Two last-minute opportunities to take the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Hunter Education course will be presented locally this month on Oct. 15 and Oct. 22.
The general deer hunting season is from Nov. 5- Jan. 1 and new special season is Jan. 2-15. Any hunter born after Sept. 2, 1971 must have successfully completed a mandatory Hunter Education Training Course and have the certification, plus a valid Texas Hunter license and photo ID, with them while hunting. Hunter Safety is not required to buy a hunting license, but it is required for an individual to hunt alone, without the accompaniment of another hunter who is either certified or was born prior to Sept. 2, 2971.
