Prints and Notecards A beloved part of our state's heritage is the access every Texan enjoys to some of the most magnificent, thriving wildlife populations found anywhere in the United States. A key contributor to this heritage has been the symbiotic relationship that exists among sportsmen, landowners and state government. In order to preserve this legacy for future generations, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Texas Wildlife Association worked together to develop the Texas Big Game Awards. The purpose of the Texas Big Game Awards is to promote awareness about wildlife management and the role that hunting plays in habitat conservation, and to foster cooperation among the stakeholders who ensure that our state's wildlife habitat is conserved forever. Because 97% of the land in Texas is privately owned, encouraging landowners to actively manage their property for wildlife is the best way to guarantee that the habitat of all species, including the mule deer, remains an enduring part of our native ecosystem for generations to come. Wildlife artist Mike Childress has created this limited edition 2003 print and notecard series with matching envelopes featuring the number one non-typical white-tailed deer taken in Texas during the 2001-2002 hunting season. Notecards come in sets of 25. All proceeds benefit the Texas Big Game Awards and wildlife-oriented education activities for Texas youth. This series of limited edition notecards was underwritten by Eastman Chemical Company. |
