Sitting here this morning on public land and I've counted 6 different people jogging through the place with dove hunters on either side of them. No way they had a permit or registered. The 3 I saw coming in weren't wearing enough clothes to carry anything with them. Bunch of college girls. Is that not a safety concern?

There are likely more joggers than hunters that vote. Hopefully we can all coexist and tolerate one another. No real safety concern, if I can avoid shooting various bird species than I can likely avoid joggers.

Probably PETA chics hoping to get peppered so they get on the news and talk about how dangerous we hunters are

In Oklahoma no non hunting activities are allowed during hunting season on WMA's.

We're they good lookin?? Lol I wouldn't mind seeing some hot college chick jogging by while I was hunting... We hunted a field in rockwall last year had girls come by frequently they would always smile and wave.... The time my wife came with us, she was not happy that these girls made our field their daily resting stop ha ha. The joggers you saw probably have a limited use permit which allows people access for hiking, photography, jogging, bike riding ect.

Joggers and bicycle riders are the worst


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Non- hunting parties dont need a permit to be on certain (if any?) WMA's if you read the public hunting booklet. But, they are supposed to wear orange and urged not to use the WMA's during hunting season, but nothing saying they CAN'T, as far as I am aware. I've had the same problem with geocachers on other WMA's.

Safety concern? Probably, but I guess we all need to check our shooting lanes prior to each shot.

Imagine what its like to be riding your horse or jogging and see some Bubba hiding on the fence line with a gun. Gotta be a little disturbing.

I've had WAY MORE hunts screwed up by idiot hunters rather than idiot non-hunters.

Not even close.

I'll disagree with that statement. To help with revenue, TPWD had to enact a LPH permit. Its for limited use, such as jogging.

This is 100% correct.

Limited Public Use (LPU) Permit - $12

A Limited Public Use (LPU) Permit is also available and provides access to the same properties at the same times as the APH.
The LPU allows similar recreational activities covered by the APH, but does not authorize hunting.
LPU Permit holders also receive a Map Booklet for Public Hunting Lands listing available areas, facilities, maps, rules, and schedules.
Youth under age 17 may access these areas for free with a permitted adult

If they are selling the permits, there isn't much one can do except put up with them.

I got a ticket once for being on a WMA without a permit. It had been dry and I drove in to look if there was any water before I bought my permit. I had no gun or camo one me.
