Texas Big Game Awards Trophy Search Database

Article by DAVID BRIMAGER

Have you ever wanted to know about the all-time best typical whitetail ever entered in the Texas Big Game Awards (TBGA)? Or maybe how many entries you or a friend might have entered? Or possibly how many of a certain species have come a certain county in Texas? Well, now you can find out easily

We have updated the TBGA Trophy Search Tool on the TBGA website, and it can be accessed at http://www. texasbiggameawards.org/searchTrophy. php. The new database search tool allows access to the TBGA’s trophy entries since the program’s inception in 1991.

Entries can be searched in a number of different ways depending on the type and amount of information in which you are interested. Search by: season, county, hunter last name or by animal. Everything you ever want to know about TBGA program entries are just a few clicks away.

We’ll be celebrating the 30th anniversary of TBGA during the Texas Wildlife Association's 36th Annual Convention, WildLife 2021, set for July 15-18 at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa. More than 40,500 hunters, landowners, youth and first-time hunters have been showcased since 1991, and the TBGA continues to be the leader in recognizing the contributions that landowners, land managers and responsible hunters make to wildlife and wildlife habitat conservation on Texas’ private lands.

Visit the TBGA website and log on the Trophy Search Tool to check out awardees from this season or past seasons.

Have a safe and enjoyable hunting season—and we look forward to seeing you at the TBGA 30th Anniversary Celebration on Friday July 16 at 7 p.m.during WildLife 2021. Sign up today at www.wildlife2021.com or by calling (800) 839-9453.
