Howdy y’all. As spring gives way to summer across Texas, the landscape comes alive with new beginnings. From wildflowers painting the prairie to young wildlife taking their first steps, there’s no better reminder of nature’s resilience than a walk through the Gene Howe Wildlife Management Area. Every season brings something special, but this time of year is a celebration of life, growth, and the beauty of the Texas Panhandle. Take a moment to get outside—you never know what you’ll discover.

Howdy y’all. We wanted to share a cool group of critters that are visiting us at the Gene Howe WMA. A group of more than 10 Long-eared Owls has taken up in one of our eastern red cedars. These little guys are very interesting because they form communal roosts in the winter and are very good at blending into their surroundings. They are also amazing rodent hunters.

We will keep y’all informed if we have any other cool critters show up this winter.

Hey y’all. Big news here at the Gene Howe WMA! We just wrapped up our guided Mule Deer hunt and our hunter sealed the deal on a nice buck. William Nies harvested this beautiful 4.5-year-old 4x4 sandhill stud Saturday evening. The buck scored 151 6/8” gross and 146 0/8” net, meeting the minimum required score for Texas Big Game Awards! This was also a big milestone for the Gene Howe WMA as well. This was the first Mule Deer to ever be harvested on the Gene Howe to date! Congratulations William on your great harvest.

Reminder: all deer hunts are draw only. https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/hunt/public/public_hunt_drawing/

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!
