Any one know anything about hunting this NWR? When are they gonna post some information?

[hmurphy2008]

I just got off of the phone with them and they said that they will be posting the information at the end of the month or early next month. You can give them a call though at 936-336-9786 and get put on the hunters email list and they will send out a mass message to let you know that the information is available.

Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge will be accepting applications for a public Big Game hunt starting September 2, 2014 and POSTMARKED by September 27, 2014. (Any application received before or after these dates will NOT be accepted). If selected through a lottery drawing, you will be able to hunt deer and hog ONLY for one of the two, nine-day mini-seasons (Season I - Nov 1 thru Nov 9, 2014 or Season II - Nov 15 thru Nov 23, 2014. Review the Application Instructions before you fill out the Application Form. You can choose Season I and Season II, and a priority order of the units listed below. If you are selected, you will be assigned to only one unit and one season. Read unit descriptions below carefully as they only allow certain hunt weapons. For instance, if you only hunt with a rifle you can only apply for Page, Hirsch, Boars Den, and Brierwood units. Each unit will have a different number of permits selected through the lottery for a total of 168 (84 Season I, 84 Season II).
