If you are:

• age 17 and over, you must successfully complete a hunter education course; or purchase a “Hunter Education Deferral” and be accompanied. “Accompanied” means: By a person (resident or non-resident) who is at least 17, who is licensed to hunt in Texas, who has passed hunter education or is exempt (born before Sept. 2, 1971), and within normal voice control.

Hunter Education Deferral - $10
Allows a person 17 years of age or older who has not completed a hunter education program to defer completion for up to a year. A deferral may only be obtained once and is only valid until the end of the current license year. A person who has been convicted or has received deferred adjudication for violation of the mandatory hunter education requirement is prohibited from applying for a deferral.

Note: Certification is not required to purchase a hunting license.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 26)

FAIR. Water stained; 58 degrees; 0.61 feet below pool. Consistent conditions make for a consistent fishing pattern. Stripers are slow and scattered in 30-50 feet of water on live bait. Sand bass are fair in creeks, but slowing down in the main lake. Target the outside bends and deep holes in the creeks with live shad or small jigs and rattle traps. Catfish are still fair to good with cut shad in 10-15 feet of water or 20-30 feet of water fished on the bottom. Water clarity is steady at 1-8 feet of visibility and slightly stained. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service.
