Texas Big Game Awards Region 1

Last Saturday, the Texas Big Game Awards were held for Region 1 here in Childress, Texas. While my wife shopped and had her fingernails done, I took the kids to the city auditorium to see some of the best deer taken from the Texas Panhandle and parts of the Texas Rolling Plains.

The big game awards features mule deer, whitetail, and pronghorns but, as expected, whitetails outnumbered the other species. A host of educational displays were at the banquet as well.

The Texas Big Game awards celebrate their 17th year honoring hunters, landowners, and wildlife from all over Texas. According to www.texasbiggameawards.com, the program was created "...to promote awareness about wildlife management and the role that hunting plays in habitat conservation, and to foster cooperation among stakeholders who ensure that our state's wildlife habitat is conserved forever."

Looks like the program is doing something right.

Below are the top entries from this past season:
