Many people know that Texas has very little public land. After a lot of research, I found a spot very close to my house that allowed hog hunting for free. But the piece of land is controlled by a second regulator.
I go to the Regulator's website which is out of date (aplications are for prior years and for returning hunters only) Which instructs new hunters on that land tells me I need to turn in my application in person.
When I get to the station, I learn that they no longer see visitors due to Covid and that I need to email Ranger [PITA]. I am told I need an "Application" and a "Liability Waiver" (Note the singular tense). I quickly find the liability waiver for the site , but I cannot find an actual application. form
Trying to complete the application process, Ranger PITA informs me twice my applicatios are incomplete but won't tell me what document I am missing (even though I asked him that specific question. I repeatedly asked where "the application " was that I was missing. His answer was to read the regulations.
Last night, I finally realized there was no "Application" form at all. Instead, there a two "Liability Waiver" forms that need to be filled out with barely any differences located in two different locations In the mass of other regulations.
I am 100% certain that Ranger PITA knew the correct answer and simply didn't want to let me know there was no "Application" form at all and that I simply needed to fill out two different liability waivers.
The land in question would be perfect for new hunters to start learning without having to go in on an expensive dear lease. People like Ranger PITA prevent hunters from enjoying our limited public lands.
Rant over.
