TPWD announces duck blind prohibition

Submitted by Casscounty1 on
AUSTIN – The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is announcing plans to prohibit permanent duck blinds on the Caddo Lake Wildlife Management Area (WMA) effective the 2015-16 waterfowl season to resolve escalating public use conflicts and natural resource issues. A public meeting outlining the decision and plans for removal of permanent duck blinds is set at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 2, at the Caddo Lake State Park Recreation Hall.
TPWD will allow duck hunters to use existing permanent duck blinds on Caddo Lake WMA during the 2014-15 hunting season. Individuals claiming those duck blinds will have a brief period (until March 15, 2015) to remove blinds following the 2014-15 waterfowl season. After that, TPWD will take steps to remove the blinds.
