This year we saw an increase in the number of entries, which was due in part to the addition of a combination hunting and fishing package for the first time in the program’s history,” said Janis Johnson, TPWD Senior Marketing Specialist. “We always strive to keep Big Time Texas Hunts fresh by adding new offerings. This year we introduced the Powderhorn Cast and Blast, an exciting new package that offers the winner and their guest on opportunity to hunt on our newest wildlife management area on more than 17,000 acres, along with a guided fishing trip on Matagorda Bay. “
