Banding birds has a long and interesting history that was practiced as far back as 218 B.C. by Roman foot soldiers.

The data from banding game birds is analyzed yearly and is an essential part of determining hunting regulation development as well as for detecting changes in population sizes.  Data from banding can be used to evaluate hunting pressure, estimate productivity and survival and determine how vulnerable different ages and sexes are to hunting pressure.

The Lone Star State boasts some of the finest hunting anywhere in the country, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Big Time Texas Hunts (BTTH) offer hunters a chance to experience the best of the best.  The crown jewel of the program is the Texas Grand Slam hunt package, which includes four separate hunts for Texas’ most prized big game animals — the desert bighorn sheep, white-tailed deer, mule deer and pronghorn antelope. There are also several quality whitetail hunt packages available, as well as opportunities to pursue alligator, exotic big game, waterfowl and upland game birds.

Wade Bourne explains.
