According to the 2001 Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-associated Recreation, hunting and fishing contributed $3.5 billion the state's economy, and participation in these ourdoors sports is increasing every year.
In order to sustain this outdoors economy and the wildlife upon which it depends, it is important to buy the proper license(s) and follow all rules and regulations for hunting and fishing.
Wildlife Management Associations
Wildlife professionals believe that the greatest threats to wildlife in Texas are habitat loss from land development, conversion of habitats to monocultures, and the fragmentation of land tracts resulting from the breakup of larger ranches and farms. One of the most promising solutions to these problems comes through the efforts of landowners working together to conserve and enhance their land for the benefit of wildlife.
Wildlife Management Associations and Wildlife Co-ops are groups formed by landowners to improve wildlife habitats and associated wildlife populations. Some landowners join WMAs for the benefits of operating under a wildlife management plan. Some join for enhanced recreation such as hunting, birdwatching or fishing, while others simply wish to improve the ecosystem in their local environment.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has created A Guide for Wildlife Management Associations and Co-ops that provides technical guidance to private landowners for setting up a WMA. Download the Guide
