RAYMONDVILLE, Texas - Working with Willacy County Navigation District, leaders of the Texas Youth Hunting Program have helped quell the once sizable deer population in the Port Mansfield area. The Texas Youth Hunting Program, administered by Texas Parks & Wildlife, helps teach young people how to hunt responsibly, with safety to the fore.  “We're helping Fort Mansfield. They were having a little trouble with the deer population inside the city limits,” explained TYHP organizer Gabe Lozano, III.  “The deer were eating too much corn that the people were taking out and they were beginning to founder, which means their hooves start growing up. And they had lost their wild nature. They were no longer grazing. They were just waiting for corn. They were waiting for the candy all the time.” Founder, also known as laminitis, is a condition that causes a deer's hooves to grow beyond normal, resulting in long hooves. It occurs when the sensitive tissue that connects the hoof wall to the pedal bone, called the laminae, is damaged. This can happen for a number of reasons, including diet. A sudden change in diet to high-carb, high-starch, or high-protein foods, especially corn, can cause a nutritional imbalance. This can lead to a buildup of acid in the deer's system. Lozano said TYHP and the navigation district brought in the Texas Animal Commission to address Port Mansfield's deer problem.  “Today, people cannot bring corn anymore and feed the animals here in Willacy County, because they know it's hurting the animals' grazing. It's hurting what they're doing. You can drive out there now, and they're not all standing around the pad. They're in the fields eating. Instead of them sitting around the pad, waiting and getting fat, they're out grazing again.” In addition to helping address Port Mansfield's deer issue, young people are being trained how to become responsible hunters, Lozano said. “So, these kids get to take it home and eat what they harvest,” he explained.  TYHP are doing four deer hunts at Port Mansfield this year, Lozano said. One of them concluded this weekend. The next will take place in January.  “With the help of the State of Texas, we have a $3 million liability insurance plan, which covers the ranches that these kids are hunting on, that these youth are hunting on. This allows the local ranches a chance to let these kids learn to hunt, which means what? (It means) we're going to have a whole new generation of hunters.” In a podcast with Ron Whitlock Reports, Gabe Lozano, III, discussed the Texas Youth Hunting Program and the need for safety in hunting.

On this episode of Impact Outdoors Podcast, I am joined by Kyle Hand, Statewide Game Bird Specialist from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department at the 2024 Hunt Fish Podcast Summit. Kyle has had a great career so far at TPWD, working on numerous projects around the state dealing with Turkeys, Quail and more. We get to talk a lot about the life cycle of the wild turkey and some of the incredible things they have to do to survive. There is also a great deal of discussion on habitat, predators and the distribution of the Eastern and Rio Grande subspecies here in Texas. If you love learning about turkeys, this is a great episode to listen to. Be sure to check out this and all of our other great episodes by subscribing to the show. To reach out to Kyle with any questions, feel free to email him at: Kyle.Hand@tpwd.texas.gov If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me at: Derek@impactoutdoorspodcast.com Music provided by Epidemic Sound: https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/BqSXv2dc8T/ https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/qQlXQ3C110/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Texas Parks and Wildlife has proposed two major changes in mountain lion management. The question is, why? Mountain lions are treated as a non game species in Texas with no closed season or bag limit. But don't let that fact lead you to believe that Texas hunters are out killing mountain lions indiscriminately, we aren't. [...]

Meet the Southern Flounder, a temperature-sensitive fish that's one-third of the "Texas Slam” with Redfish (Red Drum) and Speckled Trout. Learn about their transformation from regular fish with two matching sides to amazing flatfish, how they hunt tidal creeks and saltmarsh wetlands, and how to safely and sustainably catch and eat them. Texas A&M University at Galveston Marine Biology PhD student Daniel Kemp and Mark Fisher from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department join as guests.

“Sky carp” and “Saving the Tundra” are phrases that have become commonplace in the vernacular of light goose hunters across North America. Although born from well-intentioned conversations around once-hyperabundant light geese and the Light Goose Conservation Order, waterfowl managers consider these derogatory phrases undeserved and unfortunate. On this episode, Kevin Kraai of Texas Parks and Wildlife makes the case for changing this narrative and bringing respect back to light geese. We also dig into data showing an 86% decline in the midcontinent light goose population, shrinking breeding colonies, recovery of arctic staging grounds, and new science on how repeated disturbance may influence light goose body condition. If this evolving story tells us anything it's that what we know today is likely different from what we'll learn in the future and why we should never stop asking questions.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

The hosts take a look at Texas Parks & Wildlife and the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission taking action outside of the recommended USFWS frameworks to conserve waterfowl important to their respective states. Cason and Brent also dive into the mission of The Standard Sportsman podcast and provide a clearer understanding of their viewpoints and takes related to waterfowl, conservation and more.Thanks to our sponsors Sitka Gear, Tom Beckbe, Yeti, Ducks Unlimited, Lile Real Estate and Lite Boots. All Rights Reserved.

Beginning in spring 2025, for the first time in over 25 years, light geese wintering in Texas will find it a quieter and more welcoming place. That is because in April 2024, Texas became the first state to officially end their use of the Federally allowed Light Goose Conservation Order. On this episode, Kevin Kraai, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) waterfowl program manager, joins Chris Jennings and Dr. Mike Brasher to discuss this recent decision and explain the reasoning behind it. Join us for part 1 of this fascinating and intricate story about how the complex interplay of numerous factors are driving changes in Texas waterfowling, why TPWD believes the Conservation Order is no longer needed, and what they hope to achieve by ending it in their state.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

When I got wind that Texas Parks and Wildlife was considering cancelling the long standing spring snow goose conservation season (you know, the one where you take the plug out of your shotgun and there's no daily bag limit) I was immediately intrigued. WHY? The conservation order has been in place since the mid 1980s. [...]

Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by three biologists from Oklahoma and Texas to discuss the massive wildfires in the panhandle areas of both states in recent weeks, as well as the impact those wildfires have had on upland birds. Those biologists include Tell Judkins, upland game biologist with Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation; John McLaughlin, upland game program leader with Texas Parks & Wildlife Department; and Thomas Janke, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever's state coordinator for Texas. Episode Highlights: • Judkins and McLaughlin provide a recap of the massive number of acres burned and provide an update on the impact those wildfires have had on wildlife populations so far. • Janke explains difference between wildfires and prescribed fires, as well as the critically important role prescribed fire plays in properly managing upland habitat to maximize potential for wildlife. • Judkins and McLaughlin explain the concept of “fighting fire with fire” and the dual role prescribed fire plays in mitigating the risk and impact of wildfires.
