 Top score: Larry Leschper and his daughter, Kristina, pose with the 195-pound buck she harvested that scored 148 4/8. The Big Time Texas Hunts program offers the opportunity to win one or more top guided hunts with food and lodging provided, as well as taxidermy in some cases. The crown jewel of the program is the Texas Grand Slam hunt package, which includes four separate hunts for Texas’ most prized big game animals — the desert bighorn sheep, white-tailed deer, mule deer and pronghorn antelope. There are several quality whitetail hunt packages available, as well as opportunities to pursue alligator, exotic big game, waterfowl and upland game birds. Entries for the Big Time Texas Hunt drawings are $10 each and are available wherever hunting licenses are sold or by phone (800) 895-4248. More information about the hunts, as well as purchases online, is available at (http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/dreamhunts/). There is no limit to the number of entries an individual may purchase, and entries may be purchased as gifts for others. Purchasers must be 17 years of age or older. The deadline to apply for this year’s Big Time Texas Hunts is Oct. 15, two weeks earlier than in previous years to give the winners more time to prepare for their trips. The Big Time Texas Hunts generates hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, with proceeds dedicated to providing more public hunting opportunity and to funding wildlife conservation and research programs in Texas.
