Texas Trophy Hunters Association (TTHA) is celebrating hunters during Hunter Appreciation Month! From wildlife conservation to economically supporting our local, state and national communities, hunters take better care of our planet than any other group of people and TTHA wants to say, "Thanks!"

The Texas Deer Association (TDA) is pleased to announce the next stop on its statewide tour to promote more affordable hunting will be in Katy, Texas, just outside of Houston. TDA will showcase its all-new Hunt for Less program at the Bass Pro Shop in Katy, Texas, on Saturday, October 24, 2009, from 10 a.m. to 4 pm.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that one of their policy options under consideration is to drop Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) enrollment to 24 million acres nationwide. In Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever's view, this is completely unacceptable and we urge all of our members and supporters to take immediate action by contacting the USDA in opposition of this proposal.

There are less than two weeks and VERY limited supplies of tickets remaining for the benefit raffle of the Veteran Outdoors’ Custom Hunting Jeep outfitted by Critter Gitters.

Field & Stream, the world's leading outdoor magazine, announced the 2009 Heroes of Conservation today. The six recipients of the award are featured in the October issue of the magazine, on newsstands September 22, and are also featured in episodes of Field & Stream's HOC TV, available now at www.FieldandStream.com/heroes.

The Young Life Austin West Deer Tournament is back and registration is open now for the 2009 - 2010 season.  Remember, you must register before you hunt.  We've made some exciting changes, so visit the website today and register!
