Texas Big Game Awards Announces New Trophy Search Tool
San Antonio – For 24 years, the Texas Big Game Awards (TBGA), a partnership of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and the Texas Wildlife Association (TWA), has been the leader in recognizing the contributions that landowners, land managers and responsible hunters make to managing and conserving wildlife and wildlife habitat on Texas’ private lands.
The TBGA is excited to announce the “TBGA Trophy Search Tool.” The first of its kind in Texas, this web-based search tool provides hunting enthusiasts with the ability to search over 34,000 big game harvested entries taken in Texas since 1991, which have been officially entered in the Texas Big Game Awards program since its inception.
“This is very exciting news,” said David Brimager, Director of Marketing for the Texas Wildlife Association who oversees the TBGA program. “For the first time in the program’s history, hunters can research trophy animals taken in Texas through a variety of avenues. You can search by region, animal, category, year, county, or last name.” Brimager continued, “Hunters ask us all the time about historical entries, and more specifically about certain counties. This search tool gives them the opportunity to do that research and so much more.”
After each awards season is complete, that season’s data will be uploaded to the website tool. Species recognized by the Texas Big Game Awards include: white-tailed deer, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, desert bighorn, and javelina. Under the program, awards are given to all “scored entries” that meet minimum regional scoring requirements using the Boone and Crockett Club scoring system. Also recognized are first-time hunters, youth hunters, and landowners. There are no entry fees to enter the annual recognition program. All program information, program history, entry rules, photos, and sponsors are featured on the TBGA website.
