Pheasant hunting season opens in 37 Texas counties on Dec. 2, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has forecasted a below-average season for hunters. TPWD biologists found fewer birds along survey routes in the Panhandle and South Plains as has been the case in the past five to six years due to dry conditions and limited cover.
