Texas Big Game Awards

The purpose of the TBGA is to promote awareness about wildlife management and the role that hunting plays in habitat conservation, and to foster cooperation among stakeholders who ensure that our state’s wildlife habitat is conserved forever.

TBGA is a free certificate based awards program which recognizes those individuals who harvest quality big game animals in Texas, the land managers who produce these animals, the importance of our hunting heritage, and the achievement of young and first-time hunters.

In order to preserve this legacy for future generations, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and the Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) worked together to develop the Texas Big Game Awards (TBGA). TBGA continues to be the leader in promoting education and recognition of quality habitat and quality wildlife in Texas.
