Many of the dove fields and small game hunting properties included as part of the Annual Public Hunting (APH) permit are private lands which are leased as part of the Voluntary Public Access (VPA). As a sign of appreciation, Texas BHA is looking for members to adopt a VPA lease for the 2022 hunting season.
To adopt a VPA lease, select a property from the APH map here. 2022-23 Texas Public Hunting (arcgis.com) VPA properties are represented by the gold stars and clicking the star will show you the name and unit number. After selecting a property, complete the form here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0545A9A72FABF94-texas
By adopting a VPA lease, a BHA member is pledging to:
- Purchase your 2022-2023 Annual Public Hunting (APH) Permit
- Enjoy the public land! Get out and hunt at least once, and preferably at least once after opening weekend.
- Bring a trash bag during your visit and collect trash on or adjacent to the public hunting grounds (after a morning hunt or before an afternoon hunt)
- Write a thank you note that can be delivered to the landowner.
We also ask that you send photos of yourself and your hunt party enjoying our Public Lands to Texas BHA or tag Texas BHA on social media.
About the Voluntary Public Access Program:
Each year, landowners across the state participate in the Voluntary Public Access (VPA) program, leasing their land to the state so it can be opened for public hunting access for all Texans who purchase the Annual Public Hunting (APH) permit with their Hunting License for $48. VPA leases can be found in all areas of the state, with many in close proximity to our largest cities. These properties are typically leased for the September/October dove season but may also be leased for other game as well, including waterfowl, upland birds, and other small game.
