I've heard about public land doe permits several times, which allow hunters to shoot a doe during rifle season on public lands. Can anyone help me out and tell me where and how I can apply for one of these? I've checked TPWD's website and couldn't find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Carter,
You'd probably get more help in answering your question if you post it to the "Public Land" hunting forum.

I used to get a doe permit for Bannister WMA from time to time. Go to the Angelina National Forest website to enter the drawing here: http://www.fs.usda.gov/activity/texas/recreation/hunting

I think on some units they have a doe weekend, I believe it is the weekend following Thanksgiving and no permit is required.
