How many of you are planning on hunting the refuge. Its only 47 days away. I didn't know about ya'll but I need my refuge fix.

One of the students who signed up for the IBEP Class said the Refuge told him there were less than 100 bowhunting permit application returned so far, this was Sat when he paid his money at the Refuge for the archery hunt.

This year's dates are out for the Public Archery Hunt on the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. The hunt opens on Oct 4 for nine straight days until Oct 12. This is the longest running Archery hunt in TX where hunters just have to sign up for the hunt. To get a hunting packet with the information about the hunt all you have to do is call the Refuge at 361-286-3559 and give them your address. Hunter success has been running 20%-25%.

Mosquito success is 100%, guaranteed!

This will be my first year hunting the refuge. I signed up for the hunt this past Saturday, August 16. I am also looking forward to the archery course as well. I figure not only is it a great oppurtunity to get some more indepth information about the refuge, I also figure I will learn a great deal about the hunting conditions out there.
