I love the fact I can get my outdoor news that matters to me through Texas Fish & Game in the newsletter that arrives in my inbox. Thank you for not only showing us what’s going on in Texas but wildlife issues that matter around the nation.

Editor: It’s our honor and privilege. The TF&G Report takes a lot of work but it’s well worth it when we hear testimonies like this.

Cape buffalo in Texas?

Is it true there are Cape buffalo in Texas? I have heard reports, but wasn’t sure.

Larry Talbot

Editor: There are limited numbers of Cape buffalo on a few ranches in Texas. We recently heard of one taken on a ranch. From what we’ve heard you could go on several safaris in Africa for the price of one limited opportunity at a Cape buffalo in Texas.

Higher Calling Wildlife

Chester, I have read about your Higher Calling Wildlife project for kids and it sounds amazing. I was wondering if you could give me the qualifications and some of the projects you’ve done this year.

Elen Kates

Editor: Higher Calling Wildlife is all about taking teens on expeditions and teaching them to use media for the sake of wildlife conservation through the North American model. Our focus is primarily on teens facing special challenges such as parental loss, living in the foster system and critical illness. This year we took a young man named Elijah Whiley from Colorado on a photographic expedition for bighorn sheep, mule deer and elk in Estes Park, Colorado. In the past we have taken catch-and-release trips for Guadalupe bass in the Nueces River and have partnered with Texas Parks & Wildlife and the National Wild Turkey Federation on letting kids help release wild turkeys. In 2022 we also took a young lady on a photo expedition of YO Ranch Headquarters and she shot photos to use as reference for art. If you know of a teen who qualifies, shoot me an email at chester@chestermoore.com
