The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department added nearly 3,000 acres of land in Stephens County for a new wildlife management area.Wildlife officials said the new area would allow access to hunting land in an area of the state where limited public hunting land currently exists. The WMA will have opportunities for walk-in quail hunting and drawn hunts for deer, turkey, and possibly waterfowl, said TPWD."The new Robbie Davis WMA will go a long way to increase public hunting opportunities and support our hunting heritage that is part and parcel to Texas," said Alan Cain, TPWD Wildlife Division Director. "Hunting has and always will be critical to the conservation of our native lands and wildlife."Robbie Davis was a ranch owner in Stephens County. When she died, she left the property to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation in the hopes it would benefit Texans."Robbie Davis entrusted her family’s ranch to Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation with the hope it would one day benefit all Texans,"
