Coleto Creek Reservoir Bowhunt Drawing

Rangers at the Coleto Creek Reservoir, located between Victoria and Goliad in South Texas, are making plans for another successful bow hunting season. The deadline for submitting entries for this year’s GBRA -Coleto Creek Reservoir Bowhunts is noon on August 21, 2009. The 12th Annual Bow Hunt for white-tail deer and feral hogs will take place from October through December.

The bowhunts are restricted to the use of archery equipment and will be held on 12 consecutive weekends beginning on the weekend of Oct.3 - 4 and ending on the weekend of Dec. 19 - 20, 2009. On the first weekend of archery season legal hunting is only allowed on Saturday and Sunday. For the remaining weekends, hunters selected by random drawing will be allowed to pre-scout and begin hunting assigned areas on Friday of their hunting weekend, and continue through Sunday.

The annual hunt takes place on more than 800 acres managed by GBRA around the reservoir, but not a part of the Coleto Creek Park. Hunters will be allowed to harvest two antlerless deer and an unlimited number of feral hogs. Hunters may apply for the hunts individually or as a group with a maximum of four people per party. Each individual or group will be assigned a specific hunt area. The fee to hunt per weekend will be $105.00 per hunter.

To enter the random drawing for the hunts, send a 3.5” X 5.5” postcard that includes a name, address, daytime phone number, email address, and names of those in the hunting party (maximum of four). Each hunter may submit a postcard in his/her own name. Please note preferred hunting date(s) and send to GBRA-Bow Hunt, Coleto Creek Park, P.O. Box 68, Fannin, TX. 77960. Each individual is limited to only one postcard entry. No email entries will be accepted. Only those applicants drawn will be notified of the results of the annual draw.
