Turkey Coverage

I JUST WANTED to give a shout-out to the awesome turkey coverage you’ve been doing. It seems like the Texas outdoors community does little on turkeys, but you guys go super in-depth on that and so much more. It’s appreciated.

I especially liked the story you did on the new Pineywoods GPS research.

Killer stuff!

Jason Phillips

 

KUDOS ON A great story on the LSU/TPWD study on turkeys in East Texas. It was cool to see you guys on the front lines of that one and for pretty much everything else related to turkeys in Texas.

I also liked the photos you ran of the white and smoke turkeys.

Keep up the good work!

DO YOU THINK there are Merriam’s turkeys in the Trans-Pecos? I mean there are some just across the border in New Mexico.

Randy Murphy

Editor:

It’s great to see so much positive feedback on the turkey issue. In terms of Merriam’s in the Trans Pecos, they are there but no one is sure of numbers, etc. I have heard reliable reports of Merriam’s turkeys in the Guadalupe Mountains.

Redfish Question

WITH TROUT seemingly more susceptible to freeze kills, do you ever see the day where the state allows us to keep more redfish? Maybe four a day?

Mary Landry

 

Editor: The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department a little over a decade ago tried to give anglers more redfish, but the public overwhelmingly commented against it.

I don’t see anything coming in the near future but it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

Redfish are abundant and doing well in all Texas bay systems which is an incredible thing to see.
