Tomorrow, Wednesday, March 25, and Thursday, March 26, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission is meeting to finalize regulations that will directly impact your time in the field.
Proposed 2026-2027 Hunting and Migratory Bird Changes
The Commission is set to vote on the 2026-2027 Statewide Hunting and Migratory Game Bird Proclamation. This includes critical changes to season dates, bag limits, and the proposed restructuring of the South Zone dove season. Additionally, they are considering massive land acquisitions, over 2,900 acres in Stephens and Parker Counties, and new residency requirements for licensing.
If we aren’t at the table, someone else will be, and they likely won’t have our interests in mind.
