Web service connects hunters with Texas locations

AUSTIN, Texas — A new free Web service aims to connect hunters with hunting opportunities posted by private landowners in Texas.

The Hunt Texas Online Connection was created by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. About 450 hunting opportunities are listed, many of them on ranches with game ranging from quail and turkey to deer and feral hogs. Hunters must register on the site to contact landowners; the two parties then make their own leasing arrangements.

The hunting opportunities are open to nonresidents as well as long as they have a Texas hunting license.
