I sign up :-)

TPWD publishes a book with all the applications and information. Call them and request the public lands hunting annual.

Thanks I found it:

That's one thing but I believe we're all talking about this:

This is all still pertaining to last season but the new hunts are going to be posted shortly.

Webmaster retired and at this time with the budget cuts, they are not refilling that position along with many that will retire or get cut. Their work will be given to another employee to do along with their normal daily routine. It's not as easy as some may think, but it will be up on the website when it is complete, tested and checked.

I went into the San Antonio LE center today. They told me they were hoping to have them mid July. They gave me a number in Austin and I called them and gave them my address.

If I remember correctly the alligator hunt applications are mailed out early to those who applied the previous year. They are also included in the book that will come out in July.

They have begun mailing out this afternoon!

Alligator hunt applications are not separate and are not mailed out early, TPWD does not send out a separate application card for alligator. The book comes out and mailed early enough so that anyone interested can apply for alligator which the application deadline this year is August 4th.

Thanks for the update. I do hope there is more youth opportunities.

It's online now.

Mine came in todays mail also. Now where to apply--to get picked

Just got home from a trip to West Texas to visit friends and family and I had my mail held. I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow!

I thought I saw somewhere they were going to be having 10 cow elk permits on the Longfellow? Dont see it in the book.
