The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is excited to announce all the winners of this year’s Big Time Texas Hunts. Winners are selected by random drawing of 154,551 entries and the 14 lucky individuals have been notified.

The Big Time Texas Hunts entries raised over $1.4 million with proceeds from the drawing supporting wildlife research, habitat management and public hunting across the state.

“Big Time Texas Hunts continues to be an important conservation fundraiser for TPWD and we greatly appreciate the support of our Texas hunters that purchase entries each year,” said Kelly Edmiston, TPWD Public Hunting Coordinator. “If a hunter is lucky enough to win, they will experience the hunt of a lifetime. If they don’t, they can feel good knowing the funds from their entry go directly to wildlife conservation and public access projects on public hunting lands in Texas.”

This year’s winner of the Texas Grand Slam hunting package is Stephen Lambden of Point Comfort, Texas. Stephen is already making plans for four separate guided hunts for the state’s top four premier big game species, including desert bighorn sheep, white-tailed deer, pronghorn and mule deer.

The other category winners this year are:

  • Ultimate Mule Deer Hunt – Jared Poole, Hankamer, Texas
