I just read that too. Wow, that sucks. I noticed it stated "required" to be a part of TPWD public draw system. Curious as to what initiated that move. It could take many years before getting drawn under that system.
Year 1 we will all have zero points, but there were be 10,000 of us putting in for the draw.
That was my thoughts too. I wonder if they were tired of messing with it or the State requested it or ???. Im not sure they will be able to regulate it and have requirements such as bow ed. and the proficiency test if its under the Tx Public draw system. Idk, as stated before bureaucracy at work!
"we will be required to" is the type of language I may use to communicate a decision that I do not agree with but comes from a higher level on the org chart ......
I'm not sure how they would have the IBEP/proficiency test requirement under the TPWD drawn system, but I hope they do incorporate it somehow. Especially, since I'm currently on Unit 5 Topic 1 of the IBEP
*NEW THIS YEAR: You are not required to have completed a bowhunter education (BHE) course to be eligible to apply, however you MUST have completed a BHE course before you will be allowed to hunt. Your BHE card must be shown at hunter check-in.
